An East Rochester auto shop is turning waste into warmth this winter. 

Schoen Auto Repair on E. Chestnut Street is taking recycling to a new level. The shop runs its heater on used oil from oil changes.

The shop's service manager says there are several benefits.

"Not only are we reusing it, but it's a clean and efficient way of using the oil. It's definitely something we can use instead of calling another company. So we're almost self-sufficient now," said Jeff Magione.

The shop is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
