American automotive recycling yard chain From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pull-A-Part, LLC is a United States chain of automotive recycling yards where customers bring their own tools and remove parts out of used vehicles. As of July 2017[update] there are 25 locations in 12 states.[1][2]
Founded in 1997 in Atlanta, Georgia, Pull-A-Part is the nation’s fastest growing self-service used auto parts retailer,[3] and recycler in the United States.
Beginning as a scrap metal recycling program, Pull-A-Part opened its first vehicle salvage and recycling yard in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1998. The company has expanded since, and in 2013 purchased Corpus Christi, Texas-based U-Pull-It Auto Parts Inc. as its 25th location.[4] [5]
Pull-A-Part works closely with environmental management programs to provide an environmentally responsible way to manage scrap vehicles. On January 28, 2008, Pull-A-Part was recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), for its participation in the EPA’s National Partnership for Environmental Priorities.[3]
Pull-A-Part was the first facility to achieve the Indiana Clean Yard - Gold Level Award from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) on October 15, 2009.[6] The Indiana Clean Yard program was established in 2009 in collaboration with the Automotive Recyclers of Indiana Inc. (ARI) to decrease environmental threats posed by vehicles stockpiled in salvage yards.[7][8] Pull-A-Part also earned the Indiana Clean Yard - Gold Level Award in 2011, 2013, and 2015.[9] Some of the steps that are taken to reduce environmental threats include:[10]
Pull-A-Part serves as one of the top-5 recyclers of mercury switches in the United States[13] and in 2008 Pull-A-Part hosted the US Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Stephen L. Johnson, who removed the one millionth switch as part of NVMSRP.[14] Paired with Pull-A-Part's used parts retail sector, these methods ultimately reduce the amount of waste from scrapped vehicles by 21 percent when compared to typical vehicle shredding practices.[15]
