Taking Care of Pesticides
Posted on
April 30, 2012
Chemical and hazardous wastes such as commercial pesticides have been collected
by individual states and municipalities for over 20 years. In the past, these
programs were typically limited to individuals and residences – businesses using
commercial pesticides such as pest control, landscapers, ranchers, and growers
were not allowed to participate. However, some locations throughout the country
are beginning to enact chemical collection and recycling programs geared
specifically to these groups. You would need to check with your state or local
EPA or Department of Agriculture to see if your area participates.
As commercial pesticide and chemical recycling is not uniform through the
country, which business sectors can participate vary depending on the state and
are often funded through commercial pesticide registration fees that business
pays, the nation EPA, and state funds. The collection method for these programs
is similar to recycling efforts for electronic waste – one day or weekend long
events where business can drop off their waste. The chemical waste is then
collected, secured, and transported to a facility with a contained high
temperature incinerator. Destroying the chemicals in this manner prevents
seepage into groundwater and the soil.
WasteCare
Wants You to Remember: If your business relies upon commercial pesticides and other
chemicals, investigate chemical disposal programs in your area. Proper disposal
can help us to save the environment and may reduce your disposal costs!
Construction Waste Recycling

Construction waste contributes significantly to the total waste stream of the
If you’re in construction, building, or demolition, there are a few ways to
increase recycling:
1.
Collect All
Materials – In this method, all materials for recycling are combined together
and transported to a facility or transfer station which arranges the sorting and
recycling process.
2.
Separation of
Materials – In this method, construction materials ear-marked for recycling are
sorted at the work site (such as metal, wood, and concrete) and then transported
to facilities.
3.
On-Site
Processing - In this method, materials identified for recycling are processed on
site and made ready for reuse. This can be the most cost-effective strategy if
you generate considerable amounts of a particular recyclable material.
The cost incentives that result from construction recycling include: less
disposal and transportation costs, decreased need for new materials, and reduced
labor costs.
WasteCare
Wants You to Remember: Making a plan to effectively recycle construction waste helps to
save your business money while keeping recyclable materials out of our
landfills.
Is Your Business Recycling Paper?
Posted on
April 26, 2012
Did you know that waste paper contributes to more than twenty-nine percent of
all solid waste? When you look at how much waste your business generates each
month know that you could reduce that considerably by recycling paper. Paper
recycling is typically the easiest of all office waste to implement programs for
and for good reasons.Recycling reduces our need for increasing amounts of
landfill space and preserves the environment. Many of
What are the direct and immediate benefits of recycling paper? When your
business recycles over a ton of paper it:
§
Reduces the need
for more landfill space
§
Saves thousands
of gallons of water
§
Provides power
to supply a home for half a year
§
Eliminates
greenhouse gases by one MTCE

Wants You to Remember: Paper recycling is one of the most efficient things your
business can do to save money and the environment. Go green and save green!
Businesses Who Reduce Waste Save Money
Posted on
April 25, 2012
Businesses of all sectors and sizes have at least one thing in common – they all
produce waste! The kinds of waste produced will vary depending on your market.
Some businesses may only generate paper and water, while others will have to
contend with hazardous materials that require regulated disposal methods.
Regardless of the type of waste or the volume, removal costs will be a part of
your annual expenditures. This is why waste reduction and recycling is
essential.
While many businesses believe in the economic and environmental value of
recycling, setting up a process requires time, energy, and planning. The key
factor to remember is that every piece of waste that isn’t converted to revenue
is costing your business money. Take a look at what’s in your garbage dumpster
and see if you can turn lost revenues into an income stream. Also keep in mind
that consuming and disposing of less automatically reduces your garbage removal
costs. Take a look at what is thrown away and see if certain habits can be
changed to produce less trash.
There are many different ways to reduce waste generation. Here are just a few:
1.
Purchase
durable, long-lasting goods and materials
2.
Reduce or
eliminate raw materials that are not a part of your final product or service
3.
Using toxic or
hazardous materials
4.
Cutting back on
water and energy use
5.
Using e-mail
instead of printing paper copies and using double-sided printing when copies are
needed make a big dent in paper waste.
WasteCare Wants You to Remember: Make waste reduction and recycling a part of your business
strategy. You will not only positively impact the environment but your
bottom-line as well!
Quick & Easy Recycling Ideas
Posted on
April 24, 2012
Starting a plan to reduce, re-use, and recycle doesn’t have to be difficult or
time-consuming. Whether you’re trying to implement a program at work or home (or
both!) here are a few simple ideas to get started:
1. Plant a garden. Either in the ground or in containers. This can be done
regardless of the size of your yard. All you need is a little space outdoors
with some sunshine!
