How Much Waste Does Your Business Produce?

Running a business in the car industry is quite challenging, and it often feels like you cannot make significant changes without impacting the ROI negatively. Daily, you have countless things to track, and while it’s essential, you might ignore the amount of trash your business produces. But waste management should be at the top of your priority list because it directly impacts your return on investment. The last thing you want is for the trash cans to overflow; it would negatively impact your employees' performance and comfort, as well as your finances. Efficient waste disposal is a vital component of maintaining a professional, clean, organised, and productive workspace. The key to effectively managing your waste is to measure the volume of trash you produce accurately. This will also help you prevent overage fees. Acquire the right size of ballers and bins, and minimise the number of trips to the landfill.
