At Dean’s Waste Collection we do a lot more than merely take away the rubbish you’ve generated. While the average household doesn’t really need to hire a waste management company, you may need one if you manage a building, run a business, or a factory. Fortunately, a waste company is well designed to handle everything you need, no matter what your industry.
Waste Management
When it comes to dealing with rubbish, “Waste Management” is where everything happens.
We take out all the rubbish you put out and then sort it and manage it. These days, it’s not just about picking up the rubbish and taking it to drop in the landfill. In fact, most companies are avoiding this as much as possible.
There are many types of waste, but waste companies tend to focus on Residential waste, and business waste. That is divided into commercial or industrial waste, which are not the same things.
Commercial waste handles everything from trade, education, recreation, business, and entertainment industries. It doesn’t include anything from residential spaces, agricultural or industrial sectors. On the other hand, industrial waste refers to the waste produced by the industrial sector and one company may not do it all.
Scrap Recycling
Metal can be recycled and while many companies don’t have the time to handle the recycling aspect of this, a good waste company will pick everything up and sort out what can be recycled. This ensures you don’t have to think about it, but your company will be greener because of it.
Recycling and waste management really go hand in hand, as so much can be recycled now. From plastic and paper and wood to metal, both iron and non-ferrous, a huge amount of the average business’ rubbish can be recycled.
E-Waste Disposal
E-waste is all the electronics and computers that get thrown away but cannot be put into a landfill. In a way, this is considered hazardous waste since it involves chemicals and heavy metals that could leach into the soil in a landfill.
Ideally, these broken computers and other electronics will be broken into parts and then recycled. In some cases, the products may be refurbished and resold or donated. All of this helps reduce the amount of pollution that results from these machines and electronics.
Hazardous Waste Disposal
Not everything can be recycled or deposited into a landfill. You can’t just put certain things into the bin like usual, so if you have a large amount of hazardous waste, it’s best to talk to a waste disposal company about taking it for you.
Hazardous waste includes:
– Paints, particularly oil paints
– Oil covered rags
– Assorted chemicals
– Any type of electronic
– Solvents
– Asbestos/insulation with hazardous substances
– Batteries
– Car oil
– Pesticides
– Materials treated with a hazardous material
– Coal tar
– Contaminated soil
– Unused/unset cement
– Containers that held a hazardous substance
In order to get rid of this type of waste, you must classify it. This lets us know how we should manage it and ensures no one will be harmed by the waste.
Industries That Need a Waste Disposal Company
Certain industries are more likely to require waste management. These include the following:
Construction and Demolition: There’s plenty of scrap to be rid of when building or demolishing something. From concrete chunks to bits of wood and steel, there’s a bit of everything when it comes to scraps.
Healthcare: Hospitals, clinics, and retirement homes all generate massive amounts of waste, which needs to be carefully
disposed of. Some of it is biohazardous, so must be handled with care. This requires a special company to manage it all.
Trucking: Surprisingly, trucking requires a lot of pallets, cardboard, and other waste products that are used as packaging and are often abandoned. The old tyres and mechanical parts are also part of the waste management that a trucking company requires.
Hospitality: Hotels, bars, and restaurants put out an enormous amount of rubbish every day, thanks to the many patrons they service. From bottles and napkins to cleaning items, there is no end to the amount of
waste produced in these places and it all gets swept up and thrown away.
Schools: Educational facilities are bound to find
themselves with plenty of rubbish and that all has to be sorted and processed
before it can be sent on its way. If you consider the sheer amount of paper and
food packaging that comes out of a school on any given day, you know that most
schools need at least one or two skips available to them at all time.
Manufacturing: Factories that make products will always have scraps and broken machinery to haul out. These pieces may be recycled, but there is also a lot of useless rubbish that must be thrown into the landfill. Waste companies can sort it all out and ensure that what is recyclable is sent to the recycling centre.
Many industries would benefit greatly from having a good quality waste disposal company on hand.
