Owners Julie and Nick Stack and their staff know what it takes to run a top-notch facility, and environmental considerations play an integral part in the repair process.

For example, they installed a combined paint gun washer and solvent still, which allows them to reuse solvent and reduce worker
contact with the solvent. Solvent use will decrease from over 450 gallons a year to 10. This will cut their hazardous waste disposal
costs by $2,000 per year. Equipment payback time will be three years or less.

Providing secondary containment for antifreeze prior to pick up for recycling insures that accidental spills will not contaminate the soil or water resources.

By installing asphalt berms, over 95% of storm water runoff from their property is detained and filtered of pollutants prior to discharge to the storm water system. This insures that oil, gas, car-washing waste arid other pollutants do not enter the storm
water system, or ground water without treatment.
 

Nick and Julie are proud to have the
first EnviroStars autobody repair shop
in Snohomish County.

Aldercrest Auto Rebuild is also a Greenworks member through their efforts to recycle arid reuse bumpers, cardboard, sheet  metal, radiators and wheel and their commitment to close the loop by purchasing recycled materials such as used parts, recycled bumpers, toner cartridges, and computer ink.

Sharing their successes in the area of solid waste prevention and pollution prevention with other autobody shops, and their willingness to make improvements have contributed to their achieving their 5-star EnviroStars rating.
