JM Family Enterprises, a diversified automotive company, recently received a Recycling Recognition Program award from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for their successful recycling efforts in 2014.
To obtain the honor, candidates must demonstrate a recycling rate at or above the state recycling goal of 50 percent – JM Family achieved a 64 percent recycling rate between its Deerfield Beach headquarters, JM Lexus dealership in Margate and its Jacksonville vehicle processing facilities.
The company recycles everything from traditional consumer commodities such as aluminum, glass, paper and plastic to miscellaneous metals, textiles and wood. This equates to over 4.48 million pounds of recycled material including used oil, anti-freeze, construction and demolition debris, tires and soft and rigid plastics such as rim and spare tire wheel covers.
