Waste not--want not.
The waste budget rarely gets the attention it requires. After all, c'mon it's garbage. We produce it and it costs money to get rid of it. There's nothing we can do about it. Sound familiar? We feel as if we have a handle on it when we negotiate to receive the lowest bid, but our efforts can not stop there. Do we really know what we-re getting for our money? Do we really need everything that is being suggested by the hauler? Are we investigating every avenue that involves waste or are we wasting valuable dollars? With the ever increasing need to find savings, let's look for in in our waste. The following overview of current waste issues is Part One of a guide for the review of practices and potential opportunities. The second part will appear next month.
