Green Works, a subsidiary business under Goodwill Industries of Greater Detroit, has expanded its used oil filter recycling program to now include a collection service in partnership with Green Arbor Environmental.
Green Works’ used oil filters recycling service now offers a “milk run” style pick-up service of both used oil filters and used motor oil from metro Detroit quick change/oil change shops and automotive dealerships. The operation of two Oberg SB-600 oil filter crushers allows Goodwill’s Green Works to process up to 400 tons of filters per month.
In keeping with Goodwill Detroit’s mission to support and employ people with employment challenges, Green Works, along with the organization’s Flip the Script program, has trained several of the region’s returning citizens to operate the Oberg SB-600, which will result in multiple shifts of uninterrupted operation and the creation of additional new jobs.
