Truck dealer uses recycled oil for heating system

OKLAHOMA (Scrap Monster): MHC Kenworth, a truck dealer in Oklahoma is using recycled engine oil for its heating system as a part of its environment friendly initiatives.

In addition to recycling oil, MHC Kenworth-Oklahoma City, which sells heavy and medium duty trucks, has found other ways to save on its operating costs while becoming greener.

The building uses a geothermal system that keeps the air temperature more consistent, reducing the amount of fuel and electricity needed to heat and cool the building.

The new dealership also features motion-controlled lights that turn off and on in response to available natural light and translucent hollow-core overhead doors in the body and service departments that allow natural light to illuminate those areas without affecting air temperature, Waste & Recycling News reported.
