Commercial waste management deals with the disposal of waste/trash generated by a company or business. This can include creating and/or implementing recycling programs, in addition to sorting and disposal of trash.
There are several ways a facility can manage the disposal of their waste. Many companies today do not want to simply haul everything off to the landfill. The three main alternatives to disposing of waste into the landfill are to reduce, recycle, reuse. Reducing means reconsidering the quantity materials used in production to reduce waste and cost. Recycling materials can be done though local recycling centers. Finally, some materials can be broken down for reuse, or refurbished so that they can be brought back into the product life-cycle.
Recycling management as part of a facilities’ waste management program is the management of waste that does not go to the landfill. Management of recycling entails sorting materials for recycling or breaking down in to components to be reused. A good recycling management program can help to reduce cost, add to customer satisfaction and brand image.
Recycling is managed effectively for most business with help of professional recycling and waste management. Implementing recycling building-wide for most facilities requires a combination of material sorting and container organization together with staff and occupant education and information about where waste and material should be placed.
The first place to try reduce waste is to cut down on consumption. For example one-time and limited use materials could be substituted for reusable materials in packaging for transportation. In addition reductions in consumption businesses can adopt waste reduction and recycling programs that will lower the amount of material going to the landfill by redirecting them for reuse or recycling.
The better question might be “Why would a business NOT want to reduce waste?” When organizations reduce waste they save money, lower pollution and conserve resources. There are no benefits to producing waste.
