ES3 is committed to reducing its environmental impact. During the month of February 2014, ES3’s trash tonnage, at its York, PA facility, decreased by 40% compared with January and February of last year. February 2014 has had the least amount of compactor trash leaving the facility.
The ES3 Sanitation Team is the driving force responsible for this accomplishment. The reduction is attributable to better processes that ensure that all recyclable material is correctly handled. Without ES3’s state-of-the-art waste and packaging compost program, this success would not have been possible. Bill Chirdon, Food Safety Manager at ES3, explains the process: “most packaging materials such as plastic, steel, aluminum, paper, wood, corrugate, and all food products can be made into high quality compost over a 16 week compost cycle. It is extremely rare to have a composting operation that can handle these types of wastes, which is why ES3’s operation is world class.”
The Sanitation Team also works to separate and recycle everything possible, which includes pulling recyclables from trash containers. Every pound of recyclables is one less pound in the trash compactor. These efforts continue to drive ES3’s focus on waste reduction, recycling, and repurposing.
