INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) presented Go Green Auto LLC, located at 1341 West 29th Street in Indianapolis, with the Indiana Clean Yard award in recognition of the company’s efforts to protect the environment.
Hani Sharaya, a senior environmental engineer in IDEM’s Office of Program Support, presented a commemorative certificate to Operations Manager Mostafa Eldin during a site visit. This marks the third Indiana Clean Yard award that Go Green Auto LLC has received.
Salvage yards receive and store wrecked vehicles containing antifreeze, gasoline, oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, batteries, mercury switches, and tires. If not managed properly, wrecked vehicles stockpiled in salvage yards can pose an environmental threat. IDEM is committed to helping auto salvage recyclers ensure environmental protection.
IDEM has partnered with Automotive Recyclers of Indiana, Inc. (ARI) to develop the “Indiana Clean Yard” recognition program to reward auto salvage yard operators who meet two different levels of requirements: “Indiana Clean Yard” and “Indiana Clean Yard – Gold Level.”
All Hoosier businesses, including auto salvage recyclers, can obtain free, confidential compliance assistance and request confidential site visits by contacting IDEM’s Office of Compliance and Technical Assistance (CTAP) at 800-988-7901.
