: Nordstrom’s Automotive Inc wants to remind you
Automotive recycling is the recycling at the purest. Re-use is the ultimate form of recycling. Raw materials and expensive manufacturing are not required when a quality used auto part is harvested from another vehicle and used again. Reusing the Green Recycled Parts® is the best way to recycle for sure, but there is more! Approximately 86 percent of each vehicle is recycled. That equates to six million tires, 100 million Gallons of Gas and Diesel fuel, 24 Million gallons of motor oil, eight million gallons of engine coolant and 4.5 million gallons of windshield wiper fluid annually. Every year end of life vehicles produce over 14 million tons of steel to be reused and recycled. More than 97 percent of all the vehicle battery lead is recycled. Certified Auto Recyclers and others like Nordstrom’s have removed over 4 million switches containing mercury. This effort has stopped over 8500 pounds. of environmentally contaminating Mercury from causing dangerous pollution. With the effort of conscious Auto Recyclers, the vehicle is one of the greenest products on the planet! The size of the American automotive fleet currently numbers approximately 270 million vehicles, nearly one apiece for every man woman and child in the country. Of these, it is estimated that nearly 11 million vehicles are taken off the road each year when they are totaled in accidents or reach their End of Life. (EOL) Nordstrom’s Automotive Inc of rural Garretson is a Certified Auto Recycler (CAR) who prides themselves in offering our customers great savings while promoting a green environment. All harmful pollutants are contained and disposed of properly throughout our dismantling operation. Nordstrom’s has been recycling EOL vehicles since the late 1960’s’; over 45 years!
Have a great EARTH DAY!
