Seven ways to reduce waste

Because of this, Kaivac offers the following Seven Ways to Reduce Trash Liner Waste:

1. Save the liner; most small trash can liners can be re-used as long as a week before they need replacement

2. Always use the right size liner for individual cans; use very large trash liners for trash collection

3. Install large trash containers for “wet” waste, like food, in central facility locations; wet liners should be changed daily, dry liners do not

4. Remove all individual trash cans; some organisations place three large trash cans in strategic areas throughout their facilities. One for wet trash; one for dry trash; and one for recyclables

5. Use vacuum-powered trash compactors. Similar to a food sealer, these systems suck the air out of trash liners, reducing the waste volume by as much as one-half

6. Eliminate all trash liners in all trash cans, large and small.

7.  Find ways to re-use trash liners, for instance; used liners can be re-used to collect vegetation trimming
