Tom Wood

 

Tom Wood Automotive recognizes that all businesses can have a direct or indirect impact on their local, regional, and global environment. As a result Tom Wood has developed a green policy in order to minimize our environmental impact.

Recycling

All Tom Wood employees and patrons are encouraged to recycle. 

Tom Wood Automotive has partnered with Ray's Trash Service  in a company-wide recycling program, which includes everything from beverage bottles and cans, office/computer paper, newspapers, magazines, shipping boxes, to scrap metal from our collision center . 

The recyclable aluminum cans that we collect are then redeemed for refund and the funds are given to a local Indianapolis charity to support children with cancer: Tatum's Bags of Fun

Efficient Use of Energy

Tom Wood Automotive and our staff use and purchase energy star-compliant hardware whenever possible. 

Encourage Conservation

Tom Wood Automotive staff and employees are encouraged to conserve energy whenever possible. Including the installation of motion activated lighting in most areas of our dealerships.

Minimize Waste

Engine Oil: The used oil that we reclaim from guests vehicles after oil changes is harvested and stored and later used to heat our dealerships.

Tires: When you purchase new tires at Tom Wood, your old tires never go to a land fill. We recycle your old tires with Green Tire Reclamation.

Computer Equipment: All Tom Wood dealerships recycle old electronics, hardware, computers, etc. with Indiana based Recycle Force . They are an environmentally friendly organization who responsibly break down electronics while teaching formerly incarcerated individuals a skill and returning them to the workforce.
