Consumer Battery + Device Recycling Program

Herzog-Meier Volkswagen now offers a convenient way to recycle rechargeable devices or lithium-ion batteries. In collaboration with Redwood Materials, we have on-site bins for easy and safe drop off of rechargeable batteries and consumer devices, including cell phones, laptops, tablets, cordless power tools, electric toothbrushes, wireless headphones, and old vacuum batteries.

Redwood's technology can recover more than 95% of the critical minerals from batteries (such as nickel, cobalt, lithium, and copper) and then manufacture the metals into battery components that are supplied to US battery manufacturers for new electric vehicles and energy storage products.

Renewable Energy

We are committed to using clean energy and reducing our carbon footprint. On the roof of our dealership is an array of solar panels that powers our facility and offsets as much as 50% of our energy use.

Using Less Plastic

We are reducing our use of plastic and our reliance on single-use items. We've installed water filtration stations and we offer paper cups in an effort to leave less of a mark on our environment.

Recycling

It might seem like a small thing, but we know how much of an impact recycling can have on our environment. We're committed to putting less trash in landfills by focusing on recycling and making it easy for our employees and customers to dispose of their recyclables while at our dealership.

LED Smart Lighting

Our state-of-the-art Volkswagen dealership is powered with energy-efficient LED lighting, so we use far less power than standard lighting systems. We also have low-flow technology in our faucets and bathroom equipment, which cuts down our water use dramatically.
