As part of our Amnesty day on Thursday the 22nd we will accept many of the environmentally unsafe products from vehicles free of charge! They will be processed in our professional automotive dismantling operation. We will do for you on this day, what we do every day!
Items that will be accepted at Nordstrom’s Full-Service Auto Recycling 2.0 or Ewe Pullet Self-Service from 8am to 5:00 pm are automotive batteries, Car and Pick up Tires (limit 8 per household, no businesses), fluids of any sort from the vehicle (oils, antifreeze.) (Once again, Individual quantities, not businesses) Nordstrom’s recycles these products every day, but for this special day we will help the public to properly dispose of these items. You may bring out damaged and junk auto parts to dispose of also. Let a Nationally recognized Certified Auto Recycler go to work for you! We are just a few minutes northeast of Sioux Falls on a fully paved route via 480th Ave! See our Facebook Page for a full map of directions from where you might be coming!
Other things we are doing!

Come harvest some savings with your tools and your labor for your savings without paying the gate admittance fee! Also, FREE admission to the EWE PULLET the ENTIRE month of April if you wear EWE PULLET LOGOWEAR or any UNDER THE HOOD SHOW LOGOWEAR. Remember, re-use is the purest form of recycling!

We are happy to do our part to make Earth Day 2021 a great reminder of the stewardship we all need to take to preserve the Earth we live on! Thanks for helping us spread the word!
Nordstrom’s Automotive Inc wants to remind the public:
Automotive recycling is the recycling at the purest. Re-use is the ultimate form of recycling. Raw materials and expensive manufacturing are not required when a quality used auto part is harvested from another vehicle and used again. Reusing the Green Recycled Parts® is the best way to recycle for sure, but there is more! Approximately 86 percent of each vehicle is recycled. That equates to six million tires, 100 million Gallons of Gas and Diesel fuel, 24 Million gallons of motor oil, eight million gallons of engine coolant and 4.5 million gallons of windshield wiper fluid annually. Every year end of life vehicles produces over 14 million tons of steel to be reused and recycled. More than 97 percent of all the vehicle battery lead is recycled. Certified Auto Recyclers and others like Nordstrom’s have removed over 4 million switches containing mercury. This effort has stopped over 8500 pounds of environmentally contaminating Mercury from causing dangerous pollution. With the effort of conscious Auto Recyclers, the vehicle is one of the greenest products on the planet! The size of the American automotive fleet currently numbers approximately 270 million vehicles, nearly one apiece for every man woman and child in the country. Of these, it is estimated that nearly 11 million vehicles are taken off the road each year when they are totaled in accidents or reach their End of Life. (EOL) Nordstrom’s Automotive Inc of rural Garretson is a Certified Auto Recycler (CAR) who prides themselves in offering our customers great savings while promoting a green environment. All harmful pollutants are contained and disposed of properly throughout our dismantling operation. Nordstrom’s has been recycling EOL vehicles since the late 1960’s’; over 50 years! Nordstrom’s was the 2018 STAR CERTIFIED AUTO RECYCLER FOR THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES! AS VOTED BY THE AUTOMTOIVE RECYCLERS ASSOCIATION. (A-R-A.ORG)
Have a great EARTH DAY!
