What nigros does to go green

• Use in-store bottle and can recycling bins for guests and employees;
• Recycle scrap metal, car batteries, tires, and paper;
• Reduce paper use: store reports on networks instead of printing, make two-sided copies, run fewer daily reports;
• Turn off lights and electrical items in unused offices;
• Use compact fluorescent and energy smart bulbs in fixtures wherever possible

In keeping with the “green” movement and in effort to help preserve our environment, Nigro’s Auto Body is proud to

announce that we are taking steps in going green! We are now offering a water based paint through Sikkens.
