Maplewood Toyota

Global emissions are of great concern to the Toyota Corporation.  Most vehicles in the Toyota line-up are Ultra-low emissions out-put or better.  Hybrid technology continues to be a prime focus in the line-up and we will see more vehicles reducing our dependence on foreign oil.  We at Maplewood Toyota are proud to sell a very ecologically responsible brand of vehicles.  However, there is much, much more we can contribute to do our part.

In an effort to reduce our impact on the environment, Maplewood Toyota/Scion has taken many steps to be Clean and Green.

Spearheaded by Hugh McLeod, our Hybrid sales specialist, the dealership as a whole has taken the initiative to be better stewards of our planet.  All car dealerships consume large quantities of paper in order to facilitate day-to-day operations.  Here are a few ways we have endeavored to green-up so to speak:
    
     -- All shredded document remnants are recycled
     -- All computer paper is recycled
     -- Paper recycle bins have been placed in multiple locations throughout the showfloor
     -- The Service department is recycling the protective paper mats used in customer vehicles.

Water conservation is another important area on which Maplewood Toyota is focusing.  For a while we offered complimentary bottled water for our service and sales customers.  We found however that this was creating two problems:
     -- Water wasted in partially consumed bottles
     -- Large quantities of plastic bottles, some of which ended up in the garbage rather than recycling bins.
To rectify this situation, we switched to a water cooler and recyclable paper cups.

Along with this, we set up a complete recycling program for the showfloor and service departments for plastic, cardboard, aluminum cans, and plastic bottles.

We all share the same planet.  What are you doing to help keep it clean and green?
