Get rid of auto waste at recycling event
Chuck’s Auto Salvage will hold its 12th annual Earth Day recycling celebration on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m..
The community is invited to bring its automotive-related recyclables such as waste oil, antifreeze, automotive lead batteries and tires (limit four) to Chuck’s Auto Salvage, 6867 Boyertown Pike (Route 562), Amity Township, for proper disposal at no charge.
Gasoline can’t be accepted.
Most people recycle plastics and glass, but what about the items that don’t go in the blue box? It is important to dispose of all automotive solid and liquid waste properly. In the past, our Earth Day Events have included over 500 households, brought in 1,359 gallons of waste oil and 1,397 tires along with other fluids and scrap metal.
As a result, Mother Nature is extremely happy because none of these pollutants end up in our ground, streams or landfills.
For every lead battery collected during this year’s event, Chuck’s Auto Salvage will donate $20 to local youth athletics. Additionally,
for helping to keep the environment clean, Chuck’s will reward each Earth Day supporter a $10 coupon toward your next purchase. Again, Mother Nature is nodding her head in approval!
The automotive dismantling industry is one of the original recyclers. Chuck’s Auto Salvage, celebrating 49 years as a family-owned, third-generation company, has prided itself on being environmentally conscious.
We currently recycle all fluids including oil, brake fluid, antifreeze, washer fluid, and freon during our indoor dismantling process. We also recycle lead batteries, tires and other automotive materials.
Customers benefit from the millions of dollars in savings from buying and using Green Recycled Parts, parts that are good for your vehicle because they match the original manufacturer’s specifications, fit and performance. They are tested and guaranteed to strict guidelines. They are good for your wallet because they cost half as much as new parts.
Most importantly, they are good for the Earth because they preserve natural resources and reduce air and water pollution.
Each year, recycled parts save an estimated 80 million barrels of oil required to produce new replacement parts.
“The automobile is the most recycled consumer product in the world,” said co-owner Doug Reinert.
Make Mother Nature happy and make our community a cleaner place to live by recycling your automotive waste properly. The more we collect, the more
you help our community and the environment. Additionally, don’t forget to bring the family to register for door prizes.
Group tours can be arranged by contacting Dee Leech at 484-925-1099, ext. 108.
Co-sponsors for the event: Reliable Enterprises; Hazleton Oil & Environmental Inc.; and assorted area businesses donating door prizes.
