The environmental impact of your dumpster goes way beyond the landfill. Think about it. Every time an open top container is full it needs to be swapped out for an empty one. Obviously, there’s a monetary cost to this. But have you ever consider the environmental impacts of a dumpster haul? Every haul requires a truck to drive to and from your location. A truck that burns fossil fuels and produces CO2 emissions. The longer the distance from the haul facility to your facility, the more fuel burned, and the more emissions generated. These impacts are multiplied by the number of hauls per week, or even hauls per day in some cases. The best way to mitigate these impacts is to reduce the frequency of dumpster hauls. https://lnkd.in/ep9GsdcB #recycling #compactors #Ropax

On current trends we have no chance of achieving the National #Waste Action Plan Targets of 80% #diversion from #landfill claims Mike Ritchie in the February issue of Inside Waste au. Click the image below for the full article outlining why the 2030 #WasteTargets of a 50% recovery of organics and a 10% reduction in per capita waste generation are currently out of reach and what #WastePolicy actions could still shift the current waste to landfill trendline.

Hoping governments take note of this analysis and accelerate reform. Industry, councils and individuals cannot do it without States and Fed government leading.

Each week, our facility collects approximately 1800 kilograms of waste carried in by the wastewater collected from the municipalities. This garbage undergoes filtration before being responsibly transported to a landfill. What do you think the is the most frequently found piece of garbage we find in our incoming wastewater? a. condoms b. applicators c. rags d. all of the above

Let’s make like bacteria and break this down! Landfills create methane, which warms our planet. When we put our natural trash like old bits of fruits and vegetables, egg shells and coffee grounds in a landfill, they produce methane. By composting, which has airflow and bacteria to break down our waste, we create less of those dangerous greenhouse gasses. Plus, worms love it. Feed the worms, not the landfills!

Plants are like tiny water recyclers! While they do use some of the water you give them to grow, most of it is released back into the air through transpiration. Think of it as a plant's way of breathing – they release water vapour as they take in carbon dioxide. This released vapour plays a crucial role in the water cycle, eventually returning as rain! ️ So next time you water your plants, remember – you're not just nourishing them, you're helping to keep the whole water cycle in motion! #Hydromo #transpiration #waterrecycle #reclyclewater #watercirculation #watercycle #waterconservation

Have you ever thought about the journey your garbage bag takes after it leaves your home? It's quite a ride I'll tell you that. Most garbage bags don't end up in landfills close to their original departure spot, they actually travel for hundreds of miles to landfills located in another county or even another state, and more often than you think - even a whole other country. This is a wasteful journey in every way you look at it - it's polluting and emitting more #greenhousegasemissions from all the trucks; it's costly and makes garbage disposal a very expensive business for tax payers; it incentivizes illegal dumping as a cheaper and easier alternative; it creates massive disturbances to those residents living in proximity to the landfills; it increases traffic on the highways leading to and from the landfills and takes its toll from those roads that endure dozens of those heavy trucks all day every day. And - IT DOES'NT MAKE THE PROBLEM GO AWAY. Landfilling is not a solution. It's replacing one problem with another, one that's out of sight and out of mind. Waste treatment should adopt a decentralized approach, incorporating #wastetoenergy systems working in small scales in local transfer stations. 💲 We save all those extra costs associated just with transportation of waste; ⚡ We generate clean energy that doesn't rely on fossil fuels; 🌎 We reduce our GHG emissions, mainly CO2 and methane; 💡 And we offer a real economic way for waste treatment. So the next time you take out the trash think where you would like to see this bag going - from truck to truck to a ship to a landfill exacerbating the #climatecrisis ? Or being converted to clean and affordable energy? I know my answer. New Hampshire bill would limit out-of-state trash - Waste Today (wastetodaymagazine.com)
