Year: 2009

For too long the recycling industry operated in individual silos across the country. After Lecavalier Auto Parts appeared in 2009’s Canadian Auto Recyclers it was apparent from the number of congratulatory calls we received that our industry’s national identity is advancing. We are now being given the respect long overdue for the advancements our industry is making.

Depuis beaucoup trop longtemps, l’industrie du recyclage automobile fonctionne sans réelle cohésion à travers le pays. Après avoir fait la première page de l’édition 2009 du Canadian Auto Recyclers, les multiples messages de Pièces automobiles Lecavalier démontrent que notre industrie s’implante en tant qu’identité nationale. Nous bénéficions maintenant du respect longtemps attendu des autres acteurs économiques du secteur de l’automobile et du public en général grâce aux avancements réalisés.

It was quite an honour to be featured on the second cover of Canadian Auto Recyclers. I didn’t look at it as a personal triumph in any way, but as a triumph for our industry overall. By celebrating the successes of our community we can educate and inform our partners and attract new ones.

It’s good to see our industry recognized for accomplishments we have made and for those we will create in the future.

Canadian Auto Recyclers magazine and its great staff have become incredible partners in the automotive recycling community since the publication was first launched in 2006. It was an honour to have the opportunity to share the story and history of our family’s business with the rest of the industry and the public.

Auto recyclers in Canada do so much for their communities and the environment.

Every year Canadian Auto Recyclers tells that to the world by highlighting all the good work the industry has done. In 2010 I was honoured to share my story alongside many great examples of innovation, creativity and respect for the environment. I look forward to seeing the good work Canadian recyclers continue to do.

Collectivement les recycleurs automobiles du Canada font beaucoup de bien pour l’environnement. C’est un fait que Canadian Auto Recyclers clame haut et fort chaque année en parlant de l’excellent travail fait dans l’industrie. L’année dernière, j’ai eu l’honneur de partager mon histoire aux côtés de plusieurs grands exemples d’innovation, de créativité et de respect de l’envrironnement. J’ai bien hâte de voir le bon travail que les recycleurs Canadiens continuent de faire.

When Carcone’s was selected to be featured on the inaugural cover of CAR, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. After it was printed and distributed the calls kept coming in: from fellow recyclers, insurers and even from local schools. Nothing had ever been done of this magnitude.

I truly believe all our partners have a better understanding of who we are as a group, and the benefits we bring to the table.

Lorsque Carcone a été choisi pour figurer sur la couverture inaugurale du Canadian Auto Recyclers je n’étais pas tout à fait sûr à quoi m’attendre.

Après l’impression et la distribution de l’article, nous avons reçu plusieurs demandes variées de recycleurs, de collègues, d’assureurs et même d’écoles locales. Rien n’avait été jamais fait d’une telle ampleur pour promouvoir l’image de notre industrie. Je crois que tous nos partenaires ont une meilleure compréhension qui nous sommes en tant que groupe et des solutions constructives que nous proposons.

EDITOR’S NOTES DU RÉDACTEUR EN CHEF

Guided Tour The world of auto recycling has opened its doors. Come on in.

T

he public perception of automotive recycling has changed enormously over the last 10 years, but an incident this past summer made me realize there are still people who haven’t gotten the message.

Louisiana Attorney General James D. “Buddy” Caldwell filed a lawsuit in August charging that State Farm is illegally forcing collision repair facilities to install unsafe parts.

“State Farm has created a culture of unsafe business practices in which consumer vehicle repairs are performed with cost-savings as the primary goal, rather than safety and reliability,” said Caldwell. He’s also quoted as saying: “In some cases, we’ve found that these parts are nothing more than used junkyard parts.”

That’s a phrase almost guaranteed to make a progressive auto recycler’s blood boil. David Gold is the co-owner of Standard Auto Wreckers. He also currently sits on the board of the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA), and happens to be this issue’s cover story.

“Honestly, it’s disgraceful,” says Gold.

“Some recyclers have opened their doors to town councils, hardcore environmentalists, members of legislative assemblies, and others, and they all changed their tune. I can say that some of the biggest detractors are blown away when they see what’s really going on in a modern recycling yard.”

Consider this publication your invitation to see what’s really going on in the world of automotive recycling. Come on in. The doors are open.

core passé.

En août, le procureur général de Louisiane,

James D. « Buddy » Caldwell, a déposé plainte contre State Farm, qui forcerait les carrosseries à utiliser des pièces dangereuses. « State Farm a créé une culture de pratiques non sécuritaires dans laquelle l’objectif premier est la réparation la moins chère possible, plutôt que la sécurité et la fiabilité », avance M. Caldwell. Il aurait également affirmé : « dans certains cas, nous avons découvert que ces pièces viennent de la casse. » Cette phrase mettra hors de lui tout recycleur automobile progressiste. David Gold est co-propriétaire de Standard Auto Wreckers et membre du conseil d’administration de l’ARA, et il paraît en article-couverture. « Honnêtement, c’est honteux, s’indigne M. Gold.

“What a year it has been,” says MacDonald “It has indeed been a privilege to share experiences and work with you - a diverse membership of progressive and talented industry leaders.”

MacDonald was first nominated to serve on the Executive Committee in 2010.

“In my first address to you as ARA President about this time last year, I spoke of my plans to help strengthen ARA through building partnerships and promoting certification. With the help of leadership, colleagues and staff, your association has made great strides on both of these initiatives this past year,” says MacDonald. “As I traveled this past year, I became acutely aware of the various colourful and creative differences common to our industry not only within North America but worldwide.”

Grants in Gear Auto recyclers look beyond their own yards to fund environmental initiatives.

A

good automotive recycler can’t help but be environmentally friendly, but great ones still manage to go beyond. In 2013, the Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) and Summerhill Impact announced a new national charitable funding program to give $100,000 to non-profit organizations and entrepreneurial groups so they may develop environmentally conscious initiatives.

“The aim of ‘Grants in Gear’ is to extend the environmental benefits achieved through the dedication of ARC and its members’ environmental best practices,” says Steve Fletcher, Managing Director of ARC. “Just as gears in a vehicle work together to achieve a greater goal, this program connetcs ARC funding with Canadian NGOs and entrepreneurial groups that share our vision for the environment.”

The funds for the program have been generated through the numerous vehicle retirement pro-

grams that ARC and its members have employed over the years, with a portion of the revenues from each vehicle in ARC’s vehicle retirement program going into the charitable fund.

The four winners are: Fraser Basin Council, who will deliver the “E3 Fleet: Gear Up!” project to provide customized solutions to reduce fleet emissions and improve the environmental and economic performance of ten fleets throughout Canada.

Recycling Council of Alberta, who will develop an offset quantification protocol to apply to the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the diversion of waste through recycling.

Plug’n Drive (in partnership with WWF-Canada and the Canadian Condominium Institute Toronto Chapter), who will identify and address the technical, legislative and logistical issues that prevent the installation of electric vehicle charging stations in condominiums.

Automotive Recyclers Environmental Association (AREA), who will establish an infrastructure to responsibly manage and recycle end-of-life vehicles from a remote northern community in British Columbia. AREA also won the Green Recycled Parts Impact Award, for which they will receive an additional $5,000 that will be used to expand their program to additional remote locations and engage First Nations Communities. For more on this, see page 66.

AREA was also selected to receive the Green Recycled Parts Impact Award, which they will use to develop programs for additional remote locations and First Nations Communities, and demonstrate how the CAREC standard for auto recycling can be applied in remote locations.

This is only the first year of Grants in Gear, but it has already accomplished great things.

Automotive L’Automotive Recyclers of Canada Recyclers of Canada National association takes its place on the international stage.

L’association nationale prend sa place sur la scène internationale.

It’s been an exciting year for the Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC). Since it’s founding, ARC has been a central meeting point for all provincial automotive recycling associations, allowing them to leverage their collective voice to bring forward the message of Green Recycled Parts. However, this year has seen ARC go beyond our borders and help push that message out to the greater world.

In addition to serving as Canada’s national association, ARC is also a chapter of the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA), a North American wide recycling organization devoted to the same values of environmental stewardship, quality parts, and exceptional customer service.

This year saw long-time ARC member and supporter Ed MacDonald of Maritime Auto Parts conclude his presidency of the ARA, while at the same time welcoming fellow Canadian David Gold of

Cette année a été palpitante pour l’Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) Depuis sa fondation, l’ARC est un point de rassemblement des associations de recyclage automobiles provinciales qui leur permet de s’exprimer d’une voix pour faire passer leur message concernant les pièces recyclées vertes. Mais cette année, l’ARC ne s’est pas arrêtée à nos frontières et a diffusé ce message dans le monde entier.

L’ARC est une association nationale canadienne, mais aussi une section de l’Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA), une organisation nord-américaine de recyclage partageant les mêmes valeurs concernant la gérance de l’environnement, les pièces de qualité et un service à la clientèle exceptionnel.

That’s just the start of the international endeavours undertaken by ARC in the past year. In addition, the association was a major force at the International Roundtable on Auto Recycling, a major international event that moves to different host cities around the world. You can see more on this year’s event in Japan on page 63.

Most recently, Steve Fletcher, ARC’s Managing Director, travelled to Korea to bring the Canadian message to the Asian Automotive Environmental Forum.

“All around the world, we find acceptance and praise for the Canadian way of recycling end-of-life vehicles,” says Fletcher. “I’m very proud to say that when auto recyclers in other countries decide they need to do better, they look to our members for the way forward.”

The Alberta Automotive Recyclers and Dismantlers Association (AARDA) set its sights on the Great White North this year, taking part in the Tundra Take-Back program launched in July 2014. The initiative, designed to remove ELVs from Canada’s Arctic, was a focus during AARDA’s 2014 Annual General Meeting and Conference (AGM) on May 1. Summerhill Impact’s Caroline Sturk invited association members to clean up the north, leading Sarah Brophy and Ed Wiersma to later make trips to Nunavut to help educate community residents on depollution. At the AGM, Sturk also addressed progress made by Alberta recyclers in their contribution to Switch Out, the national program aiming to safely remove toxic mercury switches found in ELVs. Other conference topics included the implementation of CAREC Certification, issues arising from parts procurement programs, and the sale of parts from water damaged vehicles.

It was another year of change for The Automotive Recyclers Association of Atlantic Canada (ARAAC), with longstanding members passing the torch down to the next generation. During the ARAAC Annual Meeting in October 2014, Dana Poehl of Poehl’s Auto Recyclers, and One Stop Auto’s Larry Drouin stepped down as treasurer and secretary respectively, with Shelley Roy of Blenkhorn Auto Recyclers and Capital City Auto Parts’ Heather Langille elected to fill the roles.

ARAAC President Dalbert Livingstone, of Island Auto Supply, welcomed Roy and Langille to their new positions within the association, while thanking Poehl and Drouin for their years of service. “I’m excited to see what Heather and Shelley can bring to the table as a younger generation,” he says, he himself elected just last year—also a part of the recent surge of fresh new blood helping to move ARAAC and its mission into the future.

B-CAR has had a busy year. ICBC revised its buyer protocols in April, removing long-standing policies regarding salvage sales and processing requirements. Parts-only salvage buyers are still required to be licensed and certified with the Ministry of Environment, but with little monitoring or enforcement it’s believed non-compliant recyclers will have more access to parts via third parties. With the assistance of ARC, B-CAR will draft a white paper on the economic and environmental benefits of the auto dismantling industry in B.C. The intent is to provide government policy-makers real verified third party data to support association recommendations. B-CAR will be hosting the ARC mid-year Board meeting in Vancouver April 24 and 25 along with its mid-year conference. The conference coincides with the ISRI convention, which will be held in Vancouver April 21 to 25.

