Keeping It Green

Old Tires

We Purchased a trailer to keep old tires in so that they do not collect water and invite mosquitoes. Once the container is full,  off to the recycler, it goes. Every old tire is accounted for, and a permitted vehicle delivers the old tires to the recycler to become a paved road in the future.

Batteries

Every battery must be disposed of properly it’s the law. Parkway’s battery vendor picks up an old battery with the delivery of every new battery. Old batteries are stored in a safe place inside the building so that no battery acid can get outside and into the drainage system.

A/C refrigerant

Talk about strict guidelines. Every single technician at Parkway has to be trained on the correct handling of refrigerants. When you see all that’s required, its like handling nuclear waste!

Old oil and fluids

Old oil is placed in a large tank that sits inside a huge bathtub. The bathtub is a container in case there is a compromise in the tank. Old oil filters are drained for 24 hours before they are discarded as metal. Old oil is is then transported to a recyler or up north to be used in waste oil heaters.

Old Car Parts

Parkway makes sure that old car parts do not make it the landfill.  They place all metal parts in a trailer and once it is full the trailer heads to the recycler to become a skyscraper, a robot or even another car.

Trash

You will find two dumpsters at Parkway. One is for the landfill while the other is for paper and cardboard. Parkway services 80-100 cars a week.  Their landfill dumpster is only five cubic yards and requires a pick up once every two weeks, this speaks to how little trash makes it to the landfill from Parkway.

Cleaning Fluids

All cleaning procedures at Parkway use Bio-degradable products. A machine is used to clean the floor, and the water from the device is disposed of properly. Nothing gets washed out of the building.
