To DO or Not To Do Recycling - Top 10 Reasons

Jan. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- As companies begin the New Year, they are facing increasing pressure to decide what they should do to reduce wastes & to recycle.. Although escalating waste disposal costs create an incentive to act, tough economic conditions create doubts about what they should do.

To highlight this dilemma, here is a list of the Top 10 Reasons TO DO or NOT TO DO recycling:

                    TO DO

7. We’ll save time                                                            
6. Our employees will appreciate it  
5. It’ll help the environment                                                                                                                                        
4. We’ll look good to our customers & community

1. It makes business sense                                                                                                                                                                          
                                                                                 
                                                         
            NOT  TO  DO

10. Not gotten around to it
9. Don’t think it’s worth it
8. Waiting until the economy improves
7. We’re too small (or too large)
6.  No one’s gonna pressure US into going green      
5. Too much time/effort required                                                                                          
4. Too complicated
3. We’re in business to make money, not to please environmentalists      
2. There’s plenty of land available for wastes                                                                                                                                                                          
1. Government will take care of it
                                                                     

So what should businesses do? The ambiguous, cop-out sounding answer is that “it depends”. That’s because the only way to determine whether it’s worthwhile to decrease their waste volume & recycle is to specifically calculate the likely impact on their particular situation. Fortunately there is a tool available for doing this: “Guide to Calculate Savings from Waste Disposal & Recycling”.

This Free Guide] provides helpful information, including tables showing overall savings in relation to the cost of equipment. It also includes formulas they can use to calculate their likely “Break-Even” level (where the savings offset the cost of the equipment); “Payback” (how long it will take for savings to equal the cost of equipment); and” Return on Investment” (the percentage return they get on their cost of equipment). This Guide is in a “workbook” format so companies can just plug in their own figures to make the calculations for their particular operations.

Many companies are surprised to find that they can actually come out ahead money-wise, frequently with full payback from their equipment investment within 2 years or less. On the other hand, some companies’ calculations may show that the equipment would cost more than what they would save. This 11 page Guide can be useful for all types of companies and organizations -regardless of industry categories or size of operations - since they all have to deal with disposing of their wastes. It can be especially useful for those involved in waste management.

“We encourage companies & organizations to use this Guide to see if they can save money by recycling & reducing the volume of their wastes. They may be pleasantly surprised at the results” according to Paul Juhnke, President of Waste Disposal Equipment Co, the developer of the Guide.If anyone has additional reasons “to do” or “not to do”, they are invited to submit them to us and we will include them on our list.