Cette année, l’Alberta Automotive Recyclers and Dismantlers Association (AARDA) tourne son regard vers le Grand Nord en participant au programme Tundra Take-Back lancé en juillet 2014. Cette initiative, conçue pour retirer les véhicules en fin de vie (VFV) de l’Arctique canadien, était une priorité de l’assemblée générale et conférence (AG) du 1er mai. Caroline Sturk de Summerhill Impact a invité les membres de l’association à nettoyer le Nord, ce qui a conduit Sarah Brophy et Ed Wiersma à se rendre à Nunavut pour informer la communauté sur la dépollution. À l’AG, Mme Sturk a aussi évoqué le progrès des recycleurs de l’Alberta dans le programme ÉlimiMercure, une initiative national visant à éliminer le mercure toxique des interrupteurs des VFV. Parmi les autres sujets abordés à la conférence figuraient la certification CAREC, les problèmes des programmes d’approvisionnement de pièces et la vente des pièces de véhicules endommagés par l’eau.

L’année a été riche en changements pour l’Automotive Recyclers Association of Atlantic Canada (ARAAC), en raison notamment du passage de la torche des membres de longue date à la nouvelle génération. Au cours de l’assemblée générale d’octobre 2014, Dana Poehl de Poehl’s Auto Recyclers et Larry Drouin de One Stop Auto ont démissionné de leurs postes respectifs de trésorier et de secrétaire, et ont été remplacés par Shelley Roy de Blenkhorn Auto Recyclers et Heather Langille de Capital City Auto Parts. Le président de l’ARAAC, Dalbert Livingstone d’Island Auto Supply a souhaité la bienvenue aux nouveaux titulaires tout en remerciant Mme Pohl et M. Drouin pour leurs années de service. « Je suis très heureux des contributions futures de Heather et Shelley », a-t-il déclaré.

Il n’a lui-même été élu que l’année dernière, contribuant à l’afflux de sang neuf qui fera avancer l’ARAAC et sa mission.

B-CAR aussi a connu une année bien remplie.

En avril, ICBC a revu ses protocoles d’achat et a supprimé des politiques anciennes sur les ventes de récupération et les exigences de processus. Les acheteurs de pièces uniquement doivent toujours être licenciés et certifiés par le ministère de l’Environnement.

Cependant, le manque de contrôle et d’application devrait laisser aux recycleurs un meilleur accès au pièces de tiers. Avec l’aide de l’ARC, B-CAR produira une ébauche de document de présentation sur les retombées environnementales positives de l’industrie du démontage-recyclage en C.-B. Le but est de fournir aux législateurs du gouvernement des données vérifiées par un tiers pour qu’ils soutiennent les recommandations de l’association. B-CAR organisera l’assemblée générale de l’ARC en même temps que sa prore conférence d’été à Vancouver, les 24 et 25 avril. La conférence de l’ARC coïncide avec la convention de l’ISRI, qui se tiendra à Vancouver du 21 au 25 avril.

The Automotive Recyclers of Manitoba (ARM) has seen another productive year. The association welcomed a new member: Road Runners Auto of Fairford, Manitoba. ARM members also invested an additional $12,500 into The Winnipeg Foundation’s Motor Vehicle Industry of Manitoba Scholarship program. The program now gives away two $500 scholarships per year to selected students.

ARM association members expressed disappointment at Manitoba Public Insurance’s (MPI) decision to discontinue the use of recycled glass as part of the Physical Damage Re-engineering Program. After talks with MPI, the association is looking forward to working with the insurance company to reduce cycle times and promote the use of recycled parts as the most cost-effective alternative to purchasing newly manufactured OEM parts.

The Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association’s (OARA) 22nd year has been a busy one. The highlight of the year was working directly with the Ministry of Environment (MOE) to promote standards-based licensing for all businesses processing ELVs in Ontario.

The MOE Modernization Office’s Chris Goode travelled to Nashville to co-present with OARA at the ARA Convention on the positive aspects of working together. “It gave us a chance to showcase how we are taking a collaborative approach to developing new environmental standards and it was a great forum to talk to people from around the world about vehicle recycling and to learn from their experience,” says Goode.

“What we learned about the latest industry trends, best practices and technological advances at the conference will help inform any future regulations for the processing of ELVs in Ontario.”

Wrapping up its third year, The Saskatchewan Auto Recyclers Association (SARA) is still putting the focus on growth. This was a topic of discussion during the 2014 SARA annual meeting this past spring, along with the challenges the association faces working alongside non-members in the province who don’t have to comply with the same recycling standards. With existing members having passed all audits and deals with insurance companies in place, ensuring the continuance of proper practices, SARA President Jack Smith of Top Line Salvage is optimistic the association will continue to push through any growing pains. Smith is looking forward to what 2015 will bring and watching SARA progress as they work to expand their membership and make the industry a little bit greener. “We’ve just got to keep plugging away at it, and I’m sure we’ll succeed,” he says.

L’année a été productive pour l’Automotive Recyclers of Manitoba (ARM).

L’Association a accueilli un nouveau membre : Road Runners Auto, de Fairford au Manitoba. Les membres de l’ARM ont aussi investi 12 500 $ supplémentaires dans le programme Motor Vehicle Industr y of Manitoba Scholarship program de la fondation à Winnipeg. Ce programme attribue maintenant 500 $ de bourse à deux étudiants sélectionnés.

Les membres de l’ARM ont exprimé leur déception concernant la décision de la Manitoba Public Insurance d’arrêter l’utilisation du verre dans le cadre du Physical Damage Re-engineering Program. Après concertation auprès de MPI, l’association est impatiente de collaborer avec l’assureur pour raccourcir les temps de cycle et promouvoir l’utilisation de pièces recyclées en tant qu’alternative la plus rentable par rapport aux pièces neuves.

La 22e année de l’Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association’s (OARA) a été bien remplie. Le moment fort de l’année était le travail en relation directe avec le Ministère de l’Environnement et de l’Action en matière de changement climatique (MEAMCC) pour promouvoir la concession de licence fondée sur les normes pour tous les entreprises traitant des VFV en Ontario. M. Chris Goode, du bureau de la modernisation du MEAMCC est allé à Nashville à la convention de l’ARA pour présenter avec l’OARA les aspects positifs de la collaboration. « Cela nous a donné l’occasion de montrer notre approche collaborative en développement de nouvelles normes environnementales. C’était un très bon endroit pour parler aux gens du monde entier du recyclage des véhicules et pour apprendre de leur expérience, a expliqué M. Goode.

Ce que nous avons appris sur les dernières tendances de l’industrie, les meilleurs pratiques et les progrès technologique nous aidera à déterminer d’éventuels règlementations sur le traitement des VFV en Ontario. »

Pour sa troisième année, la Saskatchewan Auto Recyclers Association (SARA) se concentre encore sur la croissance.

C’était un des sujets de discussion à l’assemblée annuelle 2014 de la SARA au printemps dernier, l’autre étant les défis auxquels l’association fait face quand elle travaille avec des sociétés qui ne sont pas membres et ne sont pas tenues de respecter les mêmes normes de recyclage.

Le président Jack Smith, de Top Line Salvage est optimiste et pense que l’association continuera à surmonter les défis de la croissance. En effet, tous ses membres ont réussi les audits et des accords ont été passés avec les compagnies d’assurance pour continuer de suivre des pratiques correctes. M. Smith attend avec impatience de voir ce que 2015 lui réserve, de voir la SARA progresser, d’accueillir de nouveaux membres et de rendre le secteur un peu plus vert. « En continuant de travailler avec ardeur, je sais que nous réussirons, » a-t-il conclu.

here are those who measure up to standards, and there are those who help set them. As a business, Standard Auto Wreckers falls firmly into the second category.

David Gold is the co-owner of Standard Auto Wreckers with his father, Ken. The business operates locations in Toronto, Port Hope, Ottawa, and upstate New York. A passionate advocate for the industry, Gold has served on numerous committees and boards over the years. Currently, he is the Secretary of the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA), and will become President in 2017.

“I grew up in this industry and have watched it mature over the last two decades. I am so proud to be a part of this industry and I am truly lucky to now have the opportunity to help steer it into the future,” says Gold. “I am really proud to be in an industry that is so important to both the economy and the environment.”

Standard Auto Wreckers was founded by Ken in 1979. He left behind a successful career as a lawyer and purchased a large plot of land in the Rouge River valley, in the middle of a greenbelt. Today there are still operating farms within shouting distance of the facility. This also left Standard Auto Wreckers with no choice but to be progressive.

“Our mission has always been to protect our land and keep it from being polluted,” says Gold. “We have never removed engines outside and we are very particular about not making any piles of messy scrap parts.”

It was a strong start at a time when the concept of progressive, green automotive recycling was still essentially in its infancy, held aloft by a handful of torchbearers. It’s a truism that some people and organizations make a strong showing at first but can’t follow through. This isn’t true of the Golds and their business. Today the facility is still a leader in both customer service and environmental protection.

They were among the first to install new fluid evacuation technologies when they became available. These machines are vital in making sure all fluids are removed from the vehicle before they move to the next step of the recycling process. Installed in 2011, the machines from Crow Environmental consist of one high-volume standalone unit and four customized modules.

“We searched for years for the best solution,” says Gold. “You can’t put a price on protecting the environment. This system represented a substantial and worthwhile investment for us.”

Standard Auto Wreckers started with just three employees in 1979. Today the facility employs well over 100 people and processes in excess of 20,000 vehicles per year. Note that this is just for the headquarters location in Toronto. Add in the facilities in Port Hope, New York, and Ottawa, and it’s easy

l y a ceux qui suivent les normes et ceux qui les établissent. Standard Auto Wreckers fait clairement partie de la seconde catégorie.

David Gold est copropriétaire de Standard Auto Wreckers avec son

père Ken. La compagnie a quatre sites : à Toronto, Port Hope, Ottawa et dans nord-ouest de l’État de New-York. Gold est un porte-parole passionné de l’industrie et a siégé à de nombreux comités et conseils

d’administration. Il est actuellement secrétaire de l’Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) et en deviendra président en 2017. « J’ai grandi dans l’industrie et je l’ai vue mûrir au cours des 20 dernières années. Je suis très fier d’en faire partie et je suis vraiment chanceux de pouvoir contribuer à en choisir l’orientation à l’avenir, se réjouit Gold. Je suis vraiment fier de faire partie d’une industrie aussi importante pour l’économie et l’environnement. » Standard Auto Wreckers a été fondé par Ken Gold en 1979. Il a abandonné sa brillante carrière d’avocat pour acheter un grand terrain dans la vallée de Rouge River, au milieu d’une ceinture verte. Il y a encore aujourd’hui des fermes exploitées à portée de voix des installations. C’est une des raisons qui ont obligé Standard Auto Wreckers à être progressiste. « Notre mission a toujours été de protéger la terre et de la protéger de la pollution, explique Gold. Nous n’avons jamais démonté les moteurs dehors et nous sommes stricts sur un point : pas de piles de pièces en vrac. » C’était un début en force à une époque où le concept de recyclage progressiste et vert venait tout juste d’apparaître et n’était soutenu que par quelques précurseurs. C’est bien connu : certaines personnes et certaines entreprises font bonne impression au début mais n’arrivent rapidement plus à suivre. Ce n’est pas le cas de la famille Gold et de son entreprise. Ils sont meneurs en service à la clientèle et en protection environnementale.