2. We’ve all heard of designated drivers but how about designated recyclers? At
your next party or function identify a person who will serve to ensure that
plastic or glass is recycled properly (and if you’re in a place where there’s a
redemption credit you’ll get some money back!).
3. Don’t let cold water go to waste. Capture it to use for pets, plants, or for
later drinking.
4. Try the no-trash lunch. Bringing meals from home is a great, money-saving
idea but take it a bit further by replacing paper bags with reusable sacks,
cutlery, and containers.
5. Before buying new, see if there’s a refurbished option. Many electronic and
appliance vendors sell these items with a full warranty but at substantial
savings.
WasteCare
Wants You to Remember: When you make recycling fun and innovative the people around
you want to get involved. The more you reduce, re-use, and recycle, the more
money you’ll save as well. This helps not only the environment but your home or
business as well!
Reduce Energy Use By Recycling
Posted on
April 23, 2012
Do you want to see the immediate energy saving benefits of what recycling can
do? Visit the iWARM calculator available on the Environmental Protection
Agency’s website and learn about how recycling workplace and household items
equates to energy usage.
Here are just a few fun facts: Making the choice to recycle an aluminum can
rather than put it in the garbage, produces energy equal to operating a 60W
incandescent light for a little over 4 hours, or a compact fluorescent light for
over 20 hours? Think about all the cans of beverage you, your family, and your
co-workers consume in a given day – if all those cans were recycled that’s
enough to light an entire house or small building!
But the iWARM calculator shows more than just the energy benefits of recycling
cans. It can also help you determine the energy savings for all these common
items:
§
Metal coat
hangers
§
Glass bottles
§
Steel cans
§
Corrugated
cardboard
§
Gallon plastic
(HDPE) milk jug
§
Gallon plastic
(HDPE) detergent container
§
Plastic grocery
bag
§
Plastic (PET)
bottles
§
Catalogs
§
Weekly magazines
§
White business
envelopes
§
Paperboard
Cereal boxes
§
Daily newspapers
§
Printer paper
§
and much more!
WasteCare
Wants You to Remember: Most homes and business have all the recyclable items listed
above. Are you recycling them or adding them in with trash? If you aren’t
recycling then you’re adding additional costs to your bottom line! Disposing of
your waste and recycling in an efficient, compliant manner can help to save the
environment and save you money!
Reducing Waste At Work
Posted on
April 20, 2012
Have you ever thought about how much waste you generate on an average day at
work? Take one day and try to notice how many times you throw something into the
garbage and how much energy is consumed (electricity, gas, oil…) as part of the
workplace. If you find you’re surprised at how much waste there is, here are a
few suggestions for improving your reduce, reuse, and recycle habits!
1.
Use double sided
printing when you need to print out paper copies. If your work does require
frequent printing, try to purchase paper that has a high recycled content in it.
2.
Get your
employees and co-workers in the habit of viewing files on-line instead of
automatically providing paper copies.
3.
Appliances of
all sizes continue to draw electricity when they are plugged in but not in use.
Make a habit of shutting off and unplugging any non-essential equipment at close
of business. You’ll be surprised by the change in your power bill!
4.
Position office
furniture near windows to take advantage of natural light and use
energy-efficient light bulbs.
5.
Set up carpools
or alternative transportation award system to assist employees traveling by
public transportation. Install bike racks to encourage biking to work.
WasteCare Wants You to Remember: The easiest way to encourage change in the workplace is to get
all employees involved. Make recycling simple and fun and you’ll start to see
energy-savings and cost-savings!
Cut Back Your Food Waste At Home And Work
Posted on
April 19, 2012
Whether you’re at home or at work there are many easy ways to reduce the amount
of food and meal-related waste you generate. The US Environmental Protection
Agency provides many great ideas for individuals and groups to follow to help
lessen each person’s environmental impact. How many of these tips do you already
follow?
1.
Set up a compost
bin or pile for vegetable waste, your garden will love the natural fertilizer!
2.
Pack a lunch box
or cooler to take to work or school. You’ll be amazed how many paper and plastic
bags you stop using!
3.
When you’re in
the cafeteria-line or lunchroom, try to take servings, condiments, and utensils
that you know you’ll completely eat and use. Some plastic items like forks,
spoons, and knives can be used several times before throwing away.
4.
If you purchase
store-bought fountain drinks or coffee, bring your own mug or container – some
stores will give you a discount on the price when you bring your own cup!
5.
