Cleaning Parts and Recycling Water

Parts are cleaned by machines designed to do so.   Water used by our steam cleaner is circulated through a closed sump and purifier system.  This saves water and allows us to collect the grease that comes off of our parts.

Freon and Antifreeze

If freon is still present in a vehicle when we receive it, it is collected using a special machine.

Oil

A special oil burning furnace heats our dismantling building. During the summer, oil is collected. During the winter, our furnace burns it with little resulting pollution.

Vehicles and Tires

When all of the sellable parts are removed from a vehicle, scrap metal and bad tires remain. The hulk of the vehicle is crushed and recycled. The tires are temporarily stored at our facility until tire recyclers take them away.
