WASTE MANAGEMENT - RECYCLE OR DISPOSAL?

Expertise is vital for effective modern waste management.

Who was it who said waste is just a load of rubbish? Once upon a time, maybe it was true. Today, the simple dumping of ‘rubbish’ is the last thing on the minds of those involved in waste management, whether commercial or domestic.

Instead the focus is on recycling, re-use, composting and careful assessment on whether the waste could have been prevented in the first place.

It can be a minefield – and an expensive one, at that – for many companies and businesses, as well as a challenge for individuals dealing with household waste.

That’s why highly professional, knowledgeable and approachable waste management companies are increasingly popular.

Not only do they ensure the most responsible disposal of everything from hazardous waste through to a pile of paper or cardboard, they can also act as advisers or consultants across the waste management field.

Many have vast experience and local expertise can ensure that any customer’s needs are handled in the most effective and environmentally friendly way and that strict health and safety and environmental regulations are met.

They deal with everything from the simple bin to 40-yard roll-on roll off skips and heavy-duty 32-tonne vehicles – and beyond.

Collection, separation, sorting, recycling, reusing or ultimate disposal of waste with no future use or value is all part of the service.

Often waste management companies extend their work to complete property or business clearances, full cleansing to meet stringent health and hygiene standards, and even one-off specific challenges like the removal of used drug needles from premises.

In a county like Norfolk, around 43% of all waste produced in 2009/2010 was recycled. But the target is to constantly improve on that figure.

Disposing of commercial waste can be one of the biggest costs facing a business. By reducing, reusing and recycling waste, companies can not only save money but demonstrate a commitment to saving the environment.

Landfill sites can no longer accept waste which has not been subject to some form of treatment to reduce its volume or impact on the environment. Advice on how you can go about this is available from waste management companies.