Ils ont été parmi les premiers à installer des machines d’évacuation des fluides quand elles sont sorties. Elles sont essentielles pour être certain que tous les fluides ont été retirés avant de passer à l’étape suivante du recyclage. Installées en 2011, ces machines Crow Environmental consistent en une unité autonome à volume élevé et quatre modules personnalisés. « Nous avons passé des années à chercher la meilleure solution, explique Gold. La protection de l’environnement n’a pas de prix. Ce système représente un investissement important mais qui en vaut la peine. » Standard Auto Wreckers a commencé avec trois employés seulement en 1979. Aujourd’hui, l’installation emploie bien plus de 100 personnes et traite plus de 20 000 véhicules par jour, rien qu’à Toronto. En comptant les installations de Port Hope, New York et Ottawa, on se rend compte que Standard Auto Wreckers est un gros recycleur. Être capable de développer ses affaires

PROFILES OF SUCCESS l PROFILS DE SUCCÈS

to see that Standard Auto Wreckers is an auto recycling powerhouse. That the business manages to do this while still succeeding at core values of environmental protection and customer service is doubly impressive.

Gold says there are essentially three reasons for the success of the business. The first is a deep commitment to those environmental values. The second is a dedication to building strong teams.

“We literally couldn’t do anything without the backing of our staff,” says Gold. “They buy into everything we try to do here, from customer service to making sure we practice the very best environmental policies.”

It pays off. Team members are usually proud to work at Standard Auto Wreckers and uphold high standards. This pride leads them to contribute to the third reason for the facility’s success: forging deep connections with core customers.

These include automotive service professionals, racing and hobby enthusiasts, – David Gold and members of the collision repair industry. Since 2007, Gold has authored a popular column on auto recycling for Collision Repair magazine, the Canadian industry’s leading publication.

“One of the biggest challenges progressive recyclers have seen is simply communicating our real value to members of the repair industries and the driving public,” says Gold. “It’s a challenge because we have to first get past the stigma before we can really start talking.”

While Standard Auto Wreckers may be located in farmland, make no mistake: this is a fully modern facility, and it’s located in Toronto, one of the most cosmopolitan and diverse cities in the world. Staff can proudly serve customers in almost a dozen different languages.

“We made a decision 12 years ago to try to reflect more of the cultures in our community,” says Gold. “We had customers coming speaking Cantonese, Arabic, Punjabi, Mandarin and the list goes on. Our regular crew at the time didn’t speak those languages. We went on a bit of a hiring blitz and hired three guys who were used to the car world, and also multi-lingual.”

There are staff at the facility who are fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, Sindhi, Tamil, Urdu, Sinhala, and Arabic. English and French go without saying.

The team at Standard Auto Wreckers are justifiably proud of their ability to offer this extremely high-level of customer service. Pride is a big driver for current improvements “All management in the company are in charge of setting their own goals, while sticking to the budget and to the principles that guide us,” says Gold.

“It was an idea that passed the best test: it works. They’re thinking outside the box and coming up with more ideas than ever on how to grow the business and provide the very best products and customer service.”

“I grew up in this industry and have watched it mature over the last two decades. I am so proud to be a part of this industry and I am truly lucky to now have the opportunity to help steer it into the future.”

de cette façon est impressionnant, mais le faire en suivant de telles valeurs écologiques et de service à la clientèle l’est encore plus.

D’après Gold, trois raisons essentielles expliquent le succès de sa compagnie. La première est l’engagement complet envers ces valeurs environnementales. La seconde est la composition d’équipes solides. « Nous ne pourrions vraiment rien faire sans l’appui de notre personnel, explique Gold. Ils soutiennent toutes nos initiatives, du service à la clientèle à l’adhérence aux meilleures pratiques environnementales. » Et

sont là. Les membres d’équipe sont fiers de travailler pour Standard Auto Wreckers et soutiennent ses normes élevées. Cette fierté contribue au troisième élément du succès de l’entreprise : des rapports étroits avec ses clients.

Parmi ceux-ci, on compte des professionnels du service automobile, des amateurs de course et d’autos, et des travailleurs de l’industrie de réparation de collision.

Depuis 2007, Gold rédi-

ge une rubrique populaire sur le recyclage automobile dans le magazine Collision Repair, la publication leader de cette industrie. « Un des plus gros défis des recycleurs progressistes est simplement de faire comprendre notre valeur aux professionnels du secteur de la réparation et du public, explique Gold. C’est un défi parce que nous devons passer au-delà de la stigmatisation avant de pouvoir vraiment discuter. » Standard Auto Wreckers est situé en terres agricoles, mais ne vous y trompez pas : c’est un site moderne situé dans la ville de Toronto, une des plus cosmopolites et diverses du monde. Le personnel est fier de servir les clients dans presque douze langues. « Nous avons décidé il y a 12 ans d’être plus représentatifs des cultures de la communauté, nous dit Gold. Nous avons des clients qui parlent cantonais, arabe, pendjabi, mandarin et d’autres langues encore. À l’époque, notre équipe ne parlait pas toutes ces langues. Nous avons fait une grosse campagne d’embauche et nous avons embauché des personnes du monde de l’auto qui sont aussi bilingues.

Il y a ici des employés qui parlent couramment le cantonais, le mandarin, l’urdu, l’hindi, le pendjabi, le sindhi, le tamil, l’ourdou, le singhalais et l’arabe ...

Et l’anglais et le français, bien entendu.

L’équipe de Standard Auto Wreckers est fière (et elle le mérite) d’offrir un tel niveau de service à la clientèle. La fierté motive en grande partie les améliorations actuelles. « Tous les gestionnaires doivent se fixer leurs propres objectifs en respectant le budget et les principes qui nous guident, explique Gold. Il a été prouvé sur le terrain que cette idée fonctionne. Ils pensent différemment et ont plus d’idées que jamais sur la façon de développer les affaires et d’offrir les meilleurs produits et le meilleur service à la clientèle. »

n any industry, there are always those who stand out from the rest. They may not bother to talk the talk, but they definitely walk the walk. They stand up when it counts, and they’re not afraid to take a stand.

Some of the leading lights of the automotive recycling industry are profiled in the following pages. Some are there because they’ve introduced new methods of getting customers the parts they need better, faster, and cheaper. Some are there because they work tirelessly to improve the image of their industry. Some are there because they’ve grown a small operation into a large one and discovered new efficiencies. They are included in this section for many different reasons, but they all share one attribute in common: they go the extra mile.

Don Fraser is committed to helping create a greener future.

Melissa Hayes

AADCO Auto Parts was one of the participants for the Tire Take Back Days.

“We feel our environmental responsibilities are critical to what we do,” he says. “I think that being conscious about our processes are what marks the professionalism of today’s auto recyclers as both an environmental champion and a source for quality parts.”

A proud member of OARA, Fraser stands by the organization’s credo of: “Good for the earth. Good for the wallet. Good for your vehicle,” because the chief mission is to not just raise auto recycling standards, he says, but to also help create a cleaner future.

“I believe in the legacy we’re trying to leave,” he says. “I have grandkids who are going to live in the world we leave behind, and we want them to proud of the work we did and the kind of world we left them.”

AADCO AUTO PARTS

Don Fraser has spent the bulk of his career—the first two decades of which were spent on the collision repair side of the business—focused on quality service. Since opening AADCO Auto Parts in 1999, that commitment to his customers hasn’t wavered in the slightest.

“What’s most important in this business are first, the customers, and the inventory you carry,” Fraser says.

Housed within AADCO’s 87,000 sq. ft. warehouse, Fraser believes in ensuring customers receive no surprises when they order a part from him. He stands by his company’s assurance of quality, with every part thoroughly inspected by a dismantler prior to a sale, which shows in his business’ prosperity in 2014.

“Each one of our parts are quality-tested to make sure that a high-quality product is the only one that ever reaches our customers,” he says, noting their inventory includes almost any OEM part you could need.

As an industry leader, Fraser is always looking to improve his company’s process and customer service. The same can be said for their strong belief in environmental stewardship, which he believes are the two pillars that define AADCO Auto Parts.

Numbers Rule

Allwest Auto Parts focuses on the bottom line, and passes savings on to you.

Mike Davey The team at Allwest Auto Parts has always prided themselves on efficiency and customer service. It seems as if the automotive recycler, located in Edmonton, Alberta, has seen investments and changes designed to better the customer experience every single year. Some recent examples include a new SEDA depollution rig installed two years ago, allowing the operation to more efficiently recycle vehicles while maintaining environmental safeguards, and a brand new racking system designed and installed last year that helps to store parts and keep them free from additional damage.

This year is no exception, but the big changes aren’t new equipment. Instead, these changes affect ever y part of the business.

Steven Cox is the General Manager of Allwest Auto Parts.

Together with the facility’s owners, Ed and June Wiersma, Cox determined that this year they would focus on the numbers underlying the business.

“We’ve really focused on profits, from the perspective taking our existing numbers and making them better,” says Cox. “It’s not how much you sell, it’s how much you make.”

Steve Cox, General Manager of Allwest Auto Parts.

Cox makes it clear that this profit focused approach is the exact opposite of cutting corners. In fact, it’s more about increasing service to the customer than anything else.

“To be blunt, if it’s not profitable, we don’t bother. That frees us up to spend the time with the customers who really need us,” says Cox. “We’re here for the people who are ready to do business.”

This brings benefits directly to the customer, in the form of helping to ensure an inventory of late-model parts is on hand when they’re needed.

“I wrote an algorithm to determine if we should bid on a particular salvage vehicle. We’ve purchased fewer vehicles, but we’re twice as profitable,” says Cox. “Only bidding on the vehicles we know we can use means our customers have greater access to the parts they need.”

Now in its third year, Alan adds that their yard management program has also been a big benefit, shifting them into a more digital-based era.

“We didn’t have those capabilities before. It really helps with our communications,” he says, adding most of their business comes from insurance companies and fellow auto recyclers.

Alan says he and Alvan also owe their success to their dedicated staff, many of which have been with the company for over 30 years. In the coming decades, he believes their team will fulfill their expectations for continued growth, leading to the owners’ sons—Matt and Nick—taking the business over and continuing the family’s legacy in the future.

From the time Henry Aumont and his wife, Norah, first opened Arnprior Ottawa Auto Parts in 1967, two things have been synonymous with the company: growth and family. Since their sons Alan and Alvan took the business over, that hasn’t changed.

“We had a nice increase in business in 2014 and achieved our goals, and we hope for a repeat in 2015,” Alan says, looking back at the past year.

The co-owner notes that one thing that’s helped their forwardmovement is their expanding network of recyclers, accounting for 30 percent of Arnprior’s business. Coming into 2014, it was their goal to expand their relationships with quality, independent recyclers across Ontario.

“It’s really important to us to grow our network,” he says.

“We have a dedicated truck that moves parts between the yards we deal with, so they arrive damage-free. That’s a key part to completing sales.”

With a business that processes around 1,500 vehicles annually, and historically as many as 2,000, Alan says catering to their market ensures Arnprior doesn’t get caught up in over-purchasing automobiles, something he says is easy to fall into.

Big Move

Bodyline Auto Recyclers’ new facility provides more than ever before.

Mike Davey Bodyline Auto Recyclers has always been extremely efficient. Until recently, the business had operated on just 3.5 acres in Hamilton, Ontario. However, a recent move to a new location has essentially doubled the size of the recycling operation.

“The yard is about the same size, but the new building is much, much bigger,” says Dave McDonald, owner of Bodyline Auto Recyclers. “This has allowed us to move a lot of our disassembly indoors, and we’ve got much more room to store parts.”

That’s important, McDonald notes, as a wider variety of parts gives customers more options and more opportunities to let Bodyline Auto Recyclers fill their needs. The new facility is just a short distance from the old, preserving Bodyline’s proximity both to regular customers and to transportation links.

“We’ve seen a lot of changes over the years, but we haven’t changed our core values. High-quality parts and great customer service don’t go out of style,” says McDonald. “For our customers, the main effect of the new location is that we can offer them higher levels of both.”

