Autawash is a good steward of our environmental resources in many
ways:
|
Each Autawash car wash uses reclaim technology to re-use
30% or more of the wash water. |
|
Each Autawash car wash collects nearly all of it’s
wastewater and sends this wastewater to the sewage treatment
plant. This protects the local streams and rivers from
the harmful effects of soaps, surfactants, greases, and other
harmful pollutants that driveway car washing sends to the streams
and rivers. |
|
Barry Hillegas, President of Autawash and as Director of
the Rocky Mountain car wash Association, has been a leader in
the development of Best Management Practices for Commercial
car washes in Colorado. These Best Management Practices
have been adopted by the City of Aurora, Denver Water Department,
Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and Arvada. |
|
The AutaLube Fast Lube (located next to the South Havana
Autawash) recycles all of it’s waste oils and used oil
filters. AutaLube also accepts DIYS waste-oil that is
not contaminated. |
|
Autawash is also a member of the International Car Wash
Association which has formed a partnership with the Environmental
Protection Agency. |
|
Autawash of Colorado was recognized by the City of Aurora as a Water Smart Business Partner in 2003 for leading water conservation efforts in the car wash industry. |
|
The Arapahoe Road Autawash was certified by the Denver Water Department for meeting water conservation practices in 2003. |
|
Each Autawash car wash has an ongoing water conservation program to use water wisely. These conservation efforts led to a 30% savings during the drought of 2002 and 2003. |

|
Wastewater
from parking lot car washes goes down the city’s storm drains. Storm
drains are not connected to the city’s sewer system or water
treatment plants. Instead, this untreated water and the pollutants
it carries go directly into streams and lakes.
Protect the environment and protect your
car investment. Use
Autawash for your car wash and detail needs. Use AutaLube
to further protect your cars engine and performance with manufacturer
recommended lubrication and preventative maintenance services.
