Smart Tips for Effective Waste Management

November 15, 2013 0 Comment

Waste management is a process of rubbish removal that involves the collection, transportation, disposal, management and monitoring of the same. Rubbish or waste is generally regarded as that which is produced by human action, and the process is undertaken for preventing their ill health due to hazardous environment.

The main focus of waste management is to delay the rate at which natural resources are consumed. Waste materials in any form whether liquid, solid, gaseous or radioactive are considered under waste management. Following are certain ways in which you can manage different kinds of waste in Australia:

1. Tips for managing home waste

As they say charity begins at home, we shall start with managing waste of our home. Given the increasingly consumer-oriented lifestyle we lead now-a-days, the quantity of domestic waste in the form of packaging, wrappers, food waste, plastic etc. often becomes an issue. The only way to combat this is to eliminate as much waste as possible.

When it comes to managing waste, there are a number of ways that can be used like waste reduction, reuse and recycle. Keeping your home clean can not only keep you away from diseases but also contribute towards keeping your environment healthy.

Here are some tips for you:

# Do not bring in too much waste: You need to be careful while doing food shopping in Robina. Try to buy packs that are recyclable; buy bulk packages; reduce the quantity of bottled water and cook at home rather than buying food from outside, thereby bringing in additional packages.

# Do not put out too much waste: Just like you should not bring in too much waste, you should not put out too much of it as well. How? Recycle as much as possible; get more durable products; do not throw away but repair broken items or sell them; you may use organic waste to prepare compost for your garden.

# Opt for private waste collection companies: You need not depend on the government when it comes to waste management in Australia; instead, you may opt for a private waste collection company like Border Skip Bins, which collects much more frequently than the council. They also sort the waste themselves and make the whole procedure of recycling simpler for households.

2. Tips for managing biodegradable waste

Biodegradable waste is one that breaks down plant and animal matter naturally with exposure to oxygen, heat and microorganisms. ‘Compost’ is what you get when you recycle biodegradable waste.

Here are some tips for you:

# Go for a city composting plan: You may call your city’s waste management services and find out if they offer a composting program. If you stay in a rented apartment, ask your landlord if the building is part of a composting program.

# Strike a deal with a composting service: Research and call a composting service provider in Coolangatta. You may also get in touch with the local farms. If you own an agricultural business, you may call a dead animal composting service.

3. Tips for managing hazardous waste

Disposing hazardous waste is necessary for the safety of both humans and animals. Such wastes can come from manufacturing by-products, cleaning fluids, pool chemicals, fertilizers, insecticides, paint and thinners, light bulbs, technological items, etc.

Here are some tips for you:

# Use less hazardous things to produce less hazardous waste: This can be done through lean manufacturing, EMS or Environment Management Systems, energy recovery and green chemistry.

# Recycle potentially hazardous materials: You can collect zinc from smelling furnaces; recycle batteries; collect hydraulic fluids, oils, refrigerator compressors from fridges and cars.

4. Tips for managing business waste

Recycling, reuse, and resource recovery in your company can contribute a lot towards effective management of waste. Doing so can not only save you money but do good to the environment as well.

Here are some tips for you:

# Measure your business waste: Just before the skip bins are about to take away the garbage, make a note of how much they weigh. This way, you can get an estimate of the amount of waste your business produces.

# Reduce the waste that goes to landfill: Ask yourself how you can reduce the waste your business gets from goods and services? Is there a business around that may need your waste materials? Finally, which are the materials that can be used for recycling?

# Contact people who collect recyclable materials: There are several private and public recyclable material collectors in Coolangatta and Gold Coast that you can contact for taking away your waste materials for recycling.

Skip bin services are readily available in Australia and can be of great use, irrespective of whether you are on a DIY project, getting your home cleaned or want your business trash away. They are easily accessible, pretty big in size, cost-effective, and help in keeping your surrounding clean.
