Source separation bins

Creating a recycling system in your office can be easy, Smart Earth Recycling (AES) has helped many businesses to create a workable and efficient recycling system.
Once you have determined what to recycle, the logistics of collection systems need to be considered.
The use of specific bins for selected waste streams is a great point at which to start.
Smart Earth Recycling (AES) can provide these bins, and work with you to determine how often the collection of these recyclables is necessary.

Collection of bins and logistics

Smart Earth Recycling (AES) can offer a number of logistical solutions to ensure your recycling programme is cost effective and easy to use.
Purpose built rear lift and taut liner trucks are used to ensure the most cost efficient collection process is adopted.
Smaller bins can be emptied in to larger bins with bin lifters to ensure the minimal collection frequency is used reducing the amount of time a truck needs to visit your site, reducing risk and exposure to large trucks.

Education

It is also important to educate your staff on what materials are to be accepted for recycling.
The use of signage and other educational aids for staff members will ensure that the recyclable systems set up are adhered to.
Each Smart Earth Recycling (AES) Educational Officer has over 25 years experience in the industry and continually keeps up with new technologies and processes.
Smart Earth Recycling (AES) is also a member of a number of associations including Business Chamber and Waste Contractors.

Products that can be recycled

Products like paper and cardboard should not end up in landfill. Many different configurations in bins are available to ensure all paper and cardboard from envelopes to large paper roles are separated from other waste streams.
Paper and cardboard are baled in to export bales and sent over seas to pulp mills, these products are then made in to paper and cardboard for re sale back to the market.

Plastics
Plastic products, plastic is another resource that can be recycled all plastic can be separated from other waste streams and diverted from landfills.
Plastic is baled and sent to smelters for melting and recasting to be made in to new containers.

Glass
Glass is another product that can be recycled.
Bottle crushing machines and separate glass collections are available for this waste type so separating it from other waste streams is important.
Glass is ground down and reused in building materials.
