Hauling Cost Reduction
The Waste
Challenge
Waste
and associated hauling costs are a huge issue for any organization seeking to
save money and keep budgets in check. Cost reductions, however, while a key goal, aren’t the only issue you
face.
Even
without the hauling costs, waste can have a negative impact on your whole
operation.
Organic and inorganic waste accumulates and has to be stored
and managed until it can be hauled somewhere. - There are issues with employees whose paid time making
routine trips to the dumpster may be better spent with more productive work,
these trips may also provide opportunities for distractions and prolonged
breaks.
- Unfortunately, back and forth walks to the dumpster can also
become a security concern, facilitating the theft of your organization’s
property as it “goes out with the trash.”
- Food waste provides breeding grounds for dangerous bacteria
and is attractive to vermin.
- In areas where garbage disposers are not allowed, organic
wastes must be stored until they can be hauled away. This creates runoff,
smells and generally unsanitary conditions. Or, valuable refrigeration or
freezer space has to be used to store organic waste.
Somat
Solutions
We can help reduce the volume of waste
and transform it into a material that can more easily be stored for hauling.
Somat’s Pulpers and Somat DeHydrator Systems can reduce waste volume 8:1
(87.5%) and Shredders can reduce waste volume by
9 to 1 (93%).
Pulpers take food service waste and mix
it with water to create a pulpable slurry that is approximately 95% liquid and
5% solids. The slurry can then be transported to a dehydrator, which removes most of the water and discharges the
semi-dry pulp into a container for disposal. The extracted water can be re-used
in the pulping process. Shredders grind and shred waste, drain it of excess
water and compact it to create an ideal mixture for composting.
The
cost savings realized can in many cases offset the cost of equipment—to learn