Bodyline Auto Recyclers excels in environmental safeguards, high-tech equipment, and the new building offers plenty of clean and dry space to store parts ready for sale. Impressive as those qualifications are, McDonald says they’re not the company’s greatest strengths.

“Our biggest asset has always been people, both our outstanding staff and our customers,” says McDonald. “From day one, we’ve always had a ‘no-hassle’ guarantee. If you’re not satisfied, we’ll work with you until you are.”

It’s a strategy that builds loyal, satisfied customers. A dedication to quality and teamwork also builds strong staff members.

“Things come and go in life, but when you’re working with good people you can come a long way,” says McDonald. “With everyone covering each other’s back, you can do a lot.

Boston Auto Wreckers’ dares to be different with a focus on exotic vehicles.

we can help provide them with OE recycled parts that will help them keep those vehicles in top shape, or return them to preaccident condition in the case of a collision.”

The vehicles Boston Auto Wreckers specializes in are rarer than average, so the steps taken to preserve and protect them are above average as well.

“We go beyond to make sure no damage comes to the European and exotic automobiles that we buy,” says Maio. Space is tight at Boston Auto Wreckers, as land in downtown Toronto is at a premium. Why take the extra care, when more traditional techniques would save some space?

“It’s not just about cars or parts,” says Maio. “It’s about the passion we share with our customers. I always loved what we did, but now, frankly, I love it a lot more.”

BOSTON AUTO WRECKERS

Mike Maio made a crucial decision last year, and he hasn’t looked back since. Maio is the owner of Boston Auto Wreckers in Toronto, Ontario. The facility also operates online as Monster Auto Wreckers. He shifted the business to focus on exotic, high-end, and European vehicles, with a particular emphasis on hard to find parts.

It was move driven by recognizing an empty space in the market, and by a passion for fine automobiles.

“When you do something with passion, it completely changes the dynamic of what you’re doing,” says Maio. “We concentrate on European vehicles and hard to find exotics. We look outside of the mainstream and traditional to source Green Recycled Parts for Volvos, Jaugars, Lambos, Porsches and other vehicles.”

Sourcing a recycled part for certain cars can be a challenge, but Boston Auto Wreckers is helping to fill that void. It’s an approach guaranteed to win over customers who share Maio’s passion for these automobiles.

“Word is getting out to the professional community, and to motorists who really value fine automobiles,” he says. “Our customers who work on these high-end vehicles are often passionate about them too. They tend to treat them like their own, and

Future Sighted

Carcone’s Auto Recycling embraces change to stay a step ahead.

Mike Davey The auto recycling industry has seen its share of changes over the years, which is why when Michael Carcone– co-owner of Carcone’s Auto Recycling, alongside his Father, Tony—is asked how their Aurora, Ontario-based business has evolved, his answer isn’t a surprising one.

“What’s changed? Shoot, there’s not much that hasn’t changed,” says Carcone. “From consolidation, to the implementation of parts procurement systems, every area of our business has seen big changes.”

Carcone points out that a lot of what was once person-toperson is now essentially a software transaction. Inventories are uploaded nightly to the systems Carcone’s Auto Recycling partners with, the shop uploads its estimates, and chooses parts from the recycler of its choice.

“The personal contact is just not what it used to be,” says Carcone. “It’s not a disadvantage . . . it’s something you have to get adjusted and accustomed to. There’s always an adjustment when something new comes along. It’s how you change and adapt that will make the difference.”

Part of the shift at Carcone’s Auto Recycling is the diversifi-

cation into other product lines. The facility is well known for its wheel refinishing business, and they carry other lines as well, such as OE surplus.

“We’re constantly looking for the next avenue. This isn’t so much about competition, but about always moving our business forward,” says Carcone.

There have certainly been major changes, enough to make you sympathize with Carcone’s first question: what hasn’t changed?

“The one thing that hasn’t changed is a commitment, the passion, and the devotion to quality,” says Carcone. “You can try to grow and expand, but if you can’t offer a part on time, as promised, at the quality you described, you just won’t do well.

At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about.”

This is a challenge not just for professional recyclers and their customers in the repair field, but for the entire planet.

Salvage vehicles shipped out of the country may be put back on the road, even though they are unsafe.

“It’s not all about the bottom line,” he says. “It should be about great OEM recycled parts, even better service, and protecting the environment. That’s what we do best, and having access to the best salvage and the right inventory helps us to support our customers in what they do best: fixing vehicles.”

DOM’S AUTO PARTS

Since 1964 Dom’s Auto Parts in Courtice, Ontario has been leading the industry in service, quality, and environmental standards. Auto recycling is a family passion. The business was started by the original Dom, grandfather of the current owner, Dominic Vetere, and his Dominic’s father Mickey continued the legacy. However, tragedy struck in 2014, when Mickey Vetere passed away.

“I would like to thank all of you across the industry for the kind and wonderful condolences I received over the last year for my father,” says Dom. “I know he would be happy to see us carrying on.”

Change is an inherent part of the recycling business, and Dom says this year has been no different, with new challenges surfacing regularly.

“Increased demands from the insurance industry on repairers and suppliers make every day a new adventure for all of us,” he says. “With ever increasing severity rates and even higher salvage returns, the term ‘total loss’ is used far too often.”

Dom also points out that salvage prices are at an all-time high, with salvage being sold to the highest bidder, seeming-

Hilltop Auto Wreckers has put customers first for 45 years.

Mike Davey Hilltop Auto Wreckers is family-owned and operated, and has been since its inception in 1968 when it was founded by the father and uncle of the current owners, Ron and Rob Mollicone.

Since taking over the business, the Ron and Rob have opened a second recycling facility in Newmarket for “U-Pull,” while the original location served as a full service auto recycler. Both sides of the business came together again when the business moved to its current location in Cedar Valley.

“The Richmond Hill location was in what is now a high residential area,” says Ron. “The move allowed us to move forward and grow. Richmond Hill was just 2.5 acres, compared to 20 acres at Cedar Valley. We’re using six acres for our UPick business of about 600 cars, and the full serve side takes up about four acres.”

A location on a main road (Davis Dr./Hwy #9), and in an industrial setting, means less effort spent battling for space and permits, and an even greater focus on the needs of customers.

Above all, staff work to ensure customers are content, and always coming back for their recycled parts needs.

“We love what we do and we do it for our customers,” says

Hilltop Auto Recyclers has a wide selection of ready-to-go parts as well as a U-Pull option.

Ron. “Our company and staff are always looking for ways to keep our customers coming back, and we do that by offering quality parts and service, giving our customers peace of mind.”

Hilltop has stayed ahead of the curve as technology has evolved, adapting successfully to changes in the business to serve repairers, while adhering to the most stringent environmental principles and guidelines. The Mollicones are proud of what their family and staff members have built, while promoting the highest auto recycling standards to industry stakeholders, educating them about the many viable environmental alternatives available to them.

“Recycling vehicles every day with the environment in mind is greatly satisfying,” says Ron. “It’s a great feeling to help a great cause—the environment—for your future and for ours.”

ISLAND AUTO SUPPLY

Island Auto Supply has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a small backyard operation nearly half a century ago.

The automotive recycling facility that now sits on 57 acres of land in Charlottetown, P.E.I. has blossomed for almost 50 years, and the legacy continued when owner and founder Harvey Livingstone passed the torch to his grandson, Dalbert, and his wife, Tabitha, in 2013.

Since then, the co-owners have introduced a number of changes while maintaining the same focus on quality.

“It’s of the utmost importance to be on the top of your game when it comes to service,” says Dalbert, adding that the centre can count itself among the best in the business with their recent Gold Seal approval.

Dalbert says they have seen ongoing success with last year’s product line expansion and the introduction of one year-extended warranties on parts.

Also building on the fruits of past implementations is their delivery service offered to professional customers.

“We initially started with a charge, but we’re now offering free delivery all over Charlottetown,” he says. “The truck leaves twice a day, and delivers right to their door, so our professional cus-

The co-owners have continued their grandfather’s legacy, with the number of processed vehicles per year seeing a jump since 2011, rising from 1500 to 2500—an annual figure they’ve since maintained.

For Jeff, in part, their longstanding success lies in their commitment to serving the community around them.

“We strive to give back, we’re sponsoring kids through the business, including Compassion Canada which benefits kids all around the world, we’re also involved in Tire Take Back Days which aids the Sunshine Foundation and we take part in Show Kids You Care, which feeds kids in need” he says, also adding their ongoing partnership with Teen Challenge to the list.

Looking ahead, Jeff says he and his brother hope to pass the business onto a fourth generation, as has been tradition since their grandfather built the yard from the ground up.

“I have five kids, my older sons have already been involved,” he says, “Who knows, my daughters may even want to step in at some point. I know Tim wants to pass the torch down the line too. We really want to keep this going.”

New Hope

Standard Auto Wreckers is centralizing its late-model parts in a new facility.

Mike Davey It’s been an exciting year for Standard Auto Wreckers.

In addition to the company’s already existing facilities in Toronto, Ottawa, and Niagara Falls, New York, Standard Auto Wreckers has officially opened its facility in Port Hope, Ontario.

Co-owner David Gold says it will serve as a dismantling and distribution hub, concentrating solely on late-model parts.

“The Port Hope facility doesn’t have a scale, and we won’t be running a scrap operation from there,” says Gold. “It’s only about providing late-model parts for the professional customer.”

The new facility is well situated for central transportation.

Located approximately three hours from both the Ottawa and Niagara Falls facilities, Port Hope will also provide a broad reach and the ability to work more closely with other recyclers.

“We’ve already moved our transportation and road runner systems,” says Gold. “All of our delivery trucks are coming from Port Hope, and our buying team has moved there as well. There’s about 50 people working there now. It’s a major operation.”

The new facility will certainly be a positive one for Standard Auto Wreckers and its customers. In fact, Gold says they plan to increase production by as much as 50 percent in 2015.

Standard Auto Wreckers new location in Port Hope, Ontario.

However, it’s also a positive for the community of Port Hope.

“The city is enthusiastic about job creation and growth in an area that needs it,” says Gold. “It’s rare to get that kind of support, but they know we’re hiring local people and bringing business to the city.”

Port Hope supports the venture, and has even rented some office space from Standard Auto Wreckers.

“The municipality leases office space from us for the Idea Hub. It’s a sort of small business incubator,” says Gold. “It’s a really good relationship. They help us with certain education programs, and we get access to continual improvement and business practices from local colleges, while they get access to a growing business.”

It looks like the new facility is primed to be a winner for the city, the company, and its professional customers.

Taking Back the Tundra

Nettoyer la Tundra BY/PAR MELISSA HAYES

Canadian auto recyclers and partners are working to clean up the Arctic, one community at a time.

Des recycleurs et des partenaires canadiens travaillent à nettoyer l’Arctique, une communauté à la fois.

C

anada’s auto recyclers hit a milestone in their conservation efforts in 2014 as industry partners banded together to clean up the Arctic and help Nunavut’s Arviat and Gjoa Haven communities establish sustainable models for dealing with hazardous vehicle waste.

Unlike urban and rural areas, Arctic communities face significant challenges with effective vehicle recycling, but this past year’s Tundra Take-Back effort has demonstrated there is no shortage of regional support in finding a solution.

Summerhill Impact, a not-for-profit organization focused on creating and delivering environmental initiatives, teamed with the Auto Recyclers of Canada (ARC) and numerous other organizations to help bring the Tundra TakeBack project to fruition.

Designed to de-pollute and recycle end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) and other metal-based waste in Canada’s North, the initiative launched in July 2014, tackling accumulated ELVs that have occupied space within community dumpsites, omitting harmful pollutants. Left unmanaged, the toxins are released into the land and water, affecting human health and the fragile Arctic ecosystem.

