Re-using waste for the future

by squadron

Throughout history, recycling has been around in one form or another. Even as long ago as 400 BC signs of earlier recycling are known to have taken place. Archaeological reports show that ancient waste dumps contained less of what is known today as household waste, such as pots, tools and ash, which shows that people were, even back then, keen to reuse materials at a time when natural resources were not so freely available.

Indeed it could be argued that the old ‘rag-and-bone’ man was just an early recycler collecting unwanted goods on his horse and cart, before reusing or turning the collected items into something new.

During periods such as the World War Years, recycling and re-use were common place as natural resources became much more difficult to come by. As well as food being rationed, certain materials such as metal and fibre were largely allowed only for use by the government in support of military operations, to meet manufacturing requirements often in the production of weaponry.

Due to rising energy costs, the need to recycle aluminium increased in the seventies.. As a material aluminium uses much less energy in the production process than some other materials. Also it was much sought after because of its non rusting properties. The demand for aluminium saw the rise of scrap metal merchants who were willing to pay money in exchange for good quality metal. Also, in the 70’s in parts of the United States of America, the first vehicles were seen to be collecting waste with a separate trailer for the collection of recyclable materials being towed behind the vehicle. This was mainly large bulky items such as bedsteads and old carpets.

To the late eighties, early nineties and as the importance of managing the global environmental state increased amongst worldwide governments, the focus upon recycling really started to gather momentum. In the UK, the government imposed recycling targets upon Local Authorities and with the introduction of the new legislation upon the waste industry, recycling schemes really began to take off. The once commonly well known waste disposal companies, began to call themselves waste management companies and demonstrated through the offer of waste collection and recyclable material collection that waste needed to be managed more effectively.

Today, many hundreds of materials and products can be recycled, ranging from paper, card, glass and plastics, to mobile phones, electrical items, printer cartridges, textiles, clothing and concrete.

What is Recycling?

The term recycling describes the process of converting used materials into new or nearly new materials to avoid the need for potentially useful materials or products to be discarded.

Recycling plays a key role in a world where climate change is high on the environmental agenda. It helps to reduce the need to unnecessarily send waste materials and products to landfill or other waste disposal options. This in turn diminishes the need or the reliance upon consuming fresh or new raw materials, reduces energy use and air and water pollution, all of which contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Significant contributions to improving the environment.

Recycling is probably mostnoticeable through the recycling services now provided by local authorities for domestic refuse and recycling collections and by modern waste management companies who generally offer a full range of waste and recycling collection services. Some companies, who have traditionally focused only on the collection of recyclable products, are now extending their service offering to collect general waste as well.

Local bodies have now recognised the fact that paper recycling, cardboard recycling, glass recycling, energy from waste is good for the country in addition to good for the environment.

In the waste sector, the common promotional activity surrounds the waste hierarchy – ‘reduce, reuse, recycle and recover’. This four R slogan is a simple message designed for a far reaching audience. Think about how you can reduce your waste. Can the waste products or materials be reused? Can the waste product or material be recycled or recovered? Many questions to consider.

The waste hierarchy is a strategy which many waste management companies and local authorities consider when developing new waste management strategies. The strategy is intended to focus the mind around preventing waste being generated in the first place. Consider the options for reuse and recycling but ultimately minimise the amount of waste produced at the end of the cycle. The slogan has been adopted particularly well in the public sector.

So the emphasis is very much on the entire production process. The waste hierarchy extends much wider than to waste management companies and local authorities. Working groups have been set up to bring many sectors together to consider the entire waste cycle. For example, the manufacturer of a product needs to consider how the product is to be manufactured. Can parts be used which can later be recycled or reused? Can the amount of packaging which surrounds the product be reduced? When the product reaches the retailer, is it necessary for the product to be placed within an outer package? Once the retailer sells the product, what will the purchaser do with the unwanted elements of the purchase, i.e. the packaging? How will the packaging be collected and where will it go? Will it return to a recycling plant, for onward shipment to a reprocessing plant, where the cycle begins all over again?

How are Materials Collected for Recycling?

