Do you own a commercial property and the trash is always a huge problem? Is the staff trying to cram it into the dumpster and shut the doors each week before there is more waste than room in the bin, but you don't want to pay for another dumpster? There are options you can look at to help reduce the amount of waste you're sending to the landfill each week and to help you be more responsible.

Recycle Everything

Do you use metal components in machines or in the shop, a lot of paper in the office, and do you have a lot of plastic containers or bottles that go into the dumpster weekly? If so, get three large bins and have the bins all labeled so the items can be recycled. You can often get a lower rate for trash removal if you recycle, and recycling helps the environment. Taking the time to recycle removes a lot from your dumpster.

Hazardous Waste Pickup

Are you tossing debris that can be hazardous to the environment, and you wonder if it should go in the dumpster? Anything like oils, gasses, fluids that contain chemicals, and electronic devices should be picked up by the property hazardous waste company so you don't have to worry about where it ends up around the planet. You can schedule this regularly or call the service when needed.

Destroy Important Documents

If you have a lot of payroll documents, account documents with banking and routing numbers, or other information that has people's personal identity on it, have it all destroyed. You can have a company come to you, pick up the documents, shred them and then burn them or mutilate the scrapings. This way the papers aren't lounging in your dumpster for someone to find, and they aren't taking up room in trash bags.

Ask all employees if they are dumping personal items in the dumpster to make sure this isn't contributing to the problem. Before you purchase another dumpster to sit on the property to take up space and fill with even more waste, make sure that you are doing the best job of getting rid of the garbage that you have. You don't want to end up paying for another unit that you don't really need, and you don't want to be one of the companies in your area that doesn't dispose of trash the right way. Contact a company like Bobcat Disposal Of Sarasota for more information.
