PREMIER MANAGEMENT PERFECTS FOOD WASTE HAULING SYSTEM
While waste generators know diverting food waste will provide environmental benefits and reduce greenhouse gases, it is important to generators to be able to reduce their overall waste costs too. A good food waste recycling hauling system is one which reduces costs both to generators who sign on and to the hauler itself. Costs can be reduced in two different areas—1) tipping fees for each ton of food waste sent, compared against landfill tipping fees, and 2) reduced hauling costs resulting from a more efficient hauling system.
Premier Management has consistently worked to perfect a system which reduces costs in both areas. Food waste is hauled to recycling options which charge tipping fees lower than adjacent landfills. And Premier has consistently looked to perfect its hauling equipment and system to make the process of hauling as cheap as possible for all involved.
Premier worked with Michael Manna, a food waste recycling expert, to develop a system which will site either a compactor or wheeled carts at the generator, depending on the needs of the latter. For those using the cart system, Premier invested in trucks which would allow the carts to be tipped by a mechanical arm, which reduces labor costs and possible risk of employee injury.
Premier’s sister company, Central Jersey Waste, will be bringing pollution-reducing recycling trucks (fueled by natural gas) to its Hamilton, New Jersey routes starting in 2009.
