When Less is More - 5 Tips on Reducing Your Waste

Simple steps that you can take to start reducing waste today

Sometimes it's easy to overlook some of the simplest steps a company can take toward starting or refining a waste minimization program. While you're evaluating your product-specific processes, remember that recycling and reclamation of wastes count too! Here are some simple ways to jump start your waste minimization program: 

Be smart about cleaning up leaks and spills - Switching from clay to modern absorbents might be one of the smartest changes you can make! Mats and socks are lighter and very absorbent, which means you'll use a lot less, thus cutting down on waste volumes and disposal costs. Less waste on a smaller budget - it's a double win!

Reclaim and recycle - This doesn't need to be tough. Machines called wringers can actually squeeze liquid waste out of contained absorbents. This allows you more options for reuse or recycling of the liquid and the absorbents!

Segregate liquid waste streams - Besides eliminating the potential for dangerous reactions, keeping waste streams segregated often allows the wastes to be recycled or disposed of at reduced rates. This may require some training, but the time spent is well worth the investment you and your colleagues will focus on to turn this waste reduction tip into reality.

Compact to save space - Your storage area staff will thank you if you consider compacting your waste! Some waste compactors can compact up to five drums of waste into one drum.

Be a savvy buyer - Purchase only the amount of materials you really need, and look to buy from manufacturers who will accept them back if the shelf-life is exceeded. Also try purchasing from companies that provide absorbents that contain recycled content and are made from sustainable materials, also companies that can automatically send you a shipment of product based on an annual usage.

Besides the peace of mind that you are complying with relevant laws and regulations, benefits of waste minimization can also include: 
  • Lower compliance and waste management costs as the quantities of waste generated decreases
  • A safer, greener workplace for employees
  • Reducing threats to the environment
  • Positive, public acknowledgement for being a good corporate citizen.
  • Whether you are refining an existing program or just getting started, the advantages of compliance are convincing! You don't need to be an expert, just try one of the tips above for yourself, and watch your waste shrink.

Best Shredder For Small Business

Shredding confidential documents is the smartest way to dispose of confidential information that should not be given to others. Lots of people are lost when it comes to determining what type of shredder they should use. It is simple, use the shredder that best fits your needs. Some of the best paper shredders are the micro cut shredders which shred your documents into less than one third of an inch pieces. This is the smallest of all the shreds. Shredders come in different types of shred and different strengths as well as for home office and commercial units. For very light duty jobs you can even purchase a portable unit that neatly stores away in a drawer when it is not in use. The best unit to have for a home office is a heavy duty machine. These are capable of shredding up to 12 confidential documents at a time by up to 3 users. This is one way of preventing identity theft from those seemingly worthless credit card offers. The more of these you throw away without shredding, th
