SECTION C: PAST ACHIEVEMENTS

First Achievement

1a.
Waste

1b.
Non-hazardous waste generation

1c.

The average amount of shredder fluff (non-metallic waste) generated by vehicles processed and shipped has decreased from 560 lbs/car to 440 lbs/car (an average of 120 lbs/car) from 2004 to 2006. This decrease in the amount of shedder fluff was determined by a study conducted by a vehicle recycler used by Pull-A-Part. The quantities listed below in C.2.b. were derived by multiplying the amount of shredder weight (lbs) by the number of vehicles processed for a given year.

1d.

Pull-A-Part implemented more Best Management Practices to accomplish this commitment. Also, more vehicle components were reused, recycled, and retailed.

Regarding the normalization factor of C.2.d. below, the number of cars processed decreased from 2004 to 2006.

SECTION C: Application Commitments

Commitment 1

Waste
Hazardous waste generation
 All measurements should represent the performance level for the indicator across the entire facility. For many indicators, however, you may choose to focus your commitment on a specific subset of the indicator, e.g. a specific material, a specific group of toxic air emissions, a particular waste component, a specific VOC, etc.Specific

Mercury, 1 gram mercury/switch, based on ELVS website.

Pull-A-Part, LLC is NOT a hazardous waste generator. Previously, mercury switches remained intact with the vehicle as they were shipped to the recycler. The mercury switches would remain with the steel until it reached the steel mill. At the steel mill, mercury is emitted into the air as a toxin, which later enters and contaminates waterways. By voluntarily removing mercury switches from vehicles and shipping them to an off-site recycler, Pull-A-Part is preventing downstream mercury contamination of the environment and, thereby, reducing downstream hazardous waste generation.
