Some Quick Small Business Recycling Tips

Every business, no matter what the size is, produces considerable amounts of waste, making it necessary to start a recycling plan. It’s primarily good for the environment. However, with a carefully laid out recycling plan, the business’ employee morale can be improved, and company loyalty among them can be increased.

You may think that getting into a recycling program is a daunting task, but with careful planning which involves your staff, it’s actually quite an easy and enjoyable endeavour.

Creating a plan

When planning for a recycling program, think of a strategy that should involve all your staff as well as your janitorial service provider. What are their responsibilities? Should each staff have their own bins for recyclables in their offices? Or should the janitor collect the recyclables on a regular basis? Should you also hire skip bins to have them on standby for a week or two for your recycling needs? Call recycling companies to learn about their rates and for the right size of bins for your needs.

Place recycling bins on workstations

One of the best ways to inspire employee participation is to put small recycling bins on every office and workstation. This will allow them to form the habit of regularly throwing whatever can be recycled into the bin, and not into the trash.

You can also set up larger recycling bins on hallways as well as on the bathrooms to make it convenient for each staff to place recyclables where they should no matter where they are in the office. Larger bins will also make it easier for staff to dispose of larger recyclables such as printers and copier cartridges.

Don’t forget to segregate. Be sure to put a label on bins for recycling and bins for trash to help employees remember where stuff should be dropped.

Educate and inform

Create a plan in writing and have it sent or emailed to each employee. Create a detail which should include the goals and each of the employee’s part or responsibilities.

If necessary, hold a training session to ensure that each of the employees know where the recycling bins are and how to properly dispose of their stuff. The company’s recycling program should also be thoroughly explained during new employee orientation.

To keep them on track, regularly send email reminders to heads of departments to be cascaded to each employee.

Monitoring and tracking

Track the progress of the recycling program to make sure you see the areas that need improvements. This way, you will be able to see who’s falling behind and who’s doing an excellent job at keeping up with the program. You can also implement rewards for those who are on track to boost employee morale.

5 Things to Look for When Hiring Skip Bins

The challenge for many builders, industrial businesses and homeowners is finding the right waste management company that has enough skip bins and other waste disposal equipment to sufficiently and safely take care of their rubbish.

It is indeed worrying to find wastes pile up significantly that it has become difficult and expensive to get rid of them. However, with the right set of skip bins from the right waste management company, consider your waste management problems solved.

Below are five things to look for when hiring skip bins.

Substantial number of bins

Wastes can pile up fast. That’s why you need a waste management company that has a huge number of bins of all sizes and types. They should be able to take care of your wastes right away, or on the very day that you need them.

Sufficient number of trucks in their fleet

It is important that your wastes are hauled right away. That’s why, look for a company that has a sufficient number of trucks in their fleet that are of various types and sizes. This ensures that whatever type of rubbish you need to be towed away, the company can easily take care of it.

How long can you use the bins?

It’s reassuring to have bins that you can use for as long as you need. Proper waste management shouldn’t be rushed, especially when disposing industrial wastes. That’s why, look for companies that allow you to use their bins for extended periods.

Ability to take care of any types of waste

The skip bins provider should have a wide range of bins that should be able to accommodate different types of wastes including:

• Food
• Paper products
• Construction rubbish
• Furniture
• Plumbing wastes
• Toxic materials
• Electronic/electrical wastes

Toxic or hazardous wastes must be taken care of properly. Ask the waste management company for experience in handling such wastes.

Waste management with the environment in mind

An ideal skip bins provider should offer more than just waste management. Ask the company what they do with the wastes after they’ve hauled them away from your place.

Some waste management companies have recycling facilities where they turn about 80 to 90 percent of the rubbish they collect into useful consumer products such as road fill, dirt and gravel.
