Copart announced it recently opened a new location in Alton, Ill., the company’s fifth in Illinois.

"The opening of this location in southern Illinois addresses our increasing volume, which has been driven by both organic growth in the industry and market wins," Jay Adair, chief executive officer of Copart, said in a news release. "Furthermore, it gives us the capacity for continued expansion in the St. Louis region."

The southern Illinois location hosts online sales on Wednesdays at noon.

Vehicles may be previewed in person Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

The facility is located at 99 Racehorse Drive, and the general manager is Andrew Kaufman.

Auctions are hosted on Copart.com. More Information about the new location's auctions can be found here.

Additionally, select Copart Midwest locations have served as safe environments for fire department training.

Local fire departments, law enforcement and similar government agencies are encouraged to contact the general manager of any Copart location for information about conducting training at Copart.
