Tom Wood Goes Green


Tom Wood Automotive recognizes that all businesses can have a direct or indirect impact on their local, regional, and global environment. As a result Tom Wood has developed a green policy in order to minimize our environmental impact.

Recycling
All Tom Wood employees and patrons are encouraged to recycle.

Tom Wood Automotive has partnered with Ray's Trash Service  in a company-wide recycling program, which includes everything from beverage bottles and cans, office/computer paper, newspapers, magazines, shipping boxes, to scrap metal from our collision center.

The recyclable aluminum cans that we collect are then redeemed for refund and the funds are given to a local Indianapolis charity to support children with cancer: Tatum's Bags of Fun



Efficient Use of Energy
Tom Wood Automotive and our staff use and purchase energy star-compliant hardware whenever possible.

Encourage Conservation
Tom Wood Automotive staff and employees are encouraged to conserve energy whenever possible. Including the installation of motion activated lighting in most areas of our dealerships.

Minimize Waste
The used oil that we reclaim from customers vehicles after oil changes is harvested and stored and later used to heat our dealerships.