In the past, ELVs in the north were rarely recycled due to the complicated, costly processing involved with de-polluting, dismantling and shipping. The auto recycling community has aimed to change that.

n 2014, les recycleurs auto du Canada ont atteint un jalon dans leur effort de conservation, grâce à des partenariats pour nettoyer l’Arctique et aider les communautés d’Arviat et Gjoa Haven à établir des modèles durables de gestion des déchets automobiles dangereux.

Contrairement aux communautés des zones urbaines et ru-

rales, celles de l’Arctique font face à des défis de taille pour le recyclage des véhicules. Malgré cela, l’années passée, l’effort Tundra Take-Back a prouvé qu’il ne manquait pas de soutien régional pour trouver une solution.

Summer hill Impact, un organisme sans but lucratif qui crée et met en œuvre des initiatives environnementales, s’est joint à Auto Recyclers of Canada (ARC) et à d’autres organisations pour mener à bien le projet Tundra Take-Back.

Cette initiative lancée en juillet 2014 a pour but de dépolluer et de recycler les véhicules en fin de vie (VFV) et les autres déchets à base de métal dans le Grand Nord Canadien. Elle s’attaque aux VFV des décharges des communautés, dans lesquels les polluants nocifs n’ont pas été traités. Quand elles ne sont pas gérées, ces toxines sont relâchées dans l’air et l’eau, causant des problèmes de santé et détériorant l’écosystème arctique.

Par le passé, les VFV du Nord étaient rarement recyclés en raison des traitements compliqués et coûteux liés à la dépollution, au démontage et au transport. La communauté du recyclage auto a décidé de changer ça.

Summerhill Impact’s Jennifer Court and Janet Taylor, Steve Fletcher of ARC and Bob Downey from Gerdau Ameristeel travelled to the community of Arviat, Nunavut in early July. Fletcher recalls the success of their initial trip where they met with local officials face-to-face to gain a better understanding of what they wanted to accomplish, and to strengthen community engagement for the project. Upon arrival they physically examined the dump area, only to find once the snow had melted, that more vehicles were concealed underneath than they had anticipated.

“It’s an evolving project,” says Fletcher. “Looking at it, I thought ‘part of this will be more complex than we ever thought,’ but a lot of people came forward and said they were committed to helping.”

Summerhill’s Taylor set up and ran another recycling program in Nunavut’s Gjoa Haven. She says the Tundra Take-Back program has generated a positive reaction in the community.

“We made an announcement, translated into Inuktitut, about the program and why we were there,” says Taylor. “What was really interesting to me was that, despite being a very busy room, everyone went quiet. There were actual cheers when the announcement was finished.”

Fletcher se rappelle du succès de leur premier voyage au cours duquel ils ont rencontré les dirigeants des communautés pour se faire une meilleure idée de ce qu’ils voulaient accomplir et pour encourager l’implication de la communauté. À leur arrivée, ils ont inspecté la décharge et se sont rendu compte une fois la neige fondue que cette dernière couvrait beaucoup plus de véhicules qu’ils ne pensaient. « C’est un projet en évolution, explique M. Fletcher. En voyant ça, je me suis dit que ça allait être beaucoup plus compliqué qu’on ne l’avait jamais cru, mais plein de gens se sont présentés et ont dit qu’ils voulaient aider. » Mme Taylor de Summerhill a établi et géré un autre projet de recyclage à Gjoa Haven, Nunavut. Elle dit que la réaction de la communauté au programme Tundra Take-Back a été très positive. « Nous avons fait une annonce, traduite en inuktitut, sur le programme et la raison de notre présence, explique-t-elle. Ce que j’ai trouvé très intéressant, c’est que bien que la salle était grande, il n’y avait plus un bruit. À la fin de l’annonce, on nous a acclamé. » Depuis le lancement de ce projet, plusieurs recycleurs auto progressistes se sont beaucoup impliqués.

NORTHERN INITIATIVE l INITIATIVE NORD

Brophy of Lake City Services in Sylvan Lake, and Claudio Russo of Carcone’s Auto Recycling in Toronto—have been present at both sites over the last several months, accompanied by Summerhill’s Court.

Together, training sessions were arranged and equipment was located, while Wiersma and Russo—both of whom are experienced dismantlers— taught in the classroom and served as guides for the practical task of disassembling vehicles in a safe and ecologically responsible manner.

“We gave four local Inuit people, younger guys, classroom training on how to de-pollute vehicles,” says Wiersma.

After the theory was taken care of, the real work began.

“We went to the site, and started looking at where to start,” says Wiersma.

“We had to clean up an area so we made a pad and put up stands to de-pollute the vehicles.”

But the scrap pile at Arviat doesn’t consist solely of vehicles. The team had to spend a lot of time digging cars and trucks out before they could begin working.

“We started going through everything,” says Wiersma. “With tires and batteries, we would dig them out of the scrap and bring them to the roadside for pick up. When it comes to the vehicles, it’s mostly trucks. We dug them out, showed the guys where the fluids were located, how to locate and get rid of the mercury switches, and so forth. It’s not just about recycling the vehicles.

It’s about establishing a process.”

Sarah Brophy visited the community of Gjoa Haven, with the same goal: train local people in proper de-pollution and help get the process underway.

“I think it was a success,” says Brophy. “It was windy and cold, but the hamlet had a crew assembled, and the site was set up and ready for us. We spent the morning of the first day on classroom training, and the afternoon working on a practice vehicle.”

The team hit the field the next day, de-polluting vehicles at the scrap pile outside of Gjoa Haven.

The Tundra Take-Back pilot project in Nunavut is creating a communityled model for ongoing waste management. The materials removed were set to go south ahead of the winter freeze, before reaching their final destination in Quebec. Once there, the de-polluted metal was recycled and secondary items and pollutants were dealt with properly.

To date, the initiative’s partners have included Arctic Co-operatives Limited, Automotive Recyclers of Canada, Automotive Recyclers Association, Calm Air, Canadian North, Gerdau, Environment Canada, Eskimo Point Lumber, Inns North, Hamlet of Arviat, Hamlet of Gjoa Haven, Nunavut Sealink and Supply, Padlei Co-operative, and Qikiqtaq Co-operative, the government of Nunavut and Tonolli Battery.

The pilot project focused on the communities of Arviat and Gjoa Haven, with plans to expand to other remote areas in the future.

Prior to Tundra Take-Back, vehicle disposal in Canada’s North consisted of dumping the vehicle at a site like this one, located near Arviat.

de Lake City Services à Sylvan Lake et Claudio Russo de Carcone’s Auto Recycling à Toronto, sont présents depuis plusieurs mois sur les deux sites, accompagnés de Mme Court.

Ensemble, ils ont organisé des formations et ont trouvé de l’équipement.

MM. Wiersma et Russo, tous deux démonteurs expérimentés, ont donné une formation en classe et ont concrètement montré comment démonter un véhicule de façon sécuritaire et écologique. « Nous avons donné une formation en classe à quatre jeunes Inuits sur la dépollution des véhicules, » explique M. Wiersma.

Après la théorie, le vrai travail a commencé. « Nous sommes allés sur le site pour voir par où commencer, décrit M. Wiersma. Nous avons dû nettoyer une zone pour y installer des supports afin de dépolluer les véhicules. » Mais il n’y avait pas que des voitures dans le tas de déchets d’Arviat. L’équipe a dû passer beaucoup de temps à dégager les voitures et les camions avant de commencer le travail. « Nous avons commencé par tout passer en revue, expliquer M. Wiersma.

On déterrait les pneus et les batteries et on allait les poser au bord de la route pour qu’ils soient ramassés. Les véhicules étaient principalement des camionnettes. On les a déterrés, j’ai montré aux gars où étaient situés les fluides, comment récupérer les interrupteurs à mercure, etc. On ne recycle pas simplement des véhicules, on établit un processus. » Sarah Brophy s’est rendue à Gjoa Haven dans le même but : former des locaux à la dépollution correcte et les aider à démarrer le processus. « Je pense que ç’a été un succès, estime Mme Brophy. Le temps était venteux et froid, mais le hameau avait mis sur pied une équipe, et le site était prêt.

Nous avons passé la matinée du premier jour en classe et l’après-midi, nous avons travaillé sur un véhicule d’essai. » Le jour suivant, sur le terrain, l’équipe dépolluait les véhicules à la décharge en périphérie de Gjoa Haven.

Le projet pilote Tundra Take-Back à Nunavut crée un modèle communautaire de gestion continue des déchets. Les matières retirées ont été envoyés vers le sud avant l’arrivée du gel avant d’atteindre leur destination finale, Québec. Une fois là-bas, les métaux dépollués ont été recyclés, et les articles secondaires et les polluants ont été éliminés correctement. À ce jour, les partenaires suivants ont participé : Arctic Co-operatives Limited, Automotive Recyclers of Canada, Automotive Recyclers Association, Calm Air, Canadian North, Gerdeau, Environment Canada, Eskimo Point Lumber, Inns North, le hameau d’Arviat, le hameau de Gjoa Haven, Nunavut Sealink and Supply, Padlei Co-operative, Qikiqtaq Co-operative, le gouvernement de Nunavut et Tonolli Battery.

Il est prévu d’étendre ces projets pilote à d’autres communautés isolées.

ld tires are unsightly and pose serious risks for both human health and the environment. For the last several years, Ontario Tire Stewardship (OTS) has worked in conjunction with the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA) to ensure that old tires are collected and disposed of properly.

The collected tires are then recycled and turned into a number of different consumer products. It’s a winning solution that cleans up communities and provides industry with raw materials. In addition, the annual Tire Take Back event helps to raise money for the Sunshine Foundation of Canada.

“I’ve been involved with the Sunshine Foundation for years beyond being a member of OARA and I see tremendous value in what we do to help these families,” says 400 Auto Wreckers owner Tom Huehn. “And it’s a great thing to support. The nuts and bolts of our business would drive you crazy if we didn’t have programs like this to keep us grounded.”

Tire Take Back 2014 kicked off on May 26 and ran until May 31. More than 60 OARA members participated, with each willing to accept any number of

es pneus usagés ne sont pas beaux à voir et posent de sérieux risques pour la santé et pour l’environnement. L’Ontario Tire Stewardship (OTS) collabore depuis plusieurs années avec l’Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association (OARA) pour une collecte et une élimination correcte des pneus usagés.

Les pneus récupérés sont recyclés et transformés pour deve-

nir de nouveaux produits de consommation. C’est une solution gagnante : les communautés sont nettoyées et l’industrie récupère de nouvelles matières premières. En outre, l’événement annuel Tire Take Back aide à lever des fonds pour la fondation Rayons de soleil du Canada. « En plus d’être membre de l’OARA, cela fait un grand nombre d’années que je suis impliqué dans la fondation Rayons de soleil, et nous aidons vraiment ces familles, nous explique Tom Huehn de 400 Auto Wreckers. C’est une très bonne cause. Les détails de notre métier nous rendraient fous s’il n’y avait pas ce genre de programmes pour nous aider à continuer. » L’édition 2014 s’est déroulée du 26 au 31 mai. Plus de 60 membres de l’OARA ont participé cette année. Ils ont accepté dans leurs installations de tout

used car, light truck, or farm tires for free from Ontario residents at any one of 60 OARA member locations across the province.

For each tire collected, OARA and its participating members. along with several registered OTS haulers, made a monetary donation to the Sunshine Foundation of Canada, an organization that works to make the dreams of children suffering from severe disabilities or life-threatening illnesses come true. Since the effort’s conception in 2010, OARA members have raised over $700,000 to support the foundation.

There’s also a big benefit for communities that show very strong participation. The city or town that donates the highest number of tires to the program wins $15,000 worth of recycled tire products to make eco-friendly upgrades to community buildings and spaces.

