lWoodbecks celebrate 60th anniversary with a giant party — | Stirting - Say the phrase auto wreckers jure up images of junk yards | and piles of old tires waiting to be burned. | Modern auto recycling is a very different business moving rapidly toward the whole concept of “cradle to grave,” which means if you make a product you are responsible for it. In Europe, Mercedes Benz is committed to ensuring recycling of all components of their cars. In the States Ford is now getting into the auto recycling business. It is interesting in this area we have one of the most progres- {sive auto recyclers in Ontario, Woodbeck i Auto Parts. It is celebrating its 60th anni- versary on Saturday, July 17. In the old days a wrecked car was parked and sat there rotting away. Now when a car comes in an inventory is made and put data base. This i | linked to other recyclers across the prov- ince, so if a customer needs a special part it can be located. Owner Bruce Woodbeck says the environmental con- trols that came in during the 1970s are 1 getting Sehr and tighter. Tires are either disposed of at a licensed facil- ] Fee ant ieee waste oils, washer fluid and brake fluid all have to be drained and | correctly disposed of.

It is finally compressed and sold to scrap merchants. The “cradle to grave” approach has many advantages says Woodbeck. It ensures parts are reused and materials are re- turned the need for new natu- ral resources. Bruce Woodbeck’s father, Burton, and his grandfather, Frank, started repairing cars in 1939. Frank had been a cheese maker at Lasswade near Coe Hill In Stirling, their original premises was near Station Street. In 1949 Frank and his wife, Verna, built a house on Wellington Street, be- hind where the North Street plaza is now and they moved their yard there. Bruce’s brother bought the business in 1964 and moved it to the present site at Woodbeck Road north of Stirling in 1968. Bruce Woodbeck took over the business in 1978.