Legislation now dictates that all waste should be treated to divert the amount of recyclables and unnecessary waste going direct to landfill. Since 1996, UK government has enforced a landfill tax on all waste disposed of within landfill. The rate of tax has increased considerably in recent years rising from the original level of £8 per ton, to today’s rate of £40 per ton. The UK government has previously announced that this will increase further to £48 per ton by the end of 2010/11. This rate applies to all general waste streams, although there is a lower rate for inert materials. Sending waste directly to landfill is an expensive option and finding suitable methods to divert waste away from landfill is now a priority. For inert materials the rate is £2.50 per ton.

So, the message to everyone is clear, segregate your waste to reduce the volume of waste going to landfill. Traditionally, at home or at work, as soon as you place waste in the bin , it is forgotten about. Someone else will collect it and take it away. Nowadays, at home and at work, recycling is being encouraged through the provision of containers in which to place certain recyclable materials. At home, the children are often the keen recyclers.

Perhaps the most common materials to be seen being collected for recycling are paper, card, glass, metals and plastics. But the opportunity to recycle a vast number of materials or products continues to grow.

By means of training, individuals could be encouraged think ‘green energy’ so that they will participate in energy recovery techniques and enhance the use of their waste.

The methods of collecting materials or waste to be recycled is also increasing and becoming more noticeable within local communities. Dedicated collection sites, often referred to as a bring bank sites, are springing up in supermarket car parks to encourage customers of the supermarket to return such items as bottles, newspapers or cardboard to the bins on their way into the supermarket. Shoppers are therefore encouraged to bring back their recyclables.

Local Authority waste collection crews or their appointed contractors will collect refuse and recyclables from the kerbside usually at the front of your home. Collection from domestic premises generally remains the responsibility of the local council and many have now employed the provision of bins in which to collect specified recyclable materials or products. The services do vary from council to council.

In the industrial and commercial sector, waste management companies offer separate containers in which the customer deposits the appropriate waste stream or recyclable material ready for collection. The bins will often be clearly labeled as to which recyclable materials should be placed within that container or bin. Alternatively, the bins will be colour coded to identify which recyclable products should be placed within which bins. Waste management companies also may have to deal with special requests from the customer.

The key to a successful recycling initiative is residents about what can be recycled and how. In the commercial world getting the co-operation of factory employees is crucial. The introduction of any recycling scheme must ensure that in asking staff to separate waste for recycling, it does not become time consuming and affect the productivity of what employees should be doing in their work.

The Recycling Process

Various collection systems exist for the collection of the recyclable products . Whichever collection system is employed , the materials are taken to a drop off point where they will be segregated from other wastes.

To begin the recycling process from a collection point of view, the more recyclable material which can be separated at source, i.e. at home or in the work place, the more efficient it will be for the waste collector. That is why separate containers are supplied to the waste producer to encourage segregation at source. If card can be collected on a vehicle, which will collect no other waste material, the card will be kept clean and therefore will have a higher value when it reaches the processing plant. Similarly, specialist glass collection vehicles are used to collect only glass. Apart from the obvious health and safety reasons and the weight of collected glass, it will have a much higher value if the collected glass load is not contaminated with other waste.

Once collected, the recyclable materials can be taken direct to a reprocessing plant, if the load contains only that specific type of material. So a dedicated glass collection vehicle could take the load directly to a glass processing plant.

If mixed recyclables have been collected such as paper and card within the same container, it may be necessary for the collector to take the load to a recycling centre to unload and allow the load to be segregated into separate paper and card bundles for onward transport to a paper or card processing plant. Whichever method is used, the recyclable material collected will usually be sorted or washed before going through to a reprocessing plant to be converted to a new resource and ultimately used as a new product or in manufacturing.

A number of homes all over the UK are now choosing to make use of green energy for their own necessities like light and heating. Eventhough it may be expensive to install at this stage, ultimately it’ll save on expense

The Increasing Importance of Recycling

In the UK around 35% of waste collected from households is recycled or composted. Whilst in the commercial and industrial sector, the volume of waste sent to landfill has declined substantially in recent years and the volume of waste now being diverted for recycling or reuse by this sector has risen above the volumes going to landfill.

