Grace Community Church - Weekend of Service @ Integrity Automotive
“On October 17-18, 2009, the doors of Grace will be closed and weekend services will be canceled. We’re engaging in a different kind of service by sending you out into the local community to be the hands and feet of Jesus by serving others in need.”
This past weekend Grace Community Church, Good Samaritan of Hamilton County and Rebuilding the Wall provided a list of 46 vehicles that belonged to families in need. Between all of the volunteers and the IA facility, we were able to provide an oil change and safety inspection to those vehicles.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Weekend of Service at Integrity Automotive this past weekend. Without all of your help, none of this would be made possible. Everyone who walked through our door was extremely grateful for your time and assistance in caring for their vehicle. Because of your efforts, everyone drove away in a safer vehicle!

IA’s Recycling Program
At Integrity Automotive, we recognize the importance of recycling all we can. Bob implemented our recycling program earlier this year after noticing the amount of trash that could indeed be recycled if sorted. We make 2-3 recycling runs each week to the Carmel Recycling Center.
Recycling Facts:
*Each of us uses approximately one 100-foot-tall Douglas fir tree in paper and wood products per year. (EPA, 2008)
*More than 56 percent of the paper consumed in the U.S. during 2007 was recovered for recycling — an all-time high. This impressive figure equals nearly 360 pounds of paper for each man, woman, and child in America. (Paper Industry Association Council, 2007)
*More than 400 paper mills in the United States use at least some recovered materials in their manufacturing processes, and more than 200 of those mills use recovered fiber exclusively. (EPA, 2008)
*Just over 48% of office paper is recovered for recycling. This becomes raw material for paperboard, tissue, and printing and writing papers. (Keep America Beautiful, 2006)
*Over 73% of all newspapers are recovered for recycling. Almost a third goes back into making more newsprint. The remainder is used to make paperboard, tissue, and insulation, or exported. (Keep America Beautiful, 2006)
*Approximately 1.5 million tons of construction products are made each year from paper, including insulation, gypsum wallboard, roofing paper, flooring, padding and sound-absorbing materials. (American Forest and Paper Association, 2002)
*Recycled paper can also be made into paper towels, notebook paper, envelopes, copy paper and other paper products, as well as boxes, hydro-mulch, molded packaging, compost, and even kitty litter. (EPA, 2008)
