BEST Tip of the Week: Did you know that the average person creates 4.2 pounds of trash a day? For some waste vendors, the cost of a container of recycled material is less than the cost of those same materials going into a landfill. This can be by a substantial factor; 2.5 times or more. If you get the right recycling vendor and process in place, you can lower your overall waste bill and introduce recycling too! Learn more simple ways to save AND have a positive impact our community at FurmanBEST.biz.
