Florida Doing Its Best to Keep the Junk Out
Anyone who has ever been to the Sunshine State can attest to the beauty that abounds here.
And as beautiful as it is, it is also extremely sensitive to the introduction of toxins into its fragile ecosystems.
That's why Florida junk yards are working harder than ever to protect this wondrous environment.
By joining together to found FADRA (Florida Auto Dismantlers and Recyclers Association) Florida Auto Recyclers are determined to keep the hazardous waste materials left over from non-operative vehicles from finding their way into Florida's water and Air.
Members of FADRA promise to do this by keeping the following code of ethics: 1.
To promote the conservation of energy and the total utilization of our resources, both natural and manufactured.
2.
To determine, within all practical limits, the quality and condition of each automotive part offered for direct recycling and to represent same accurately.
3.
To accept the social responsibility for good community relations, improved environment, integration of minority personnel into the industry, and for assisting local charitable and civic organizations.
4.
To be compatible business neighbors.
5.
To maintain a clean and non-polluted environment in our places of business.
6.
To operate according to the ordinances, statutes, and laws of the various jurisdictions.
7.
Not to reduce a reusable automotive part to scrap as long as we believe there remains a reasonable potential of saving the energy it represents by negating the need to manufacture a similar replacement part.
8.
To provide the best possible product at the lowest possible cost.
By adopting these tenets the owners of salvage yards in Florida are proud to show that they are committed to preserving the natural environment of the state and are dedicated to providing quality used parts for less to citizens of the great state of Florida.
With today's financial climate, Florida's salvage yards provide a valuable service.
Most use a direct access inventory system that links Florida salvage yards with other recyclers throughout the country by means of the internet.
This allows consumers to save time and money locating quality used auto parts at prices they can afford.
Just one phone call to local auto recyclers is usually all that is required now to find that much-needed part.
If no one locally has it, that's not a problem either now that auto recyclers are now able to access each other's inventory.
Once the part has been located it is a simple matter to have the part shipped directly to the place it needs to be.
Auto recyclers in Florida have given auto owners a great chance to protect the environment by choosing to repair their vehicles with parts that have many miles left in them.
This simple reuse of parts has already saved enough steel to manufacture over 13 million new cars.
This saves this energy it would have taken to manufacture a new part as well as the raw iron and aluminum ore that must be mined.
These non renewable resources are precious and repairing vehicles with used parts means we can leave hundreds of thousands of tons of the raw resources untouched in the ground.
And as beautiful as it is, it is also extremely sensitive to the introduction of toxins into its fragile ecosystems.
