One of the more promising things from a practical environmental stewardship perspective these days is the push to restrict the extent to which perishables are packaged in plastic. People at ground level in any number of different occupations can see the genuine nature of the need for that, and that applies to use here at Load n\u2019 lift to at least some extent too. It\u2019s not uncommon for us to see plastic waste that needs to be properly redirected when we pick up our disposal bin rentals in Trenton and Colborne Ontario areas and we always like to stress with our business how ALL waste is always 100% disposed of properly after it leaves the site.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Getting back to a bigger picture perspective though, here in Canada and all along our massive border with the USA we are always happy to have Americans as our neighbors. We have always learned a lot from each other, and it\u2019s indeed always been a very mutually beneficial relationship between the two countries. In this instance we may well be wise to take the lead from what\u2019s going on down South if we want to improve plastic recycling rates in Canada, and rates for all types of recycling actually.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We may specialize in dumpster rentals<\/a> in Trenton and Colborne and waste disposal is definitely what we do best. But for this month\u2019s entry we\u2019re going to look at a really smart trend that is starting with goods manufacturers in the USA who make products that need to come in some type of hard-shell packaging.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Scan Code \/ In the Know<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We have similar entities in Canada that serve the same purposes as the Consumer Brands Association and Recycling Partnership in the USA. But at this time it\u2019s only the 2 in the States that are teaming up to provide American consumers with up-to-date, localized recycling instructions that are found in plain view directly on the product\u2019s packaging. And all of this is made possible with one of the more notable technological developments in recent memory \u2013 QR code scanning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Consumer brands has introduced a program called SmartLabel, and it is based on a digital QR code labeling platform that lets consumers scan the thousands of products already using SmartLabel to access The Recycling Partnership\u2019s Recycle Check. There they will find a package-specific, data-driven information to help them identify and move forward with the best and most responsible method for recycling the product and \/ or its packaging.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is obviously a huge plus, as there has been plenty of consumer confusion about how and where recycling is best done, and by incorporating local recycling information too SmartLabel allows consumers to determine how the proper recycling products may differ based on the ZIP code where they live. This should eliminate common questions about what is acceptable for recycling and relevant information like whether a cap should stay on, or a label should be peeled off.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Darn good thing jobsite cleanup with dumpster rentals in Belleville and elsewhere in Ontario doesn\u2019t require anywhere near as much of you when you\u2019re getting rid of waste on a much larger scale. Keep in mind our Colborne and Trenton disposal bin rentals are fully insured and always placed with your property integrity in mind, but these same people will probably keen to be better with recycling as it is.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Getting It Right<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Consumers can scan the QR code on any package for SmartLabel products that now have Recycle Check integrated, and they then enter their zip code or allow location permissions to receive clear instructions on how and whether to recycle that product in their specific location.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is getting off the ground slowly, but that\u2019s to be expected. The current, fragmented recycling framework across the US currently has a patchwork of nearly 10,000 local recycling programs throughout the country. But each tends to have their own set of rules, and there\u2019s research that indicates that 78% of respondents look at packaging labels to know whether a product is recyclable. But of them 63% report still being confused about proper recycling methods, even after looking at the label.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Call Load n\u2019 Lift<\/a> first for your waste disposal in Trenton and Colborne needs and see to it that it gets done right the first time. We can have disposal bin rentals on site the same day much of the time and we always collect them and ensure that materials are disposed of in a responsible manner and in adherence to Ontario Province regulations related to waste and trash disposal, and we\u2019re also able to do Ontario hazmat disposal too. Prompt and complete service is a priority here, and we always aim to have customers call us again when they have the same waste or trash disposal needs in the future.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
