Standard Auto Wreckers a Toronto-based certified auto recycler and founder of the www.GreenVehicleDisposal.com network, has announced that it has received certification by Canada’s Retire Your Ride Program. The certification notes that Standard Auto Wreckers abides by Canada’s national code of practice in supporting the country’s Retire Your Ride program.
Retire Your Ride is an initiative of the Canadian government that is designed to enable people to remove older, less fuel-efficient vehicles from Canada’s roads. The program is committed to improving air quality by responsibly recycling vehicles and aims to retire at least 50,000 vehicles per year until March 31, 2011.
“We are happy to participate in the Retire Your Ride vehicle recycling program as we work toward a common goal of getting old, end of life cars off the road to create a sustainable environment. Every heavily polluting car that is taken off the road and disposed of according to environmental standards makes a difference in the world,” says David Gold, co-owner of Standard Auto Wreckers.
