Restaurants generate a tremendous amount of solid wastes including paper, cardboard, plastics, wood, food wastes, glass, metals, special wastes and hazardous wastes. Business-wise, restaurant owners and managers need to continually look for new and better ways to reduce costs and minimize overhead expenses while meeting Customers’ demands. Lincoln Waste Solutions provides a retail waste management framework where you can have one point of contact to manage all of your locations while receiving a minimum of a 10% discount in shared savings over what you were spending last year.

Retailers are taking a two-pronged strategy of reducing their own waste while encouraging their Customers to recycle as well. This is why Lincoln Waste Solutions is partnering with a variety of retailers; in hopes of finding ways to help make your retail business more environmentally, economically and socially responsible. Zero waste to landfill is the target that many retailers are setting themselves. Minimizing product waste, creating partnerships and generating energy from waste is helping them to achieve this. Efficient waste management not only cut costs but can allow retailers to make money from recyclables.

Establishing a successful construction or demolition (C&D) waste recycling operation in the USA is a challenge today, especially because secondary materials markets have not yet matured, yet Lincoln Waste Solutions has developed an award winning solid waste management system designed to decrease your waste spend while offering shared savings on various waste solutions.

Increasingly, municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill operations refuse to accept C&D waste making trash management more of a day-to-day problem. Skyrocketing tipping fees, exorbitant dumpster costs as well as expensive roll-off fees, all due to the scarcity of landfill sites have made C&D waste management a tricky business particularly with growing concerns from regulatory agencies and the public who all of a sudden seem to have a waste focus.

No other business sector has more unique waste products; more need for rolls-offs, dumpsters, plus more complex streams. In other words, you need to save money on your waste as well as make sure that all of your waste streams are being disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.

Lincoln Waste Solutions has worked with some of America’s largest manufacturers to ensure their waste is being properly disposed of . . . Lincoln also guarantees we will save you 10% over whatever you spent on waste the previous year.

We will put that in writing before we make the very first pick up.

Trucking companies around the country are finding reasons to follow the green trend. Whether they’re recycling their cardboard by adding recycling dumpsters, filling up with biodiesel fuel, hauling their goods with more aerodynamic trucks and tires, these companies are making an important effort that could not only save them money, but also reduce their carbon footprint.

Waste optimization is a critical factor for reducing your carbon footprint and the proper use of waste brokers and trash brokers can help.

The lodging industry in America, with over 3,936,000 guest rooms, produces approximately 13,600,000 tons of garbage every year. Hoteliers have many opportunities to reduce waste by utilizing waste audits to establish waste prevention and recycling programs and by purchasing recycled products using a retail waste management program. Besides reducing waste and saving money, these actions can increase employee morale and Customer satisfaction as well as lower dumpster costs and create strong relationships with the managed haulers. When it comes to waste disposal and waste management, those in the hospitality industry experience a unique set of challenging needs.

A recently completed a study of solid waste management practices in American supermarkets and found that these stores generate and accumulate about 11.4 tons of solid waste per week. This consists of cardboard boxes, meat and vegetable trimmings, empty wooden produce boxes, and miscellaneous other types of waste. These wastes must be handled efficiently, following good sanitation practices, to minimize adverse impact on the receipt, storage and sale of foodstuffs. Much of the wastes generated at retail food stores are recyclable and/or reusable, but often wasted.

This is a lot of waste and Lincoln Waste Solutions has worked with the waste management sector to develop a comprehensive waste audit designed to ensure that all of your waste solutions are optimized and your waste spend is reduced.

Lincoln Waste Solutions knows that a totally green supply chain would bring a paradigm shift in supply chain management, particularly in the auto parts business. The more recycling and efficient waste management that takes place the more we are expecting to see higher levels of horizontal integration among suppliers, manufacturers and logistics service providers. The key is effective waste optimization particularly the use of waste brokers and trash brokers, after a thorough waste audit, to control the waste spend and allow competitive waste haulers to lower overhead especially on roll-offs and dumpsters.

There is growing pressure on retail businesses to act responsibly and comprehensively manage their waste in a sustainable way. In addition, the practical importance of meeting waste directives and environmental credentials has made most businesses value facilities management services to business. Shopping center waste management trends, include thorough waste management audits, an element of rate control, use of trash brokers and waste brokers as well as the outsourcing of rubbish services. Most previous thoughts on waste minimization through recycling related to municipal buildings, commercial office buildings, medical facilities, hotels, educational buildings and industrial buildings and not nearly enough on retail waste management.

Convenience stores are working hard to integrate sustainable practices into all of their everyday business operations. In 2011, Convenience stores, utilizing waste brokers and managed trash haulers saved enough energy to power the state of Texas for a full year. Convenience stores through partnerships with retail waste management firms and trash brokers sent less waste to landfills, recycled more plastic, and provided Customers with fifty five million more reusable bags – all while stocking and selling more products than ever before. Convenience stores using competitive waste haulers committed to making the world a better place, and they are just getting started. Convenience stores and neighboring counties are working together in an effort to implement convenience store recycling, lower dumpster costs and continue to conduct waste audits and study waste outsourcing in order to keep consumer prices low.
