I recently had
my water heater replaced.
We put the old water heater
on the curb
for garbage pickup
in two days.
The scrap metal salvagers
picked it up
within a half hour.
I once worked
in a gelatin plant.
The gelatin
was sorted into
numerous grades.
The highest grade gelatin
was sold to
pharmaceutical companies.
The lowest grade gelatin
was sold for
animal/crop use.
Not a drop of it was wasted.
Even the bins
and the pallets were sold
or reused.
If your business
is producing
garbage,
there is likely
a business
that would use
that garbage.
That might be
another income stream
or, at the minimum,
a means to reduce costs.
Investigate
whether or not
your garbage can be used
by someone else.
