5 ways Dahl "Goes Green"

Dahl Automotive has always had a passion for being environmentally friendly. Some of the greatest threats to our eco system come from items we throw away everyday. That is why we are taking every step possible to help conserve resources and protect the environment.

5 Ways Dahl Automotive "Goes Green"

  1. Tire Advantage means all of our customer’s old tires are recycled. Our partnership with Green Man Tire Recyclers ensures used tires get recycled to use in clean burning power plants in the Midwest (decrease coal consumption). Also many rubber chunks are used in kid’s outdoor playgrounds. "Dahl Automotive recycled over 4,000 tires in 2007" says Mike Tooley, parts Manager
  2. "Dahl QuickLanes recycled and burned over 12,000 gallons of waste oil last winter to heat the service shops" says Randy Hubert, Fixed Operations Director
  3. Dahl's new partnership with Dairyland Printing means our business cards and letterhead are printed on 100% recycled post consumer paper.
  4. Dahl Automotive is using compact fluorescent bulbs (CLF's) instead of traditional incandescent bulbs in lighting offices, meeting rooms and other work spaces. CFL's are about 75% more energy efficient then standard bulbs and last about 10 times longer
  5. Dahl's relationship with Hilltopper Waste ensures that all our cardboard and paper is recycled instead of filling landfills.
