Responsible Recycling | Premier Kia Partners with TerraCycle

Recycling & Reducing Waste

We believe it's the responsibility of automotive businesses to not only reduce harmful vehicle emissions but also to minimize waste in our everyday lives that accumulates in landfills and our environment.  Reducing waste, recycling and helping to maintain a better, cleaner environment for all people is the goal.  At Premier we do things like reuse waste oil to heat our facility, purchase carbon offset credits to offset our power usage, utilize electric vehicles in our loaner fleet, and minimize paper usage with streamlined computer systems and applications.  There are so many thing Auto Dealerships can do reduce their carbon footprint.  We participate in as many programs as possible.

Special signage is placed throughout the dealership to let patrons know about our commitment to a safer cleaner environment listing the steps we take to recycle waste from our business operations

Finding A Recycling Partner

TerraCycle helped us identify recycling opportunities we hadn't thought of and assisted with how to engage employees and patrons to participate in our recycling initiatives. We have numerous dedicated disposal bins throughout our facility designed to keep materials sorted and ready for regular recycling picks.  And TerraCycle helped us focus on sourcing products we use everyday that we are certain can be 100% recycled.  They can provide a wealth of knowledge and resources to help any business implement better recycle and responsible waste programs.
