Project SAM winds down after successful auto body cleanup
Environment Minister Stephen Rogers announced that the Salvage Assembly and Manufacture program has achieved its goals and will gradually wind down. Since its start ten years ago it removed about 16 000 rusting hulks annually, reducing roadside litter as private industry now handles crushing and shredding, though some remote areas remain a challenge.
