Dumpster Rentals For Businesses Concerned With The Environment

You try to run an environmentally conscious food service business, encourage your customers to dispose of garbage in a safe way, recycling bins set up around your premises but like any business you produce a large amount of garbage and do not necessarily sort and separate as much as you should. With the help of an environmentally conscious dumpster rental company and some small changes in practice and waste management you can reduce your ecological impact considerably and beyond helping the environment you can also help yourself with the cost savings of reducing waste..

With the food service industry the amount of waste can be overwhelming and difficult and unpleasant to sort during the time that tables are being bussed. In the kitchen where there is more control over production sorting food items from other waste should not be a problem with some practice. Some long term dumpster rental businesses also offer composting equipment so you can reuse food waste to create compost. Even offering food waste to staff if they compost separately at home will reduce the general business waste. An environmentally conscious dumpster rental company will be able to assist you in setting up an environment where recycling correctly is convenient and will become second nature. With separate areas for cardboard and paper products, glass, plastic and food waste you will be able to tell your customers who appreciate this aspect of your business that all waste produced is recycled wherever possible.

For oil waste from deep frying machines there are many companies currently running services turning waste oil from restaurants into a clean and safe fuel. Donating waste cooking oil to bio-fuel companies is preferable to paying for oil disposal services that until recently was the only option. Some environmentally conscious dumpster rental companies offer specialized hoppers to store cooking oil cleanly and safely until it is available to be collected for fuel. Reusing containers in the kitchen is another good way to both reduce your environmental impact and save money, using old containers as storage for prepped food helps to also create an environment of reuse and less waste. If you can instill these ideals in your staff you will see your waste reduce and with work and education you can carry these ideas forward to save money for your business that can be invested elsewhere.

With a concerted effort of your kitchen and cleaning staff you will be able to further reduce waste, save water consumption and do your part to help the environment and you can start to encourage your customers to do the same thing. Dumpster rental companies can offer small separate front of house recycling bins to encourage sorting and recycling from everyone.
