The new location doesn’t just help salvage buyers and sellers conduct business more efficiently; it was also designed to conserve vital environmental resources. Recycled concrete was used on half of the 46 acres of surface that was developed. In addition, the facility will use an advanced geothermal heating and cooling system and reuse 90 percent of the water from its wash bays. |
