There’s a lot of potentially hazardous stuff that can build up on your car — heavy metals, phosphates, motor oil, antifreeze and other hazardous substances. If you are not careful, all of this can go straight into the storm drain system (which doesn’t receive any treatment) and in many cases goes directly into our local waterways and has been proven to be harmful to marine life, wildlife and plants.

This is a problem that has been recognized nationwide, and a study by Environmental Partners Inc. confirms that water quality in is affected by curbside car washing. We separate road pollutants including oils, heavy metals and antifreeze from the car wash wastewater we discharge. Once we’ve removed many of the potentially hazardous substances from the water we use, wastewater is then released into the sewer treatment system, not storm water systems, for further cleaning.