Landfill continues to play an important role in the management of waste across the UK as not all wastes can be recycled and some are more suited to landfill disposal than by any other means. However, it’s not just the increasing costs of disposing of waste directly in landfill which is making recycling a more attractive option for businesses. Landfill is becoming scarce, with some experts suggesting that the amount of void available across all UK landfill sites, has less than ten years existence remaining before all sites are deemed to be full.

In recent years, waste management companies have had to change their focus, and start to consider and invest in new technologies, such as energy from waste plants, anaerobic digestion plants and mechanical biological treatment plants, as alternatives to landfill. Local Authorities have also adapted their approaches by undertaking detailed strategic reviews as to how waste under their jurisdiction should be handled. In some cases this has meant that unitary authorities are progressing plans to introduce long term contracts, usually around 25 years in length, through which to manage their entire waste management requirements. These contracts will often include the need to build a facility through which to handle all waste generated across the city by sorting all waste streams. The contracts may also include the collection of all waste and recyclables from households across the area. So the issue of waste management is changing rapidly. The days of just throw it in the dustbin have disappeared and the advent of new technologies are upon us. The introduction of new technologies will play a huge role in the future of waste management.

Conclusion

Recycling is now a way of life and is here to stay. It has evolved over the years from something that was undertaken without any real thought behind it. The trusty rag and bone man was just trying to make a living. Today, many blue chip organisations are setting out plans for a ‘zero to landfill’ waste policy, where the intention is very clear – reduce waste, reuse waste and recycle waste, but no waste must end up in landfill. Some companies have announced ambitious target dates by which to achieve such policies.

Many homes across the country now have some form of container in which to separate waste for recycling. The need to separate newspapers, aluminium cans and plastic bottles are almost common place. Whilst in industrial and commercial sectors, there is an increasing list of items to consider for recycling such as printer cartridges, office paper, metal and electrical equipment. Even on street corners and airports you see bins to recycle such items as newspapers and drink cans.

Ideally the whole process would be a complete cycle such as it was in the days of the horse. However the advent of new technologies will accelerate further the way in which our waste is to be managed in the future, but it is highly unlikely that we will ever reach the ultimate waste free society. There will always be a need for waste to be disposed of somewhere, somehow.

Chainsaw Saftey Tips

by squadron

Chainsaws are one of the most dangerous tools that can be used in the garden and they can cause horrific injuries. Whilst it’s not mandatory to be officially trained in how to use a chainsaw for use in your own garden, it is highly recommended.  Unecessary risk can lead to severed limbs and a lifetime of regrets.

Having been trained appropriately there are a number of checks that should be made each time you plan on using your chainsaw.

Appropriate and regular maintenance is all important to assuring the safe use of a chainsaw. Unlike some other tools, you need to carry out your maintenance checks every time you use a chainsaw. Things you should check include the silencer, side plate, front and rear hand guards, the chain catcher, chain links, drive sprocket, guide bar and anti-vibration mounts.  Each should be checked for excessive wear and damage.  If you are not sure what to look for have the unit serviced at regular intervals and consider proper training.

You should also check the tension of the chain is correct and sharpened to the correct specifications. Check that the power switch works correctly and that all screws and nuts are secure, the chain brake mechanism is working correctly and that the safety catch is working properly so that you cannot throttle up the chainsaw until the safety catch has been released.

Without carrying out all of these checks, the chainsaw might be difficult to control at best and, at worse, it could cause serious injury.

Protective Clothing

It goes without saying that protective clothing is essential to your own safety.  As a minimum you should accquire a helmet, eye protectors, strong boots (preferably steel toe capped) and gloves.  There are plenty of online resouces giving additional advice but don’t neglect a visit to your local garden centre.  They will usually be able to give you advice on the type of gear favored by those who use chainsaws regularly.

Consider the Job

Before starting up the chainsaw, consider the job in hand and identify potential areas of difficulty.  If you plan on undertaking a large job e.g. bring down a whole tree then make sure you get a sufficient number of helpers and any specialist equipment to do the job safely.  Don’t risk demolishing yours or your neighbors house or bringing down power lines.  This may sound over the top (hopefully it doesn’t) but many thousands of people have caused millions of pounds of damage to property as a result of chainsaw accidents.

