ZERO WASTE & MATERIALS MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

Turn Waste Into Operational Value

Reduce disposal costs. Improve material recovery. Simplify waste handling. Build a measurable path toward zero waste.

Your waste-management program should do more than remove dumpsters from your property.

​

We help manufacturers, distribution centers, construction operations and other high-volume businesses develop comprehensive materials-management programs that emphasize Redesign, Reduction, Reuse, Recycling and measurable waste diversion.

​

Through a coordinated combination of mobile compacting trucks, open-top dumpsters, installed compactors, trailers, recycling outlets and professional hauling services, we create a waste-flow system built around your facility, production needs and sustainability objectives.

​

We do not simply haul waste.

We help businesses control it, measure it, reduce it and recover greater value from it.

A SMARTER APPROACH TO COMMERCIAL WASTE

Traditional waste service is often reactive.

​

A container becomes full. A truck removes it. Another empty container arrives. The process repeats—with little attention given to why the waste was generated, whether the container was properly utilized or whether valuable materials were unnecessarily sent to landfill.

​

Our approach is different.

​

We evaluate your entire material flow—from the point materials enter your property through their final reuse, recycling or disposal destination.

​

Our experienced professionals help identify:​

  • Where waste is being generated

  • Which materials can be eliminated

  • Which items can be reused

  • Which materials should be separated

  • Which equipment is best suited for each waste stream

  • How transportation and hauling frequency can be reduced

  • How diversion performance can be measured and improved

  • How your organization can work toward a zero waste certification objective

​

The result is a more organized, efficient and accountable materials-management program.

ZERO WASTE CONSULTING SERVICES

Structured Solutions for Measurable Results

 

Our zero waste advisory services are influenced by the TRUE Rating System and the sustainability principles promoted by the U.S. Green Building Council and Green Business Certification Inc.

​

We help clients develop practical operating systems that support the major elements of a successful zero waste program.

​

REDUCE

Waste reduction can lower hauling costs, purchasing costs, labor requirements and disposal fees.

​

We help businesses measure waste generation and establish reduction goals based on:

  • Facility

  • Department

  • Production line

  • Waste stream

  • Supplier

  • Container

  • Product produced

  • Month or reporting period

​

This provides management with a clearer understanding of where waste is being generated and where improvement efforts should be concentrated.

REUSE

Many materials placed into dumpsters still have useful value.

 

We help businesses identify reuse opportunities for:

  • Wood crates

  • Pallets

  • Cardboard boxes

  • Shipping racks

  • Plastic totes

  • Dunnage

  • Packaging materials

  • Metal components

  • Office and warehouse supplies

​

Reuse programs may include internal exchanges, supplier returns, repair programs, resale opportunities and partnerships with community organizations.

RECYCLE

Recycling works best when materials are properly separated, protected from contamination and delivered to a qualified end market.

​

We help establish dedicated recycling streams for materials such as:

  • Cardboard

  • Office paper

  • Plastic film

  • Rigid plastics

  • Ferrous metal

  • Nonferrous metal

  • Clean wood

  • Broken pallets

  • Reusable packaging

  • Selected manufacturing materials

​

Our goal is to improve material quality while reducing contamination, unnecessary transportation and lost commodity value.

WASTE DIVERSION & PERFORMANCE TRACKING

Know Where Your Materials Are Going

 

A professional zero waste program must be measurable.

​

We help clients establish reporting systems that track the movement of materials from the point of generation through their final destination.

​

Your customized reporting program may include:

  • Total waste generated

  • Total material reused

  • Total material recycled

  • Total material sent to landfill

  • Diversion rate

  • Contamination rate

  • Weight by material category

  • Number of container pulls

  • Average container payload

  • Hauling cost

  • Disposal cost

  • Recycling revenue

  • Cost avoided through reuse

  • Waste generated per unit produced

  • Transportation reductions achieved through compaction

​

We work to provide management with meaningful information—not simply stacks of invoices and weight tickets.

​

What gets measured can be managed.

What gets managed can be improved.

OUR EQUIPMENT & SERVICE SOLUTIONS

Mobile Compacting Trucks

 

Our mobile compacting—or “smashing”—service helps businesses increase the usable capacity of open-top dumpsters containing approved bulky materials.

​

Instead of removing a dumpster simply because the material inside occupies too much space, our mobile equipment compresses the contents and creates additional container capacity.

​

Mobile compacting can help:

  • Reduce premature container pulls

  • Increase average container payload

  • Control bulky waste

  • Manage temporary production surges

  • Improve outdoor container organization

  • Reduce truck traffic

  • Lower transportation-related costs

  • Create additional capacity without immediately adding containers

​

Mobile compacting is especially useful for approved materials such as:

  • Wood

  • Broken crates

  • Nonrepairable pallets

  • Bulky plastics

  • Packaging materials

  • Selected manufacturing waste

  • General residual material

​

Every application is evaluated for safety, material compatibility and final destination.
