Preston said that in the last three years, Safety-Kleen has processed more than 400 million gallons of used oil, and returned more than 1 million gallons of re-refined oil products to the market in California alone, all while reducing dependency on foreign oil while significantly reducing greenhouse gas and heavy metal emissions.

Seriously, I required my technicians to bring back every screw, bolt, washer, etc from their installations so I could save. You uninstalled something? Great, bring all the parts back, let’s see if there’s something we can use, like a TV Tuner or a power cord, etc. Then we sold it to the next clients. For the record, CompUSA has purchased $10,000’s in old power cords from us over the years and $10 a pop.
The land fills of yesterday will be the mines of tomorrow…
How far away is your tomorrow? Cause the landfills of yesterday are the homes of today!
