Is the dumpster at your commercial property always filled before pickup day with scrap, papers, and other waste from the office and the shop? If so, and you don't know if everything should be going into the dumpster, it's time to look at some other waste management services.

Disposing of everything responsibly isn't just something you should do for your own conscious; it's the law. Here are some things you'll want to consider to help with the waste problem.

Hazardous Waste Disposal Company

Do you have to dispose of oils, chemicals, or other hazardous waste that you know shouldn't go into your dumpster? If so, make sure that you have a hazardous waste disposal company come and pick up the waste to make sure that it doesn't contaminate the earth and to ensure it's disposed of properly. These companies should supply you with containers for the waste, and you can schedule what day works out the best for pickup. You can also have them pick up the waste on demand if needed.

Paper Shredding Services

Are you throwing out tons of paper and documents that maybe shouldn't be left for people to go through, or that take up too much space in your garbage or recycling bin? If so, hire a paper shredding services company to take the papers and shred and recycle them. They do all of the shredding and disposal for you, so you don't have to worry about personal identification numbers getting out, banking account numbers being leaked and more.

Recycle the Scrap

Don't let any of your scrap go to waste. Make sure you take all of it to the scrap yard on your own, or let one of the workers take it to get the extra cash if you don't want to take the time to recycle everything. This saves room in the dumpster and allows the metal to be used for other things.

Before you spend the money to have a larger dumpster or a second dumpster dropped off at your property, you want to try these options to minimize the amount of waste that goes into the unit each week. Take a look around and make sure none of your staff is using the dumpster for personal reasons as well, since this can take up space that you're paying for. These are all the ways you'll be able to conserve space in the dumpster and get rid of waste responsibly. To learn more, speak with a waste management company like Bobcat Disposal Of Sarasota.
