Recognition Programs Back to Meet the Members Southtowne Auto Rebuild Reduction in solid and hazardous waste is a passion at Southtowne Auto Rebuild in Tukwila. Inspired by the EnviroStar Program, the owner of this full service auto collision repair facility, actually emptied the entire contents of his full garbage dumpster and spread it out on the pavement. He took inventory of the contents and set about an ambitious plan to reduce the size of the dumpster, by recycling and reusing the landfilled items. Bubble wrap and other packing materials were given to two local shippers who were pleased to get the free materials.
