Total Automotive is committed to a smaller carbon footprint. As a result, recycling and other green initiatives are an integral part of our overall business plan. Our environmental programs include: • Safe disposal of old batteries as prescribed by New York State law. • Scrap metal collection and recycling. • Capturing and recycling refrigerant from automotive AC systems. • Recycling of old tires and other rubber products. • Anti-freeze disposal. • Recycling cardboard and other product packaging. • Waste oil capture and reuse to heat our facilities. Waste oil recycling currently provides 80% of the heat used to keep our facilities warm during the winter months. Last year alone, this program resulted in safe reuse and disposal of over 2,000 gallons of waste oil. • We feature and actively promotion nitrogen tire inflation, which results in better fuel economy, longer tire life, improved safety and a smaller carbon footprint. Our Nitrogen Conversion Service also includes free membership in the Go Green emergency auto road club.
