Heating with Waste Oil
GSFA drains thousands of gallons of oil from truck engines every year. That could be a big disposal problem, but we saw it as an opportunity. Today, every drop of waste oil is used as fuel to heat our facilities. Aside from being environmentally smart, it also cuts our heating bill dramatically.

Filter Disposal
Since its start, GSFA has made a commitment to properly dispose of every used filter in both of its garages. GSFA also records the disposal process of each those filters.
Used Anti-Freeze
Over 500 gallons of anti-freeze is removed, recyled and properly documented each year at GSFA.

Solvent Solution
Like other shops, GSFA uses solvents to wash parts. Unlike other shops, we distill our solvents overnight to remove the sludge.We then use that unwanted sludge in our waste oil furnaces. Distilling our solvents every night gives us crystal clear, clean solvent daily, and fuel to heat our garages.
Heavy Metal Commitment
In a typical year, GSFA generates over 50 tons of worn and broken metal parts and debris! Rather than just sending it off to the dump, we recycle every scrap.
