Organizing your garbage is not always necessary. However, for financial, environmental, and legal reasons, you might find that organizing garbage results in much more effective waste removal. Consider these three tips for arranging your garbage and debris more efficiently.

Top Waste Removal Tips

1. Organize by Type of Waste

Sorting by type of waste can save you a lot of time. It can also help you identify supplies or equipment that might be salvageable, or in the case of hazardous materials, be required by law to dispose of properly. Develop an internal system to encourage better waste disposal habits, such as color-coding your trash bins.

2. Make Recycling Easy

Separating recyclables from garbage helps the environment, and could result in fewer waste disposal costs. Place recycle bins around the workplace to make it clear that your business encourages recycling and making it easy for employees to do so. Print out posters to place above the bins so that people are aware of what can be recycled.

3. Plan What to do With Items That Won’t Be Picked Up

Commercial waste disposal companies are very efficient for businesses to use, but they can’t accept every piece of garbage you have. Ask them if there are any particular pieces of trash or recyclables they won’t accept. Food waste and food containers are inappropriate for commercial disposal, for example, but they are okay for standard garbage collection. Once you have figured out what they can or cannot take, bring the rest of your garbage to a standard waste disposal company.
