Choosing how you will dispose of waste materials is a critical step in creating a business plan that implements health, safety, and cleanliness standards. Consider the sources of trash in your business, and choose waste container types and setups that will be supportive to your company's waste disposal needs.
Renewable And Non-Renewable Materials
Waste materials can be classified into renewable and non-renewable materials. Renewable materials can be placed inside of a waste container that is kept separate from any other containers that are designated for trash, but if you are uncertain how many salvageable materials will be incurred on a routine basis, purchasing a container that isn't sufficiently sized could result in overflows or the constant need to haul materials to a local recycling center.
If you choose to order products through a waste removal company, you will be able to lease waste containers that are each designated for a specific type of trash. Consider using a color classification system that consists of setting up containers that are color-coded. This type of setup will allow you to separate recyclable materials and store them inside separate bins. Non-renewable materials that are going to ultimately wind up in a landfill can be placed inside standard-sized trash containers or a dumpster.
Acquire a price listing through a local trash removal company. The listing will include the amount that you will be charged for waste containers and the fee that you will be responsible for paying for having trash picked up and hauled away. Compare these rates to what you would be responsible for paying if you were to invest in store-bought waste containers and transport trash to a garbage dumping station.
Customer And Employee Waste
The size of your company, the number of departments that operate from your business site, and whether or not customers will be purchasing goods will likely influence your overall trash consumption. A large company that has many employees onsite and that deals with customers each day may require multiple garbage stations, both within your business and on your property. Use waste containers with lids for indoor environments and set up containers with or without lids for the outdoors.
The Emptying Of Waste Receptacles
The manner in which trash is emptied from each waste container should not interfere with normal business operations. If the waste removal company that you have scheduled to pick up trash is going to be emptying a large dumpster that is outdoors, formulate a plan that involves transferring indoor trash outdoors and hauling it to the location of the dumpster. This will streamline the pickup process.

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.
