Frequently asked questions
-
What does Food & Beverage Manufacturing waste management include?
Food and beverage manufacturing waste management covers high-volume production streams: production byproducts and organics, plastics, pallets, packaging, chemicals, and general waste. Waste Solutions Canada designs the right streams for each plant. It coordinates vendors, equipment, pickup schedules, and reporting across Canada to improve service and reduce total waste costs for production facilities and processing plants.
-
What affects cost the most for this industry?
Key drivers are container size, pickup frequency, material weight/volume, and contamination. For multi-site programs, vendor consistency and reporting needs also impact scope.
-
Do you provide equipment like compactors or balers?
Yes. We recommend compactors and balers to reduce pickups and improve recovery for packaging streams like cardboard and film.
-
Can you manage regulated waste streams from production or maintenance?
Where applicable, yes. We coordinate hazardous waste disposal and documentation (manifests/certificates) for regulated materials.
-
How do you reduce hauling costs in high-volume facilities?
We right-size containers, optimize pickup frequency, and improve stream separation to reduce unnecessary hauls and contamination fees.
