WE KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO ACHIEVE IT. 

Contact us to discuss your business needs and how we can create a simple, streamlined plan to bring you into compliance and keep you there - affordably. 

No two yards are alike -

we find solutions for YOU.

 PRICE

Environmental services can be costly - especially for the 'little guys'.  We offer very competitive rates; we are a small business ourself with very low overhead. This allows us to provide expert consulting services at a price that fits your budget.  Our office is located on the site of a former salvage yard in Bloomington, Indiana. 

Working with Fields Environmental gives you access to resources, knowledge and proven strategies for meeting your business and compliance goals.  Experience shows that making the real changes necessary to reach and maintain environmental compliance facilitates the development of a system that streamlines and improves the effectiveness of your business.  The by-products of the auto salvage industry, often the materials that prevent environmental compliance, are unique in that most of them have value.  Let us help you develop a program to manage, store and even profit from your by-products. 

LET US HELP YOU: 

+ Be a good neighbor/environmental steward

+ Achieve and maintain environmental compliance

+ Improve value, profitability and marketability of real estate

+ Manage, store and profit from your by-products

+ Train your personnel effectively

INDIANA CLEAN YARD: 

There are not many environmental programs that award performance like the Indiana Clean Yard Program.  With other programs your only incentive is to avoid the disincentives, such as enforcement and fines.  IDEM is offering to award you for reaching compliance and improving your business.  Programs like this do not come around every day.  This program is a good one; it can help your business and improve your property value. 

The state has certain requirements that automotive recyclers must meet: licensing, permitting, environmental compliance, etc.  Each of these processes takes time and money; time and money that you are not able to directly apply to running your business.  Each permit, license and status that you work to obtain, therefore, has value.  It is not necessarily value that you can put a price tag on, but there is value.  If two yards are for sale: one has no licensing and is not in compliance environmentally and the other is an Indiana Clean Yard; it makes sense that the second yard is worth more.  The work has been done and the systems are in place.  Not to mention a yard with Clean Yard status is viewed as a good environmental steward, beneficial community member and a better neighbor. 

Experience shows us that making the changes necessary to reach and maintain environmental and regulatory compliance facilitates the development of a system that improves the effectiveness of your business.  A more effective business is a more profitable business. 

+ Increase efficiency, productivity, business value

+ Lower insurance rates

+ Reduce inspection frequency

+ Become a good neighbor

+ Gain peace of mind

Achieve Compliance on

YOUR Terms.

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) began focusing on salvage yards due to the high potential for environmental damage posed by automotive waste.  As a business owner, you need to find the simplest, most direct route to compliance that will save you money and time and, most importantly, be one you can maintain. We can help you get there!

We represent automotive and scrap recyclers across Indiana. Our experience in this industry shows us that the regulatory system rewards the proactive. We have seen better and more cost-effective results when compliance is reached voluntarily. As soon as a case has been forwarded to enforcement or a negative inspection has taken place the ball is out of your court. The timeline is no longer one of your choosing. It makes sense to get where you need to be environmentally on YOUR schedule and budget.     

WE GET IT.

As a small business we understand that the process to reach compliance can be intimidating, costly and difficult to understand.  We enjoy working with other small businesses to develop a strategy that suits your needs and allows you to succeed in today's uncertain economy.  We can train you to self-monitor the environmental conditions in your yard, including storm water sampling, self-audits and inspections.  We'll give you the tools you need to achieve compliance or assist you in reaching Clean Yard or Clean Yard-Gold status through a streamlined, easy-to-follow environmental compliance so you can focus on what's important-your business. 

YOU'LL GET IT TOO.

Working with a trusted name in environmental consulting demonstrates that you are serious about environmental compliance and your business. We do not approach every salvage yard the same way. We listen to your goals and take your budget into consideration to develop a plan that is right for you-one that you  can maintain.  We provide you with the knowledge you need to navigate toward compliance.  It is your choice how much or little involvement we have. This allows you to reach your goals without breaking the bank. 

PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE

We create a plan to meet your goals, whether you want to stay in business long-term or sell your business and/or real estate for the highest possible return on investment.  Now is the time to get into compliance.
