Hidden Hazards in Wasted Resources

The cost of doing business today is on the rise. Whether you are a public municipality or private entity, wisely managing your bottom line is required to stay viable in this volatile market. Waste management (hazardous waste, garbage, recycling, and organic diversion) for your organization means more than just ensuring your hauler services your account. To that end, if you are managing municipalities, your responsibility, risk, and workload don’t stop at your back door.

Your responsibilities extend to every resident, multifamily complex, and business in your community. Properly managing the material your organization and community produce, right-sizing containers, sorting, diverting materials into various containers, and changing the number of pick-ups over the course of a year can have a significant impact on bottom lines and community diversion percentages.

The problem is that you do not have staff with the necessary expertise volunteering to take the lead, sort, categorize, analysis, and provide actionable data. And you do not need the additional liability because the truth is there can be real hidden hazards lurking in waste streams from racoons and rats to used needles and hazardous waste.
