Buying Used Auto Parts is a Great Way to Go Green

We should all do our part to help save the environment, especially when doing so is easy (and can save you money)! Here are just a few ways that buying used auto parts help saves the environment:

• Keep Stuff Out of Landfills – Landfills have adverse effects on air and soil quality, and have a direct negative impact on humans and nature. One of the best things we can do for the environment is to minimize the amount of waste we discard. When you buy used auto parts, you are directly helping to keep these parts out of landfills.
• Recycle and Reuse-  Recycling auto parts is important (including recycling your used motor oil), but another important part of recycling is upcycling. Recycling costs resources, whereas upcycling or reusing items requires little to no new resources.
• New Parts Use More Resources – Any newly manufactured item requires resources to create. And it’s not just the resources used in production, but also those used to transport the product across the country or world. Buying used auto part helps reduce these environmental costs.
• Repair Your Car for the Environment – The very act of keeping your car in good repair is good for the environment, as a well-maintained car puts out reduced emissions. Simply put, the better your vehicle is running, the less it contributes to air pollution.

The environmental impact is great, but buying used will also you’ll save money! You don’t have to be Captain Planet to appreciate the monetary benefits, so check out our prices and parts catalog today!
