If you own a automotive supply shop and purchase a lot of your inventory from outside vendors, leading to an overabundance of packing materials that are thrown away each week, the following tips will instruct you on how to designate an empty area inside of your business to be used for sorting and preparing waste materials prior to being picked up a a garbage or recycling company.
Use A Trash Compactor For Loose Materials
When inventory arrives at your business, unload packages in one area of the shop and open each one up before placing inventory on shelves. Use a rental trash compactor to condense and secure loose materials that you want to dispose of.
A trash compactor can be set up in the corner of your business or placed underneath a shelf so that it isn't in the way of other materials inside of the shop. Once a compactor's liner is full, remove the bag and secure the top of the bag. Place all of the bags on a cart and push them outdoors to a waste container before leaving the shop for the day.
Bale Stacks Of Cardboard
Rent a cardboard baler and have it installed near the area where packages are opened. Receive training on how to use the piece of equipment so that you or an employee can safely operate the machinery without being subject to incurring a serious injury. As cartons in your shop are emptied, use a box cutter to break each one down.
Toss the cardboard into the baler. After the baler is full, turn on the equipment to create stacks of cardboard that are secured by bands. Set the stacks on top of one another and transport them outdoors prior to being picked up by a recycling business.
Set Up Sorting Bins For Recyclables
If a lot of recyclable materials have been thrown away in the past, including plastic, glass, and paper, make an effort to stop throwing away valuable resources by lining up bins inside of your shop that can be used to sort recyclables.
Not only will you be saving valuable commodities that can be used to create new products, you will also be reducing the amount of trash that is placed inside of the dumpster or trash cans. As a result, you may find that you are able to fit all of the garbage at your business inside of the waste containers without needing to struggle to make everything fit.

I am a little embarrassed to admit that my mother is a serious hoarder. Thirty years ago, my parents bought an old 6 bedroom farm house. The previous owner was ill, so there was a lot of stuff left behind. I think that those things being left behind kind of started the whole hoarding thing for my mother. She found a lot of things that she really liked and held onto them. By the time my 5 siblings and I grew up and moved out, my parent's house was down to one bedroom that was still usable. My mother inspired my blog about eliminating garbage and unused items from the home.
