Industrial waste management is a crucial service for any business whose processes include manufacturing or production. Industrial activities produce a significant amount of waste, and without a comprehensive waste disposal program, the health and safety of your employees may be at risk. With so many different categories of industrial waste, it’s important to understand what materials can be reused and recycled, and how to properly manage and reduce waste disposal. Here are some facts about the different categories of industrial waste.

Solid Waste

In industrial services, solid waste includes a variety of different materials, including paper, cardboard, plastics, packaging materials, wood, and scrap metal. Some of these materials can be reused and recycled by a recycling center. If you don’t have a comprehensive waste management plan that includes recycling, your waste disposal is not going to be as cost-effective or environmentally friendly as it could be. A recycling center can process the majority of industrial solid waste, effectively reducing your waste disposal costs.

Toxic and Hazardous Waste

Toxic and hazardous waste is comprised of materials that can cause serious health and safety problems if waste disposal is not handled correctly. This type of waste typically includes dangerous byproducts materials generated by factories, farms, construction sites, laboratories, garages, hospitals, and certain production and manufacturing plants. The governments regulate toxic and hazardous waste disposal. This waste disposal is only legal at special designated facilities around the country.
