Recycling Thoughts
Many of us drop off our car for routine maintenance and feel good about the fact that this responsible habit improves our car’s efficiency. But what else is going on under the hood? Where do all of those “used” car fluids go?
It is just as important to know the answers to these questions as it is to recycle car fluids such as motor oil, transmission fluid and antifreeze. For those farmers, independent businesses, car pools and others eager to save a few bucks by doing their own routine maintenance, be sure to reuse or recycle all car fluids.
Saves Money
Motor oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid, power steering fluid and gear oil can all be recycled, and depending on specifics, this process can cost significantly less than manufacturing new products. Many auto repair shops can recycle some fluids like antifreeze onsite, and these businesses can pass their savings along to the consumer.
