WASTE MANAGEMENT
Analysis
Identifying the waste management needs, identifying recycling opportunities and ways to minimize waste output, and reviewing how waste minimization is progressing. Through keeping records of the different waste streams, a customer can see the results of their efforts in becoming more environmentally friendly and a more efficient business.
Collection
Involves the logistical organization to guarantee that bin containers will not overfill. The correct bin container size and service frequency is a must to prevent overspill or excessive smell. The correct bins for different wastes must be available with visible markings such as stickers and bin colour identification. Wheelie bins can allow customers to move bins from convenient areas to serviceable locations.
Transportation
Is the organizing of waste transport vehicles with the authorization and ability to transport the specified wastes from a customer’s work residence to landfill or processing plant. Waste must be transported by the vehicle designed for it. For example, general waste requires a vehicle with Compacter walls, to that of a cardboard and paper waste transporting. Customers may require a series of vehicles to meet their waste management needs. Vehicles, Drivers and companies require licenses / permits to operate in certain council areas to transport waste. Safety standards are vital to the transportation of clinical and hazardous waste. Drivers must undergo extensive training for emergency circumstances that may arise at any given time.
Recovery
Separation of recyclables for treatment, and then after treatment are packaged as raw materials. These raw materials are sent to factories for production. Raw materials made from recyclables are produced and sold as products on the market. Companies can purchase such products to further sustain the environment and natural resources.
Non-recyclable wastes by-pass this step and are delivered straight to landfill. Liquid and hazardous wastes are delivered to treatment plants to become less hazardous to the public and environment.
Recycle/Disposal
Disposal of non recyclable waste into landfill. Landfill sites must be approved by legal authorities. Legal authorities guarantee that specific wastes are buried at the correct depth to avoid hazardous chemicals entering the soil, water tables, water systems, Air and piping system.
