It should be if it isn't because it can be likened to blackmail and extortion. A core charge traditionally applies to batteries and rebuild able automotive parts like engines, alternators, starters, etc. If you can't provide a rebuild able part, there is an additional fee for the core components, aka the core charge.
These recycling yards are applying core charges to everything and anything that has a scrap metal value. They are not in the business of rebuilding or refurbishing automotive parts. They charge you a "Core" charge to steal your scrap metal. Either you return with your old parts and are refunded. They say it's for the "planet". Obviously they are selling a lot of metal to scrap yards at a profit. They are making a killing already on the catalytic converter, and often times especially with older cars the value of the platinum metals recovers more than they paid for the car to begin with and everything they do from there forth is for 100% profit. They are extorting and blackmailing you to return with scrap metal or be stiffed for a misapplied core charge.