Grown your own!
Whether it’s a home garden, a community plot, or joining a community supported
agriculture (CSA) program – buying locally grown produce reduces the
carbon-footprint of the food you and your family consume. You’ll also be amazed
how fresh and delicious it tastes!
WasteCare Wants You to Remember: When you’re at
home, work, or school think about the small changes you can make to reduce the
food and meal-time waste you generate – you’ll be surprised how those little
actions can add up to something big!
Mercury and Fluorescent Lights: a Dangerous Duo
Posted on
April 18, 2012
Carbon Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFLs) are a very popular lighting choice in our
homes, offices, schools, and businesses. However, these lights often contain
mercury – a highly toxic substance to humans, animals, and the environment.
The next time you’re called on to remove or replace fluorescent lights, keep a
few of these safety tips in mind:
1.
When you throw a
bulb into the trash it will break and release the mercury. Make sure to always
recycle these bulbs in a proper manner. If you are unsure how to go about doing
this, contact your local transfer station or municipal office. Some areas have
designated drop-off areas or days.
2.
While the
mercury in these bulbs is very hazardous, the other materials comprising the
bulb are excellent for recycling – the glass and metal can be easily reused and
re-manufactured into other items.
3.
Recycling may be
mandatory in your state! In places like
4.
So what do you
do if your state or town doesn’t require or offer recycling for CFLs? Some
retailers have independent recycling programs – check online or ask your
favorite home and construction supply store if they offer such services.
WasteCare Wants You to Remember: Newer
fluorescent lights do not pose the same hazards as the older, mercury-containing
ones. However, as these lights are very cost-effective and have a long-life of
use, remembering to properly recycle them is essential.

easy and affordable “going green” can be!
Recycling Tips for Home and Work
Posted on
April 16, 2012
Most people see the value in recycling and want to do more – but it isn’t always
easy to get started and create a habit. Here are five quick tips that you can
try at home and at the office:
1. Make an announcement that you care about recycling. Get the family or
employees involved. Place designated recycling bins in convenient locations so
everyone will remember.
2. Purchase recycled goods. Whether it’s copy paper, re-usable shopping bags, or
materials for construction, investigate items that are manufactured with
recycled materials.
3. Be selective! Look for items that use limited amounts of packaging. And try
items that are re-usable like cloth napkins instead of paper ones.
4. Get in the habit of thinking before throwing. Can the item that’s about to be
thrown away be recycled, re-used, or donated?
5. Contact your local transfer station or recycling center and learn exactly
what materials they accept for recycling. Ask questions about where items they
do not accept may be welcomed.
WasteCare Wants You to Remember: Recycling is a habit just like exercise, flossing your teeth,
or eating well – you need to give yourself time and keep track of your progress.
With time and dedication your home or business will be recycling more,
generating less waste, and making the environment a better place.
Construction Waste Regulations
Posted on
April 13, 2012
The United States Environmental Protection Agency has regulations and guidelines
pertaining to waste disposal for construction and demolition businesses. These
policies and best-practices apply to organizations of all sizes who are engaged
in construction, rehabilitation or demolition/deconstruction of residential,
industrial and commercial buildings or engineering projects for municipalities
such as roads, schools, and utility infrastructures.
While the EPA provides federal regulations and guidelines, all business
additionally need to follow their respective state’s environmental regulations.
In some cases, individual state’s will have policies that are identical to those
at the federal level but for some the regulations are more stringent.
To assist business owners, the EPA makes available an easy to understand
compliance section which breaks down most materials such as concrete, metals,
glass, wood, and salvaged building parts, and provides recycling and reduction
opportunities for each one. The page can be viewed at: .
Reducing and recycling most construction materials helps to reduce the amount of
landfill space municipalities need, lessens the environmental impact for all
that live in the community, stimulates “green” jobs, and can positively impact a
businesses project expenses through avoiding disposal costs.
WasteCare
Wants You to Remember: If your business is construction, the EPA and your state
environmental protection agency is your go-to resource for disposal and
recycling of C&D materials.

Solid Waste Safety
Posted on
April 9, 2012
The solid waste business is made up of three different groups: Those businesses
who focus on waste collection; those businesses in the areas of treatment and
disposal of waste; and then another group which focuses on specialty forms of
waste.There are hundreds of thousands of individuals who work in the solid waste
business and as with any dangerous job or manual labor, injuries can occur.
The key to success for any solid waste business is to focus on injury
prevention. It is essential that employees are routinely exposed to health and
safety programs particularly those which include recognizing hazards and
developing good personal safety practices.
