The auto body shop at Parr Ford/Mazda recently became an EnviroStar business. Parr Ford/Mazda Auto body shop, located at 4949 Auto Center Boulevard in Bremerton, has demonstrated its interest in protecting the environment by properly managing hazardous waste, being awarded four stars for its efforts.

Shop Manager Jason Murphy led the effort in getting the shop certified. Spray painting of vehicles is done in a permitted spray paint booth and high-volume low-pressure spraying equipment is used to prevent air pollution. The shop uses a solvent recycling machine dramatically reducing the amount of solvent waste generated each year. Employees are aware of proper waste handling and storage requirements. Containers of hazardous waste are correctly labeled, kept closed at all times, and spill materials are available in the shop.