Use the Chainsaw Safely

Never operate a chainsaw if you’re physically fatigued or if you’ve been drinking alcohol.  Some of the worst chainsaw accidents have come about due to fatigue. You need to be alert at all times and have quick reactions. One of the most common forms of chainsaw injury occurs because of kickbacks.  A kickback happens when the teeth on the chain catch on something as they rotate around the tip of the blade. The teeth may have enough force to cause the blade to kick back violently toward you.  Allways be watchful for kickback situations and plan accordingly.

You can find further detailed information on chainsaw safety here.

If you have received appropriate training or have considerable experience of using chainsaws then you can get great deals on Stihl Chainsaw, Husqvarna Chainsaw and many other brands at the Discount Chainsaw Store.

Long Term Lets in Javea Spain

by squadron

Long term lets in Javea are a valuabe and rare commodity at the moment. Just about any decent Villa for rent in javea seems to be only for Holiday lets in javea and not for long term rentals in javea.

Some companies in javea specialise in long lets in javea, but most concentrate on the lucrative holiday rental market.

Holiday rentals have some pluses over and above long term rentals in that before and after the main holiday season, the villa is available for use by the owner and his or her friends and family.

The downside to holiday lettings is the management and logistics involved in getting the villas cleaned in between weekly rentals.

The yearly income from both long term rentals and holiday letting is about the same, so it depends whether the extra management hssles and costs are worth having the villa available for the owners own use.

Another advantage of holiday letting is that you can offer the house for sale all year round, whilst long term tenants would most probably object to their home being on the market and having agents wander round with prospective buyers in tow.

However you decide to rent out your villa in Javea, the income is almost guarenteed due to the demand for rental properties at the moment.

While demand for sales properties has declined in recent years in Spain, there soes seem to be an upturn in interest so far this year, with many agents reporting better 2009’s than 2008.

With that in mind, now may be the right time to bag a bargain and then rent it out!

At 28 pages per minute of print speed, there’s not much to quibble about. The ML 3050 can also put out up to 30ppm of Letter A-type paper stock, though all print speeds vary by the graphics richness and text clarity needs of each print job. Print resolution is good, also, at 1200dpi. Any print output will emerge looking clean, crisp and clear.

Set up is quick and easy with the ML 3050 replacement toner as the front panel folds down and you take out the old cartridge, which contains the drum and toner all in one cartridge, and then replacing it with a new cartridge.

The printer has a tiny learning curve and can suit the requirements of any user, regardless of their printer knowledge or perception.

Why Credit Repair Companies Are Needed

by squadron

Credit repair companies have gotten a “bad rap” because of the actions of a few unscrupulous agencies who take advantage of people with who have money problems. They enjoy seeing the misfortunes of others since they rake in the most profits when a person is faced with the direst of financial problems.

But fortunately this is largely a myth. These companies actually offer a very valuable service to the public. Most people are unaware they are in serious financial trouble until they can’t get a loan because of their bad credit.

Yes, it’s true that you can repair bad credit without any external help. It’s also a fact that you can become informed with information gathered from the Internet and that it’s possible to use it to improve your credit score.

But you need to be aware that correcting one’s credit score demands great effort and close follow up and focused correspondence with all the concerned parties. The credit repair companies play a vital role here in doing the difficult work, saving you time and frustration.

A good comparison might be driving or cooking. the issue isn’t whether you are able to drive or cook; but when you hire a person to do them for you, you enjoy the convenience.

A good credit repair agency can best do the job, and can ensure that you regain you financial balance much faster and easier than if you had relied on self help.

It’s impossible to compare yourself – starting on your own without prior knowledge – to a professional credit repair company with the necessary knowledge and resources at its the disposal. These agencies not only help with debts, but also teach you how best to manage your finances so you will avoid future problems.

Many credit repair companies also offer debt management counseling. Everything is possible when you apply yourself to managing your debt. You can reverse a bad credit report and improve your score, but without proper guidance on correct financial management, you will never be totally safe from the pitfalls of irresponsible financial habits. These habits will be like hidden traps for you, ready to create trouble when you least expect it.

Credit repair agencies are much needed by millions of people.
