That's right! We recycled a total of 26,393,107 POUNDS of truck parts in 2023! This number does not include scrap, but only the parts that were reused by you, our loyal customers! Vander Haag's has been in the business of recycling parts for over 85 years. We are proud to have a positive impact on the environment by reducing the number of parts that would, under normal circumstances, end up in landfills. The total weight of reused parts is a significant increase over the last few years. Here are those totals:
2023: 26,393,107 Pounds
2022: 25,913,758 Pounds
2021: 22,630,818 Pounds
2020: 20,227,983 Pounds
2019: 16,756,836 Pounds
In 2019, we added a real-time counter to the Vander Haag's website on the homepage that allows visitors to see how many pounds of parts we have recycled year-to-date. Not only are we having a positive impact on the environment, but we are also helping truck owners save money... saving a truck owner or operator nearly 50% the cost of a new part without sacrificing the life expectancy of the part! Wow!! Vander Haag’s takes pride in the amount of quality inspected parts readily available for purchase online or by phone.
