Reducing the volume of trash ending up in the company dumpster can result in significant savings for today’s cost conscious business. Pinellas County has helped over 63 businesses, including Lockheed Martin, Nature’s Food Patch, and Bausch + Lomb, initiate comprehensive recycling and waste reduction practices resulting in considerable reductions in disposal costs, while helping preserve natural resources.
Pinellas County Solid Waste has developed an effective program to help businesses implement measures to address waste stream volume. To get started, free waste assessments are available along with customized recommendations. On-site training can be arranged to help inform all employees about the benefits and procedural changes. In addition, educational and promotional materials can be provided to serve as in-house reminders.
Other resources include the popular online A to Z “Get Rid of It” Guide. The site receives more than 10,000 visits each month from individuals and businesses seeking to find a recycling market, reuse opportunity or alternate method of disposal for over 250 items.
