Helping the Environment
Our vehicle disposal process recycles everything we possibly can. Parts are purchased by our customers as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to purchasing from traditional parts sources. Parts that can be refurbished (i.e. radiators, alternators, compressors) are sold for remanufacturing. Many vehicle fluids including gasoline, oil and antifreeze are recycled. Ferrous and nonferrous metals are recycled and sold for reprocessing in new products. All of this reuse reduces the amount of new products that need to be manufactured, not to mention the raw materials and energy needed to create them.
Our environmental practices are second to none and exceed all federal guidelines. From our extensive experience, we have implemented standardized policies and procedures for managing vehicles and disposing of hazardous wastes
All of these efforts taken together protect the environment, beautify our neighborhoods and reduce the cost of new goods by returning valuable raw materials into production.

Buddy's In your Community
Buddy’s dedication to the environment and to our role as a community partner is what sets us apart from the traditional junkyard. Founded on the principle of responsibility and customer service, we have sought to exceed environmental standards and to be a leader in environmental responsibility. We have worked tirelessly to contribute to the community in a commitment to improve the neighborhoods we are part of.
Many communities are concerned with how to dispose of the high volume of vehicles that are taken out of service annually. Vehicles are commonly abandoned and left to decay on streets, residential yards, fields and even bodies of water. We believe that Buddy’s Upull offers local communities a solution to this problem with our industry-leading approaches to recycling vehicles in an environmentally friendly manner. We work with the community to acquire unwanted vehicles before (and often after) they are abandoned.
