How to Reduce Waste Costs


As a manufacturer of high quality waste handling equipment that maximizes compaction ratios, SP is familiar with the best ways reduce an organization’s carbon footprint. One of the rarely looked at ways to reduce carbon emissions in business and industry is by carefully evaluating the waste disposal process. Most operations leave disposal decisions up to their garbage hauler. The problem with this approach is that companies forget garbage haulers are in the trucking business, which means that the more they haul, the more they make. Even in recycling at the commercial or industrial levels, transportation is often overlooked.

Taking a closer look at how much waste and recyclable material fills the containers being hauled away from a business can make a huge difference. Densifying is the easiest way for industrial and commercial operations to reduce energy, reduce fuel, reduce emissions, and cut their waste handling expenses in half. In most cases this can be initiated with no additional expense or investment and puts money back into a budget immediately. Many companies overlook the option of simply putting a heavier load into their containers.
