Where can I find a good waste company near me? In Brisbane?
We are
often asked questions exactly like this. The way these questions are posed
varies a little from day to day.
People
might ask for where can I find a company that does Document destruction Brisbane, for example. And what this might mean will vary too.
You might
have a box or two of documents that you would need shredded. Or you might have
several pallets in a warehouse of non current forms and contract blanks that
you need to make sure don’t get used, so you want them destroyed. Which makes
complete sense. A more common need however is for a reliable service, on a
schedule, for something like a 240 litre wheelie bin change over for secure
documents.
Why would
this even be a concern, some people ask. Simples. If you are putting
information into the waste bins that has your customer or supplier details on
it, this can cause a range of issues if it were to end up in the wrong
location. Imagine your sensitive documents blowing around in the breeze at a
landfill. Or blowing out of the bin of a waste truck, over the roof and down
the road. At the very least, a littering fine.
Getting
your secure waste disposal managed appropriately is more important than many
businesses often realise. And when you think about it, its not all that
unusual. After all, how often do businesses think about waste. If your business
makes burgers for example, you are more likely to be thinking about the quality
of the food you serve and the customer experience. The ingredient quality, as
that impacts output quality. The cost of the staff and repairs. Its not often
waste gets on the radar…unless something is going wrong, that is.
Talking
about waste as a cost item, does your business simply throw everything in the
bin still? With the increased focus on sustainability, particularly in light of
growing evidence around the impact of humans, our consumption and wastefulness,
it makes sense to be minimizing waste and recycling as much as possible. If
your business doesn’t have a good handle on where to begin, recycling wise, a
good place to start is what we call the low hanging fruit. Have a look in the
bin and look for the recyclables. Then decide what the most common ones are,
and find a way to recycle them.
In many
cases, the best place to start is with cardboard recycling, and bottles and
cans. Cardboard is made of cellulose and it is re useable over and over again.
Plus, when it goes to landfill it creates methane. Which is really really bad.
Commingle isn’t huge volume wise but it is something we recycle at home so we
often look for a solution while we are in business. And the materials such as
glass and aluminium are energy intensive to make – so recycling them is definitely
good for the environment?
Food for
thought, we hope. Thanks for stopping by our blog.