This year, A&L Auto Recyclers in Comber, Ontario collected more than 13,000 used tires, receiving the prize for highest number of tires collected out of all participating OARA member locations. As a result, A&L has chosen to partner with the Town of Lakeshore to revitalize a community space with $15,000 in donated sustainable recycled tire products.

“You’re keeping the environment clean as well as helping a great cause, and with the $15,000 prize we can improve our community too,” says Jeff Lanoue, co-owner of A&L Auto Recyclers.

Sean De Muynck is the Operations Manager at A&L Auto Recyclers.

He says the impacts are apparent, both in how the lives of the Sunshine Foundation’s children are enhanced and in the declining numbers of tires taken in simply due to the fact Tire Take Back has been so successful in

l’Ontario tous les pneus usagés de voiture, de véhicules utilitaires légers et de machines agricoles apportés par les résidents de la province.

Pour chaque pneu récupéré, l’OARA et ses membres participants, ainsi que plusieurs transporteurs enregistrés de l’OTS, ont fait un don en argent à la fondation Rayons de soleil du Canada, un organisme qui réalise les rêves d’enfants souffrant de lourds handicaps ou de maladies potentiellement mortelles. Depuis le début de cette initiative, en 2010, les membres de l’OARA ont levé 700 000 $ pour soutenir la fondation.

Ceux qui participent le plus sont récompensés. La ville ou le village ayant donné le plus de pneus gagne 15 000 $ en produits de pneus recyclés pour des rénovations écologiques de bâtiments ou d’espaces communautaires.

Cette année, A&L Auto Recyclers de Comber, Ontario, a reçu le prix du plus grand nombre de pneus usagés, soit 13 000. A&L, en partenariat avec la ville de Lakeshore, a choisi de revitaliser un espace communautaire en faisant don de 15 000 $ en produits recyclés durables à base de pneus. « On conserve un environnement propre, on contribue à une belle cause et, si on est chanceux, on reçoit le prix de 15 000 $ pour apporter notre contribution à la communauté, » explique Jeff Lanoue, copropriétaire d’A&L Auto Recyclers.

Sean De Muynck est directeur des opérations de la compagnie. Pour lui, l’impact est apparent dans l’amélioration de la qualité de vie des enfants de la fondation Rayons de soleil et dans le nombre de pneus acceptés en déclin. L’initiative Tire Take Back est une réussite. Elle a encouragé les Ontariens à faire don de leurs pneus usés.

encouraging Ontarians to donate their unused tires.

“Before this year’s event, OTS had collected 60 million tires to date. Tire Take Back is a way we can give back to Sunshine,” De Muynck says, additionally noting the total benefit of cleaning up excess tires from the environment.

Earlier this year, OTS celebrated the exciting milestone of sixty million tires recycled in Ontario. Sixty registered tire collectors from Thunder Bay to London donated tire collection allowances while OARA contributed an additional $25,000 to further enhance the final collection tally.

“We’re very proud of our 60 participating OARA members for their commitment to helping The Sunshine Foundation of Canada,” says Steve Fletcher, Executive Director of OARA. “Tire Take Back helps a child fulfill lifelong dreams, encourages Ontarians to recycle their tires, and enables a community to create a greener space. These are the reasons so many our members are eager to participate year over year.”

The official cheque presentation ceremony for The Sunshine Foundation of Canada took place on July 31, 2014 at A&L Auto Recyclers in Comber.

« Avant l’événement de cette année, OTS a atteint le jalon incroyable de 60 millions de pneus. Le programme Tire Take Back est une façon d’aider Rayons de soleil », a ajouté M. De Muynck, qui a aussi indiqué le bénéfice total de l’élimination de pneus pour l’environnement.

En début d’année, OTS a célébré le jalon de soixante millions de pneus recyclés en Ontario. Soixante ramasseurs de pneus agréés de Thunder Bay à London ont fait des dons et l’OARA a contribué 25 000 $ supplémentaires pour augmenter encore le montant final. « Nous sommes très fiers des efforts de soutien à la fondation Rayons de soleil de nos 60 membres, a annoncé Steve Fletcher, le directeur administratif d’OARA. Le programme Tire Take Back réalise les rêves des enfants tout en encourageant les Ontariens à recycler leurs pneus et la communauté à créer des espaces plus verts. C’est pour ces raisons qu’un grand nombre de nos membres est prêt à participer chaque année. » La cérémonie officielle de remise du chèque à la fondation Rayons de soleil du Canada aura lieu le 31 juillet 2014 chez A&T Auto Recyclers, à Comber.

The four day event included a factory tour on site in Kushiro, Japan.

W

ith auto recycling, it’s best to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. The industry, and its purpose, relies on efforts looked at from a global scale, requiring the perspective gained from a step back in order to leap forward. Each year, recyclers from around the world come together at the International Roundtable on Auto Recycling (IRT) to do just that—aligning ideas and goals, tracking progress and addressing obstacles facing the industry.

“There was definitely a focus on the proper disposal of ELVs and environmental protection, which in North America, I think we’re pretty good at,” says co-owner of Highway 4 Auto Salvage, Lorne Denneus of the 2014 meeting. “It’s an important issue for the global industry, as there are a lot of countries that have no regulations at all.”

This was one of many far-reaching subjects at the forefront during the eighth annual IRT, held in Kushiro, Japan from October 1 to 4. The conference brings together leading international automotive recycler associations, industry officials, guest speakers, and local auto recyclers to discuss the global auto recycling industry.

Hosted by the Japan Auto Recyclers Recyclers Association (JARA), more than 200 stakeholders were in attendance, excluding IRT staff and volunteers. International participation was high at the event, with over 55 delegates making the trip.

For Denneus, who shares ownership of his Coombs, BC location with his father, Roel Willekes, comparing the differences in Canadian processes with those of Japanese recyclers and other international delegates provided an opportunity for industry stakeholders to learn from one another.

“Here, we tend to focus on parts sales and re-utilization,” he says. “[Japan focuses] more on scrapping the car, with lots of different bins for dif-

E

n recyclage automobile, il faut souvent prendre du recul pour avoir une vue d’ensemble. L’industrie et sa raison d’être nécessitent un point de vue mondial; cette perspective nécessite de prendre du recul pour mieux aller de l’avant. Les recycleurs du monde entier se retrouvent chaque année à l’International Roundtable on Auto Recycling (IRT). Ils harmonisent idées et

objectifs, font le suivi des progrès et répondent aux obstacles auxquels fait face l’industrie.

Lorne Denneus, copropriétaire de Highway 4 Auto Salvage dit ceci de l’édition 2014 : « On se focalisait vraiment sur l’élimination correcte des VFV, ce que je pense que nous faisons bien en Amérique du Nord. C’est un problème important pour l’industrie mondiale, car de nombreux pays n’ont aucune règlementation. » C’était l’un des sujets de grande portée et de premier plan de la huitième IRT qui s’est tenue à Kushiro, au Japon du 1er au 4 octobre. Cette conférence réunit les associations de recycleurs internationales les plus importantes, les dirigeants de l’industrie, des conférenciers invités et des recycleurs locaux pour discuter du recyclage auto de par le monde.

Tenue cette année par la Japan Auto Recyclers Association, elle accueillait cette année plus de 200 personnes, employés et bénévoles de l’IRT non compris. Cinquante-cinq délégués du monde entier s’étaient déplacés.

Pour Denneus, co-propriétaire d’une société située à Coombs, en C.-B., avec son père Roel Willekes, comparer les processus canadiens avec ceux du Japon et d’autres pays est une occasion pour les membres de l’industrie d’apprendre les uns des autres. « Ici, on se concentre sur la vente des pièces et la réutilisation, explique-t-il.

[Les japonais] se concentrent sur la récupération, avec de nombreux bacs pour différentes matières. Je ne sais pas si ce serait rentable au Canada, mais on en apprend beaucoup. »

Des délégués de plus de 50 pays se sont retrouvés à l’IRT 2014.

Delegates from more than 50 countries came together at the 2014 IRT.

“You can read about it all you want, but until you’re face-to-face socially and formally, you can’t ask the questions and see why things happen or don’t happen the way they do.”

ferent materials. I’m not sure if the way they do things would be financially viable here, but it’s certainly a learning experience.”

In addition to Denneus, Canada’s contingent consisted of Ed MacDonald, Past President of the Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) and Steve Fletcher, Managing Director of the Auto Recyclers of Canada (ARC)—who agrees that the biggest benefit of the yearly meetings is their educational value.

“I learn a lot about what’s going on around the world. Other jurisdictions are sometimes way ahead of us in the use of technology to de-pollute vehicles, or they’re way ahead of us in terms of the regulations that they’ve encountered,” he says.

“You can read about it all you want, but until you’re face-to-face socially and formally, you can’t ask the questions and see why things happen or don’t happen the way they do. It just makes our efforts back in Canada that much more grounded.”

On that note, Fletcher made sure to address our country’s progress, focusing on The Canadian Auto Recyclers’ Environmental Code (CAREC), the national code of practice for automotive recyclers.

“We’re into our third, fourth year of audits, and it’s generally a positive story of improvement among members,” he says. “There’s a number of different licensing initiatives across Canada, and they’ve utilized CAREC as a jumping off point for what the standards are all about.”

The four day event also included presentations centred around global overviews and country reports on current industry developments, environmental standards, government policies, manufacturer policies, education and training, and research and information sharing.

Jeff Schroder of Car-Part.com announced a partnership between JARA and the company that will feed parts information to its website, creating a more expansive online marketplace with parts from the US, Canada, Japan and Mexico.

In addition, ARC and the Malaysia Automotive Recyclers Association (MAARA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding, in which both parties agree to collaborate to standardize the region’s auto recycling industry.

As the 2014 IRT wrapped up, for Denneus, in the end, it all came back to what he was able to take home with him.

“For me, the biggest highlight was the yard tour. I got to directly experience how they do things, as opposed to how we do it here,” he says. “That’s a lot of why I went. To pick up some new ideas and see if we could apply them here.”

Dans le groupe canadien, on contait aussi Ed MacDonald, ex-directeur de l’Automotive Recyclers Association et Steve Fletcher, directeur général d’Auto Recyclers of Canada. Ce dernier est d’accord pour dire que l’intérêt principal de ces événements annuels est leur valeur éducative. « J’en apprends beaucoup sur ce qui se fait partout dans le monde. Certains pays nous devancent de beaucoup dans leur utilisation de la technologie pour dépolluer les véhicules ou font face à des lois plus strictes, explique-t-il.

On peut lire autant qu’on veut, mais tant qu’on ne voit pas le travail en personne, on ne peut pas poser de questions ni constater si les chose fonctionnent ou pas. Nous sommes d’autant plus confiants dans nos méthodes. » M. Fletcher s’est d’ailleurs assuré de parler du progrès au pays en se concentrant sur le Code environnemental des recycleurs automobiles du Canada, le code de pratique des recycleurs canadiens. « Nous arrivons à notre troisième ou quatrième année d’audits et nos membres se sont dans l’ensemble améliorés, explique-t-il. Dans tous le pays, il y a un des initiatives d’homologation pour lesquelles CERAC a été utilisé comme point de départ en matière de normes. » L’événement de quatre jours comportait des présentations centrées sur des aperçus mondiaux et des rapports sur les développements actuels de l’industrie, les normes environnementales, les politiques gouvernementales et celles des fabricants, l’éducation et la formation, et la recherche et le partage de l’information.

Jeff Schroder de Car-Part.com a annoncé un partenariat entre JARA et la compagnie qui fournira l’information sur les pièces de son site Web, ce qui créera un vaste marché en ligne pour les pièces des É.-U., du Canada, du Japon et du Mexique.