What are some
things your business can do to reduce employee injury and time off the job?
•
Take advantage of federal and state health and safety programs and then add in
your own personalized training.
• Create a culture that values safety – from
the President to the entry-level worker.
• Have workers and managers meet
routinely to discuss safety concerns.
• See how your business compares to the
industry standards.
• Use equipment such as automatic lifting and collection
devices to limit overexertion exposures.
• Have training for all new
employees and periodic review for all individuals.
WasteCare
Wants You to Remember: Employee health and safety is everyone’s business. Injuries and
sickness impact your bottom line so make sure all workers are well trained!
Small Businesses and Hazardous Waste
Posted on
April 6, 2012
The United States Environmental Protection Agency offers small business owners a
publication targeted to identifying hazardous waste generation. This
publication, which is easy to read and written in laymen’s terms, helps owners
determine if hazardous waste is generated as part of normal operations and gives
detailed information on compliance best-practices.
The publication provides an easy way to determine which compliance category a
business fits into:
1.
Conditionally
exempt category for those generating 220lbs or less per month
2.
Small quantity
category for those generating more than 220lbs but less than 2,200 lbs per
month.
3.
Large quantity
category for those generating in excess of 2,200lbs per month.
Once a business determines which category they belong in, they are directed to a
section which provides hazardous waste regulations specific to their output
level. Different regulations apply depending on the level and kind of output a
business in generating. The publication only explains the federal regulations
for management of hazardous wastes. Small business owners should also consult
with their state and local environmental protection groups to learn if any
additional policies apply. In some states, the laws are identical to those at
the federal level. However, other states do have requirements that go beyond the
federal regulations.
If your business is in fact generating hazardous waste, the publication also
provides information on obtaining a business ID through the EPA, tips for
effectively managing hazardous waste, best practices for removal of hazardous
waste, and required record-keeping.
WasteCare
Wants You to Remember: Any level of hazardous waste is still hazardous waste. Learn
how to properly record and dispose of your waste to keep your employees and the
environment healthy for years to come!
Green Building Benefits
Posted on
April 5, 2012
Sustainable building, also known as “Green” construction, is unique from other
methods of constructions in that the design and implementation goals are to
allow for each building to more efficiently use and re-cycle water, energy, and
materials. This focus places greater emphasis on protecting the environment and
quality of health for humans living and working in the space.
Green construction can be identified by several characteristics:
1.
Efficient use of
water, energy, and other resources
2.
Protecting and
improving occupant health and productivity
3.
Reducing
pollution, waste, and use of environmental resources
To provide a few examples, green construction often utilizes sustainable
materials that have been recycled, reused, or manufactured from renewable
sources; they are designed to foster healthy indoor air quality; and incorporate
landscape design utilizing native plants which require less water to sustain.
Green construction has a significant impact on our economy, environment, and
human health. Research from the federal, state, and private levels continues to
support and strengthen the positives of building green, and how businesses can
achieve the greatest benefits without incurring large expenses.With each passing
year it becomes clearer that green building practices can increase both the
environmental and economic performance of the building and the businesses who
design and build them.
WasteCare Wants You to Remember: Green building
is not only good for the environment but ”in demand” by both residential and
commercial consumers. Going green can also help to make your business some
“green” as well!
Mold Remediation in Commercial Buildings
Posted on
April 4, 2012
The work of mold remediation in commercial, industrial, and school buildings is
serious business and one that requires great attention and care. Mold
contamination is hazardous and toxic – causing significant health issues.
Mold contamination must be completely removed for the premises. It is not
sufficient to kill mold with chemical applications as the allergenic and toxic
properties remain. The complete area must be removed. Furnishings and materials
that have mold growth cannot be re-used or recycled they must be disposed of
with other waste using 6-mil polyethylene sheeting that is double thickness. It
is essential to bag and properly secure the mold material before moving it out
of the infected area to prevent the spores from spreading.
When mold removal work is done, spores are released into the air and the
likelihood of human exposure increases. It is important that anyone engaged in
this work or working in the contaminated area properly protect themselves by
wearing long gloves, goggles that are fitted, and a respirator that covers both
mouth and nose. Attention must be paid to clothing as well as cloth can easily
become a carrier to the spores. Paper overalls that can be bagged and sealed
with other mold materials are recommended. These precautions are essential not
only for the health and safety of the people working or living in a contaminated
building but for the workers and employees responsible for the mold remediation.
WasteCare
Wants You to Remember: Mold is a hazardous and potentially deadly substance. Treat is
as you would any toxic chemical or risk your own health and safety!
