1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! By participating in a
recycling program, you will be able to divert
numerous materials from the waste stream.
2. Take a Waste Audit. Monitor the capacity of
your garbage container for a month before
your solid waste collection pick-up.
3. Reduce. If your garbage container is now
significantly less full, consider reducing either
the size for your waste container or the
frequency of service. Your solid waste costs
could go down by 15% to 25%.
Help Conserve Natural Resources.
Waste reduction activities can reduce the depletion of natural resources
by replacing raw materials with secondary materials in the manufacturing of new goods and products.
Reduce disposal costs.
Waste disposal is a growing expense for businesses and
organizations. Waste reduction efforts provide a practical means for achieving manageable waste disposal costs.
Visibly Demonstrate Your Environmental Commitment.
Environmental responsibility is a growing concern throughout our society.
Increasingly, manufacturers and their products are being judged in the market place on environmental criteria.
A genuine commitment to waste reduction sends an important valuable message to clients,
customers and employees. In a competitive market, this message of environmental responsibility
may possibly provide a critical marketing advantage. Consumers have become more aware
of the environment and consequently scrutinize the environmental sensitivity of the companies they use or patronize.