De plus, l’ARC et la Malaysia Automotive Recyclers Association ont signé un protocole d’accord par lequel les deux organismes s’engagent à collaborer pour normaliser l’industrie du recyclage auto de la région. À la fin de l’IRT 2014, l’important pour M. Denneus est ce qu’il a pu ramener avec lui. « Le point saillant, pour moi, a été la visite du centre. J’ai pu voir directement comment on fait les choses là-bas par rapport à ici, explique-t-il. C’est en grande parti pour ça que j’y suis allé. Pour trouver de nouvelles idées et voir comment elles pourraient être appliquées ici. »

Summerhill Impact is cleaning up the environment, one mercury switch at a time.

S

ince Summerhill Impact’s Switch Out program went national in 2008, the auto recycling industry has made great headway in the safe disposal of toxic mercury switches found in vehicles across the country.

Designed to remove, collect and manage mercury-containing light switches and ABS modules before end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) are recycled, Switch Out began as a pilot project in 2000 with 11 participating Ontario auto recyclers. Summerhill — then known as the Clean Air Foundation — took over and began operating the initiative in provinces across Canada in 2001. Now running nationally for almost seven years, the program has proven a tremendous success.

For Summerhill Impact Program Coordinator Alan Sovran, the numbers speak for themselves.

“Over the last year alone we collected more than 45,000 switches,” he IMP-0187 Ad_largest selection_hlf pg_print.pdf

Summerhill, alors Fondation Air Pur, a pris les reines et a commencé à gérer l’initiative dans toutes les provinces du Canada en 2001. Cela fait maintenant presque sept ans que le programme fonctionne dans le pays entier. C’est un succès avéré.

Pour Alan Sovran, coordinateur du programme chez Summerhill Impact, les chiffres parlent d’eux-mêmes. « Rien que l’année passée, nous avons collecté plus de 45 000 interrupteurs »,

says, adding that over 10,000 of the total came from their 2014 October Collection Sweep. This sum also includes switches collected from areas never before drawn from, such as Nunavut.

Altogether over 500,000 mercury switches have been gathered since 2008, which has amounted to 425 kg of collected mercury since the program expanded its reach. To put this into context, Sovran likens the weight to that of Terminator 2-era Arnold Schwarzenegger sitting atop a Harley Davidson.

Switch Out is funded and supported by the Canadian Steel Producers Association and the Canadian - Alan Sovran Vehicles Manufacturers’ Association, and is currently working with the Auto Recyclers of Canada (ARC) and the Canadian Association of Recycling Industries (CARI) to deliver the program to all of Canada’s provinces and territories for the purpose of spreading awareness and education about the safe removal and disposal of mercury switches.

Since its conception, Switch Out has been recognized for multiple awards — Summerhill Impact won the silver Environmental Health Award at the 2008 Canadian Environmental Awards, and again in 2011 when the program was recognized with a Minister’s Award for Environmental Excellence.

“Over the last year alone we collected more than 45,000 switches”

indique-t-il en ajoutant que 10 000 d’entre eux proviennent de la Collecte d’octobre 2014. Ce total comprend aussi des interrupteurs provenant de zones nouvelles, comme le Nunavut.

En tout, plus de 500 000 interrupteurs à mercure ont été collectés depuis 2008, soit 425 kg depuis que le programme a pris de l’ampleur. ÉlimiMercure est financée et reçoit le soutien de l’Association canadienne des producteurs d’acier, de l’Association canadienne des constructeurs de véhicules, et travaille actuellement avec Auto Recyclers of Canada (ARC) et l’Association canadienne

LIFTING KID’S DREAMS 400 Auto Wreckers’ owner Tom Huehn stood alongside Scholastic Canada to encourage literacy with the children who were preparing to embark on the Sunshine Foundation’s 2014 trip to Disney World. Huehn took part in the 2014 DreamLift information session, a meeting held ahead of the annual trip to Disney World to brief parents on the trip’s itinerary. Each child received a book, in addition to sticker packs and removeable tattoos. The DreamLift trip treats children with chronic diseases and physical disabilities to a day-long trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and was run this year by the Sunshine Foundation with the support of RBC, SC Johnson and a local McDonalds.

This year 80 kids were able to spend a day in the Magical Kingdom.

Newborn infants need support from their parents, and that attention becomes especially vital when they are in need of intensive care. The Automotive Recyclers Association of Atlantic Canada (ARAAC) has donated $20,000 to Halifax’s IWK Health Centre this year. Continuing their support, Dalbert and Tabitha Livingstone of Island Auto Supply, and Ed MacDonald of Maritime Auto Parts presented another cheque for $10,000 on behalf of ARAAC to IWK’s Brenda Toner-Murchison and RN Diana Fergusen. The funds are for IWK’s Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit.

AREA, the BC Branch of the Kidney Foundation and Schnitzer Steel are working together to clean up end-of-life vehicles in remote communities while giving back.

AREA, la section C.-B. de la Fondation canadienne du rein et Schnitzer Steel collaborent pour nettoyer les véhicules en fin de vie tout en aidant des communautés isolées.

PERFECT PARTNERSHIP

LE PARTENARIAT PARFAIT

The BC Branch of the Kidney Foundation of Canada, Schnitzer Steel and the Automotive Recyclers Environmental Association (AREA) have joined forces to benefit the health of the environment and people in remote communities across BC. Over a year in the making, the partnership has set out to work with First Nations and Aboriginal community leaders to recycle end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) and provide the at-risk demographic with kidney disease screening while directly donating to the cause.

“I always felt there was a link between the Kidney Foundation’s Kidney Car program and helping First Nation communities,” says Colin McKean, AREA Executive Director and driving force behind the initiative.

Following a Kidney Car meeting, while reading the back of a Kidney Foundation business card, McKean learned that certain ethnic groups— including First Nations—have a genetic predisposition to the progressive and irreversible disease. With this information, and First Nations making up most remote communities in the province, the connection was made.

Working under the Kidney Foundation’s Recycle for Life initiative, the duo reached out to Schnitzer Steel to provide financial and recycling assistance, with AREA overseeing the transportation of ELVs to the province’s main recycling centres. A strong supporter of the Kidney Car program, Schnizter Steel agreed to provide equipment and expertise while also making a donation for every tonne of metal removed and recycled.

“The more cars we can recycle out of the community, the more money Schnizter will donate to Recycle for Life,” McKean says. “That also gives the community the incentive to recycle more, because the more vehicles we can pull out of a community, the more benefit goes back to that community.”

Community leaders may also opt to have the BC Branch of the Kidney Foundation host a targeted screening event to raise awareness and aid in early detection of chronic kidney disease.

With a pilot project in BC’s Lillooet area in the works and sights also set on the communities west of Williams Lake, McKean is hopeful that the initiative will be a success, and serve as a model that can be used countrywide.

“It’s an idea that I think is going to work well and demonstrates auto recyclers’ commitment to dealing with ELVs in remote communities while also providing health benefits back,” he says. “It’s a win-win scenario.”

La section C.-B. de la Fondation canadienne du rein, Schnitzer Steel et l’AREA se sont mobilisés pour contribuer à la santé de l’environnement et des habitants des communautés isolées de toute la C.-B. Les participants de ce partenariat d’un peu plus d’un an ont entrepris de travailler avec les Premières Nations et les leaders des communautés aborigènes pour recycler les véhicules en fin de vie (VFV). Ils offrent aussi aux personnes les plus à risque de contracter la maladie du rein un dépistage tout en faisant des donations directes. « J’ai toujours pensé qu’il y avait un lien entre le programme AutoRein de la Fondation canadienne du rein et les communautés des Premières Nations, explique Colin McKean, le directeur administratif et homme à l’origine de l’initiative.

En lisant une carte d’affaires de la Fondation après une réunion AutoRein, il a appris que certains groupes ethniques, dont les Premières Nations, ont une prédisposition génétique pour cette maladie progressive et irréversible. Il a rapidement établi le lien entre cette information et le fait que les Premières Nations habitent la plupart des communautés isolées.

Le duo, travaillant dans le cadre de l’initiative Recycle for Life de la Fondation du rein, a communiqué avec Schnitzer Steel pour une aide financière et pour le recyclage; AREA supervise le transport des VFV vers les principaux centres de recyclage de la province. Schnizter Steel, un grand partisan d’Auto-Rein, a accepté de fournir l’équipement et l’expertise, tout en faisant un don pour chaque tonne de métal récupéré et recyclé. « Plus nous retirerons et recyclons de voitures de la communauté, plus Schnizter donnera à Recycle for Life, explique M. McKean. Cela motive aussi la communauté à recycler. » Les leaders communautaires peuvent aussi choisir un dépistage ciblé organisé par la section C.-B. de la Fondation du rein, pour sensibiliser la population et contribuer à la détection précoce de la maladie chronique du rein.

Avec un projet pilote déjà en route dans la région de Lillooet en C.-B. et un autre en préparation à l’ouest de Williams Lake, M. McKean espère que cette initiative sera un succès et servira de modèle pouvant être appliqué partout au pays. « C’est une idée qui va fonctionner. Tout le monde y gagne. »

Recycled parts takes the strain of vehicle repair off consumers’ pocketbooks.

Les pièces recyclées coûtent moins cher aux clients.

ixing vehicles can be costly, if not outright debilitating to consumers’ pocketbooks. But when a part needs repair or replacement, sometimes your customers need to face facts and understand that the repair simply needs to be done.

There are options, however, in the form of purchasing OEM recycled car parts from auto recyclers who offer high-quality parts options to consumers at a fraction of the cost of new OEM parts.

Let’s take the Ford Focus’ 2010 model as an example, and let’s say you need to have your intake manifold replaced. Upon independently placing blind calls to Ford dealerships Canadian Auto Recyclers magazine learned that an OEM intake manifold would cost on average between $275 and $415, depending on whether the Focus in question has an evaporated emission system or a non-evaporated emission system. Comparatively, upon searching for the Ford Focus 2010 model’s intake manifold on Car-Part.com, we found Canadian recyclers offered the same OEM part at a significantly lesser cost. According to the site, the average cost of the 2010 Focus’ intake manifold is about $120.

Further illustrating the lesser costs associated with using recycled parts, we also looked at the A/C condenser for the same Focus model. CAR was quoted at a cost of $579.68 for a new A/C condenser, while Car-Part.com indicates again that using Green Recycled Parts offers substantial savings.

Using the website’s database of parts offered by Canadian recyclers, the average listed price for a recycled OEM A/C condenser is $125, a difference of approximately $455.

What this tells us is very simply that there are lower cost alternatives to replacing deteriorating parts. It is also usually possible to see the quality of Green Recycled Parts from progressive recyclers online, as each has been assigned a letter grade of either A, B or C. Green Recycled Parts provide substantial savings for vehicle owners, lightening the load on their wallets so they can spend their hard-earned money on other things. Since they just saved the money in your shop, they might be encouraged to spend some as well. What better time to sell them a regularly scheduled service plan?

l peut être coûteux, voir financièrement, débilitant de réparer des véhicules. Mais lorsqu’une pièce doit être réparée ou remplacée, parfois le client doit s’y résigner et comprendre que la réparation est tout simplement nécessaire. Par contre, il y a des options sous forme de pièces originales recyclées qui peuvent être achetées à recycleurs automobiles. En effet, ceux-ci offrent des pièces de grande qualité à une fraction du prix

des nouvelles pièces originales.

Prenons comme exemple la Ford Focus 2010 et disons que vous devez faire

remplacer votre tuyauterie d’admission. Après avoir fait des appels à l’aveuglette à divers concessionnaires Ford, le magazine Canadian Auto Recyclers a appris qu’une tuyauterie d’admission originale coûterait en moyenne de 275 $ à 415 $, selon que la Focus a un système de contrôle de l’évaporation de carburant ou non. Par contre, si l’on recherche la tuyauterie d’admission de la Ford Focus 2010 sur Car-Part.com, on trouve que les recycleurs canadiens offrent la même pièce originale à un prix beaucoup plus bas. Selon le site, le coût moyen est d’environ 120 $.

