Integrity Automotive, Grace Community Church & Good Samaritan have joined forces to create an ongoing vehicle ministry!!

During our Car Care Saturdays, Grace Community Church and/or Good Samaritan of Hamilton County provide a list of vehicles that belonged to families in need.  Between all of the volunteers and the IA facility, we are able to provide an oil change and safety inspection to those vehicles.

Thank you to everyone who participants in the Care Care Saturday at Integrity Automotive without all of your help, none of this would be possible.  Everyone who has walked through our door has been extremely grateful for your time and assistance in caring for their vehicle.  Because of your efforts, everyone drives away in a safer vehicle!

If you would like more information about volunteering your time, a vehicle or a monetary donation please visit Grace Community Church or Good Samaritan’s websites by clicking on their logo.

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)
