Recycling commences at the waste disposal level with segregation and containment of individual waste streams. Segregation, containment, transportation, and processing of waste streams are parts of waste management services. Each part of the waste management and recycling process requires adequate equipment to optimize the whole process making it even more profitable.
Segregation should start at the source with the use of recycling containers like for instance recycling bins or if you prefer segregated bins. Recycling containers range from ordinary office recycling bins to rigid containers for warehouses or even specially designed containers for the containment of hazardous and clinical waste streams. Such containers facilitate the movement of waste to external containers or waste handling equipment.
There are certain production processes that don’t allow the waste to be segregated on-site. It is the job of the waste management company to provide containers for the containment of mixed recyclables and arrange for the wastes to be segregated off-site.
With commercial and industrial waste management and recycling services, it is impossible to have a one-size-fits-all scheme due to numerous reasons which could clearly be the subject of another article. The ideal waste management provider should provide a tailor-made service that minimizes cost, increase recycling, eliminate waste from landfill wherever possible and maximize costs.
Waste audits are an important part of the process as they examine the whole production process and identify areas where cost savings can be made by the implementation of eco-friendly initiatives that rationalizes and increases recycling levels.
These audits are conducted with the purpose of understanding each business process such as:
- Types of waste
- Volume of waste
- Procedures of waste segregation and handling (if any)
- Utilization of recycling containers (if any)
- Utilization of waste handling equipment (if any)
- Current service levels and service scheduling
- Volume of recycling
- Overall current waste management costs
Based on these findings waste management companies can tailor their services accordingly to each organization.
To make the whole process even more profitable organizations can handle their own waste on-site by using adequate equipment like SmartSortAI Bins, Balers, Compactors, Shredders, roll-packers, drum or can crushers, etc. This equipment can process recyclable waste materials in a resalable format turning a cost into revenue.