Pour illustrer davantage le coût moindre associé aux pièces recyclées, nous avons aussi cherché un condensateur de climatisation pour la même Ford Focus. Nous avons reçu une estimation de 579,68 $ pour un nouveau condensateur, tandis que Car-Part.com indique encore qu’une pièce recyclée offrirait de grandes économies. À l’aide de la base de données en ligne des pièces offertes par les recycleurs canadiens, nous avons trouvé un prix moyen de 125 $ pour un condensateur original recyclé, une différence d’environ 455 $.

Tout cela nous dit simplement qu’il y a des choix moins hers quand vient le temps de remplacer des pièces. Généralement, c’est aussi possible de voir en ligne la qualité des pièces recyclées des recycleurs, car chaque pièce a reçu une note, soit A, B ou C. Les pièces vertes recyclées offrent des économies importantes aux propriétaires de véhicules, ce qui est bien pour leur portefeuille. Ils peuvent ainsi dépenser leur argent durement gagné sur autre chose. Puisqu’ils ont économisé de l’argent à votre atelier, ils peuvent vouloir en dépenser un peu aussi. C’est le meilleur moment pour leur vendre un plan de service.

Good For the Earth

Bon pour la planète

Used parts foster greener environmental pastures.

Les pièces usagées créent un environnement plus vert.

BY/PAR ANDREW ARDIZZI

t’s a sobering thought to think of just how crucial the recycling process is to the automobile. Right from the time they are manufactured, automobiles come with an environmental price tag attached. Some of this is due solely to driving with an engine powered by fossil fuels, but it has been calculated that roughly one-third of the total environmental damage caused by vehicles occurs before they even hit the road.

Ponder all the individual materials needed to produce a single vehicle; the ores, plastics and rubbers need to come from somewhere. The individual parts need to be manufactured from the raw materials and in some cases subsequently shipped to other locations. Processing is costly, intensive and the far-reaching negative impacts on the earth can’t be understated, let alone overlooked.

Once we get into end-of-life processing, harmful fluids and coolants can further damage the earth if they’re not handled properly and carefully by professionals.

This is part of why progressive automotive recyclers are such a vital part of the chain. By reusing parts, they save us from having to pour energy and resources into manufacturing new ones. This alone is a massive environmental benefit, with over 80 percent of a vehicle’s entire weight being recycled or re-used. However, it doesn’t stop there.

The recycling process lessens environmental pressures by reducing air and water pollution, while successful reclamations of toxic oils and fluids from vehicles provides an average of 40 litres worth of removed fluids for each vehicle that are used, re-used or disposed of responsibly.

Once the fluids are safely extracted and the useable parts are removed, the unusable portions of the vehicle are then crushed and shredded, while the individual metals are separated and reused to make new vehicles and other common products.

Like the renowned symbol, the recycling process is cyclical. The wheel continues to spin, with environmentally conscientious auto recyclers working on the frontlines to protect the environment for a better tomorrow.

L

e fait qu’une chose à laquelle on se fie tous les jours puisse être aussi néfaste pour l’environnement donne à réfléchir.

Dès sa fabrication, l’automobile a un coût environnemental.

Ceci est en partie dû au fait que le moteur fonctionne avec un combustible fossile. Cependant, environ un tiers des dommages environnementaux causés par les véhicules ont lieu avant

même qu’ils ne soient sur la route.

Pensez à tous les matériaux requis pour produire un seul véhicule : mé-

taux, plastiques et caoutchoucs doivent bien venir de quelque part. Les pièces doivent être fabriquées à partir de ces matériaux bruts et, dans certains cas, expédiées ailleurs. Le traitement est coûteux et l’impact négatif ne peut pas être minimisé, et encore moins ignoré. Lors du traitement des véhicules en fin de vie, les liquides nocifs peuvent aussi causer des dommages à la terre s’ils ne sont pas manipulés correctement et avec soin par des professionnels.

C’est en partie la raison pour laquelle les recycleurs automobile représentent un maillon vital de la chaîne. En réutilisant les pièces, ils nous permettent de la pas utiliser d’énergie ni de ressources supplémentaires. Ce fait seul représente un avantage énorme pour l’environnement. Plus de 80 pour cent du poids total d’un véhicule est recyclé. Mais ce n’est pas tout.

Le processus de recyclage limite les problèmes environnementaux en réduisant la pollution de l’air et de l’eau; la récupération moyenne d’huiles et de liquides toxiques est de 40 litres par véhicule. Ces liquides sont ensuite utilisés, réutilisés ou éliminés de manière responsable. Une fois les liquides retirés de façon sécuritaire et les pièces mécaniques viables enlevées, les pièces non réutilisables du véhicule sont broyées et déchiquetées, tandis que les métaux sont séparés et réutilisés pour faire de nouveaux véhicules ou d’autres produits courants.

Comme le célèbre logo « recyclable » le suggère, le processus de recyclage est un cercle. La roue continue de tourner et les recycleurs automobile soucieux de l’environnement sont à l’avant-garde de la protection de la nature pour nous offrir un avenir meilleur.

liver Tuenschel has a reputation to protect. His automotive service facility, Roland Rad, has been in operation since 1948 in Newmarket, Ontario.

“I’ve owned the business since 2002, but the name has a rich history in Newmarket,” he says. “Roland Rad had an excellent reputation when I bought it, and maintaining it has always been very important.”

Tuenschel’s automotive career began with his father, who immigrated to Canada in the early 1950s. Like his son, Tuenschel’s father became a business owner, opening two gas stations. Tuenschel essentially grew up in the automotive business, and learned a strong belief in high levels of customer service.

“I like to give my clients options,” he says. “From Oliver Tuenschel of/de Roland Rad & AC. years of experience, I usually know what’s going to be a good fit for a recycled part, and giving clients an option on price encourages them to stay with us.”

Quality service keeps clients coming back for more. This is as true of recycling operations as it of the auto service business.

“There are a number of yards I like to deal with, but Carcone’s (Auto Recycling) is my number one,” says Tuenschel. “They’re very responsible on the environmental side, and their inventory system is great. They make it easy to give my clients options on recycled parts.”

While many professionals recognize the value of green recycled parts, consumers may not know their true worth.

“You do encounter resistance occasionally, but it’s all about education,” says Tuenschel. “Good recyclers offer warrantees, especially on big ticket items. Carcone’s, for example, offers an extended warranty, which I offer to my clients.”

Knowing that the parts provider will stand behind their end leaves Tuenschel and his staff free to concentrate on theirs.

“It’s the same as it is with any of our work. If there’s any issues, hand me the keys and we’ll fix it. The extended warranty is a great selling tool for me. As I point out to our clients, with that in place, you’re basically getting equal value to a new part.”

liver Tuenschel a une réputation à défendre. Son garage, Roland Rad, à Newmarket Ontario, existe depuis 1948.

« Je suis propriétaire depuis 2002, mais le garage a un riche passé à Newmarket, dit-t-il. Sa réputation était excellente quand je l’ai acheté, et la maintenir a toujours été très important. » La carrière de M. Tuenschel dans l’automobile a commencé avec son père, qui a immigré au Canada au début des années 50 et qui était propriétaire de deux stations-service. On peut dire que M. Tuenschel fils a grandi dans le domaine de l’automobile et qu’il y a appris la valeur d’un excellent service à la clientèle. « J’aime donner de options à mes clients, annonce-t-il. Grâce à des années d’expérience, je connais en général l’usage adéquat d’pièce de rechange. Donner des options aux clients les encourage à rester chez nous. » Les clients reviennent quand le service est de qualité. C’est aussi vrai pour le recyclage que pour les services automobiles. « Il y a un grand choix de recycleurs, mais Carcone’s est mon préféré, reconnaît M. Tuenschel. « Ils sont très responsables en matière d’environnement et leur système d’inventaire est excellent. Avec eux, il est facile pour moi de donner des options à mes clients. » Bien que de nombreux professionnels reconnaissent la valeur des pièces recyclées vertes, ce n’est pas forcément le cas pour les clients. « Il y a parfois de la résistance, mais tout est une question d’information, dit M. Tuenschel. Les bons recycleurs offrent des garanties, surtout sur les pièces chères. Carcone’s, par exemple, offre une garantie prolongée, que j’offre à mes clients. » Sachant que son fournisseur garantit son travail, M. Tuenschel et son personnel peuvent se concentrer sur le leur. « S’il y a un problème, passez-moi les clés et je le réglerai. La garantie prolongée est un excellent outil de vente pour moi. Comme je le fais remarquer à mes clients, avec, la valeur est la même qu’avec une pièce neuve. »

THE LAST WORD LE MOT DE LA FIN

The Next La prochaine Generation génération Fresh runners take up the torch of progress.

I

La relève sur la voie du progrès.

’ve been a small part of the progressive automotive recycling scene for nearly a decade now, and every year the community has managed to impress me beyond words.

The people I’ve met over the years have been incredible, and they always seem willing to go to almost any lengths to both help their customers do things better, faster, and cheaper, and to raise the image of their industry.

It’s an image that deserves to be raised.

This is not the slick, professionally packaged style of “image,” which is really just a public relations term for concealing the truth. This is the exact opposite. It’s the truth about progressive auto recyclers, and it’s slowly getting out to the public.

Many people have worked very hard in making sure that the public sees them the right way, and they’ve worked even harder making sure that what there is to see will be positive. They sell quality parts, delivered on time and in as-described condition, and they make sure to go above and beyond in following environmental best practices. Those parts really are as green as car parts can be.

There’s one thing that’s worried me a little.

What happens when those progressive owners retire? Will we lose the progress we’ve gained?

A panel discussion at the recent Automotive Recyclers Association convention convinced me those worries were groundless. The panelists were all relatively young, but they all shared the same vision as their forebears: that recycled parts are good for your wallet and good for the Earth.

My hat’s off to the next generation. You’ll make us proud.

D

epuis maintenant presque 10 ans, je fais partie des recycleurs progressistes et chaque année, cette communauté m’impressionne encore plus.

Au fil des ans, j’ai rencontré des gens incroyables prêts à tout pour aider leurs clients à faire les cho ses mieux, plus vite et moins cher, ainsi qu’à amé-

liorer l’image de leur industrie.

Nombreux sont ceux qui ont travaillé et continuent de travailler très fort pour s’assurer que l’image perçue par le public est correcte et positive. Ils vendent des pièces de qualité livrées dans les temps et en l’état promis, et

Mais quelque chose me préoccupe un peu. Qu’arrivera-t-il quand ces patrons partiront à la retraite? Cette avancée sera-telle perdue?

Un récent panel de la convention de l’Automotive

m’a

convaincue que ces inquiétudes n’étaient pas fondées. Les panélistes étaient tous relativement jeunes, mais ils avaient la même vision que leurs prédécesseurs : vendre des pièces recyclées à bon prix et bonnes pour la planète.

Bravo à la prochaine génération. Nous sommes fiers de vous.

Switch Out has reached another major milestone. Over 500,000 automotive mercury switches from end-of-life vehicles have been collected and safely managed since the launch of the national program in 2008.

Over 900 businesses have participated in the Switch Out program by returning mercury switches – it’s good for business and it protects our environment.

These recyclers check the end-of-life vehicles they process for mercury-containing convenience light switches and ABS sensors because they know that every switch counts!

To find out more about Switch Out, to register for the program, or to access our free educational materials, please visit www.switchout.ca, email switchout@summerhill.com or call (416) 922-2884 x345.
