Shop the Area’s Cleanest Pick a Part Junkyard
At Auto Parts City, we work hard to be an eco-friendly recycling facility option. Since we opened in the 1930s, we have worked every day to reduce our impact on the local environment. In fact, we have revolutionized the junk car inventory by introducing new, innovative recycling options. This focus has earned us multiple awards.
For example, each of our recycling facilitys has a recycling system underneath that collects all of the fluids from our junk cars. Before any car heads out to our lot, we drain and filter the fluids so they can be resold and reused. This means no toxic chemicals are leached into the ground and ground water, helping to protect your community and the environment.
For those cars that are not eligible for our used car inventory, we don’t just send them to the landfill. Metal and glass are recycled to be used in new cars, so every bit of the vehicle that is salvageable or recyclable is used. Because of this, our facility has been named the “Greenest Facility in the Country.”
We know that you care about the environment. We do too! When you shop for your used parts with Auto Parts City, you can be confident that you are doing your part to protect the environment by supporting your local eco-friendly recycling facility.
