Co-Mingled Recycling: Everything You Need to Know

Image
Recycling has emerged as a practice that can help in reversing the impact done by decades of improper waste disposal practices. Although it is not sufficient in itself to eliminate large-scale problems like global warming and pollution, it’s a step in the right direction. Today, we’ll take a look at co-mingled recycling , a method used to recycle various items like glass, paper, plastic, and much more.       What is Co-Mingled Recycling?    For many years, we’ve been taught to keep different kinds of waste items separate from each other to ensure they’re processed with ease. However, this method can change with the help of co-mingled recycling, also known as single-stream recycling. In this recycling practice, a single collection truck is used by waste collection companies to gather all types of waste materials including glass, paper, metals, plastics, etc.       This is a completely new approach as compared to traditional practices where many municipality-run sanitation a

Taking a commercially astute and environmentally responsible approach to commercial waste disposal

Commercial waste disposal and management are not just about handling waste, they are also about implementing practices that result in efficient resource use and waste reduction. Consider using less packaging material and sorting your waste into different commercial waste bins. Hazardous waste, such as asbestos, medical waste, radioactive waste, and chemical waste has the potential to harm humans and the environment. There are specific rules for hazardous commercial waste disposal , and needs to be stored and transported in specifically designated commercial waste bins by a licensed commercial waste transporter, like Richmond Waste.

Construction waste includes a variety of waste types such as concrete, bricks, wood, furniture, scrap metals, glass, etc. Most of the construction waste can be recycled and reused in other construction projects with the use of right construction waste management and recycling techniques. Proper waste management can also help in cost savings, as construction teams can cut down on the requirement to buy new materials. They can also save money on disposal fees by minimising waste, and properly dispose of any waste that is generated by a construction & destruction (C&D) project.    Construction waste can be inert, hazardous, or non-hazardous. Inert waste does not decompose easily such as bricks, asphalt, concrete, etc. Non-hazardous waste includes the waste type that does not immediately damage the environment or human health. These include wood, plastic, glass, and metal. On the other hand, hazardous waste has a high potential to harm the environment and human health. Examples o

Decades of negligence have also played a huge role, as for a long time, both residential, commercial, and industrial waste has been disposed of improperly without consideration for nature. Lastly, the slow adaptation of reducing, recycling, and reusing waste hasn’t been up to the mark.     Commercial Waste Management: A Necessary Implementation for All Businesses      The years of negligence related to waste management have led to an increase in various problems worldwide including global pollution and natural resource depletion.
