Environmental Impact

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.
Our Smart Car customer shuttle, which is highly fuel efficient, puts fewer pollutants into the air and is constructed primarily from recyclable materials.
