We have easy ways to help! Lots of people now consider recycling a personal no-brainer. You have your blue plastic bins and bottle drives. Scale it all up, and together, the biggest benefits may be the impact that our recycling programs have on our communities. Recycling programs encourage many people to recycle. If you and your neighbors didn’t have curbside recycling bins, how reliably would you actually go out of your way to dispose of your plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and cardboard? We all like the easy button. Communities that invest in solid recycling infrastructure will ultimately see fewer recyclable materials incinerated or put into landfills. Everyone can help their community with some good R & R & R (reduce, reuse and recycle), but if you’re not sure where to start, we at BVR have some easy ways to get started. Recycle at home Most of us live in areas with an option for curbside recycling. It is important that you know how to use it. But let’s face it, it can be confusing what you can recycle and what you can’t because it may vary depending on where you live. You can’t just throw anything into your recycling bin (then it would just be the trash). Items going into your recycling bin should be empty, clean, dry, and free of food and liquids. Once you know what can be recycled in your area, help make it easy for pick-up by checking that the right materials are in the appropriate containers. Recycle in the Garden The key to recycling in the garden is compost! Millions of tons of garden waste end up in landfill sites every year, but grass cuttings, twigs, and leaves are excellent sources of nutrients and can be used to make compost. To further reduce your contribution to local landfills, compost can turn tea bags, fruit and vegetable peelings, egg shells, newspaper, cardboard, and more into top-quality soil in a matter of six months. If you aren’t interested in starting your own compost heap, most communities offer compost bins, which will bring your compostable goods to a composting center and turn them into soil. If You Don’t Love Something, Let It Go Marie Kondo is making organizing fun again and providing great opportunities to reuse what you no longer love . Lots of charities welcome your donations. Groups like Freecycle exist to help you get rid of useful objects that you no longer have use for. Like they say: one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Give away clothes that don’t fit, the boxes that you used from your last move, those scented soaps your in-laws sent you that disagree with your sensibilities. Make it a rule in your house that nothing in your home goes in the trash and you’ll be amazed at the clever ways you’ll come up with re-homing your goods. This is a great project for Earth Day coming up on April 22. Clean out your stuff and head over to BVR or Premier Metal Buyers for your scrap metal to recycle it. Anticipate Recycling So you’ve cleaned out your house. Now what? In addition to purchasing recycled goods, keep an eye out for recyclable goods. Not just goods that come in recyclable packaging . Whenever you purchase something packaged, think about how you can repurpose the packaging. Give preference to products that can be easily upgraded or used for parts so that you don’t have to trash it if a single part breaks. Products that are fused together or “unfixable,” while often cheaper up front, are frequently unrecyclable. Finding ways to work together with your community to recycle your stuff (maybe have a trading day for reusing it?) all goes toward a healthier planet. Hey, we all have to live here – let’s make it a clean place.

It's September, which means that Texans are keeping their eyes on the Gulf. It's Hurricane Season! Each year, BVR Waste and Recycling, a BIG Company , dedicates ourselves to educating and supporting the Gulf Coast states that are impacted by tropical storms. We want you to be prepared for severe weather brought by the 2021 Hurricane Season and know that we are here to help when needed. Be Prepared First, always be prepared. You are encouraged to plan now for the next big storm. Know the evacuation routes and stay up to date with the latest forecast. Also, it is important to ensure that you have adequate supplies. Make sure you have enough medicine, food and water to last until relief arrives if you are unable to evacuate. FEMA recommends that you have at least enough supplies for you and each of your family members for 72 hours during a disaster situation. However, based upon BIG staff experiences, we recommend 96 hours for sufficient support. Power Loss Second, prepare for extended power and water loss. You can store water in the bath tub for use in flushing toilets or cleaning; however, your cannot use this water for drinking unless it has been boiled. Gallon jugs or cases of drinking water can be stored easily and used to support your family. Buy now to prevent from experiencing depleted shelves as storms approach. Additionally, ensure you have food on hand that can be prepared with no electricity. Remember, planning ahead is essential. Lastly, you should obtain ice early to refrigerate any perishable items. Generator Safety Be sure to follow the recommended safety steps to prevent fire or inhalation of fumes that could lead to injury or death when using a generator. Never use your generator inside your home or near an open window. This allows harmful gasses to accumulate and overwhelm the inhabitants of the residence. Also, ensure that any fuel stored for the operation of the generator is stored in an approved container, away from flames or other sources of ignition. Remember, planning ahead will help you to have the necessary supplies on hand to survive until resources are able to move into your area and assist your community. BIG Will Be There Lastly, if you sustain damage to your home or business, our teams will be ready to provide the necessary services to remove the storm debris. We will provide you with invoices that can be submitted to your insurance provider for reimbursement as part of the cleanup. Our knowledgeable Director of Safety and Emergency Response will be happy to work with you to plan ahead for the next disaster, ensuring that your business is up and running as soon as possible. Call 979-830-9060 to learn more about how BVR and  Brannon Industrial Group  can help you stay ahead of the storm .

More than half of Americans do not know how to recycle, and it’s kind of a big deal. According to this new study commissioned by Covanta, 62% of Americans worry that they are recycling incorrectly, and this statistic is both extremely worrisome and disheartening to hear – especially so soon after Earth Day. According to the EPA , recycling reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, conserves natural resources, increases economic security by tapping a domestic source of materials, prevents pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw materials, and saves energy. This only works, however, when we don’t throw “soiled” materials in with our recyclables. If enough soiled material makes its way into a recycling container, the load is considered to be contaminated and will be sent to a landfill. Recyclable Paper: office paper, newspaper, brown paper bags, magazines, junk mail, phone books Plastic: plastic bottles and containers: 1 – PET: Soda bottles, oven-ready meal trays, water bottles, etc. 2 – HDPE: Milk bottles, detergent bottles, spray bottles, etc. Aluminum (don’t forget to bring your scrap metal to Premier Metal Buyers in Brenham) Cardboard Glass: cleaned bottles and jars Empty aerosol cans Wrapping paper Construction lumber/trees Your old car ( Premier Metal Buyers offers auto-crushing services ) You can check whether or not an item is recyclable using the universal recycling symbol – three arrows chasing each other in a triangle. Plastics will have a number inside of this recycling symbol, which will help you identify plastics that can and cannot be recycled. Non-Recyclable Some papers: wax paper, used napkins and paper towels, dryer sheets Plastics without a recycling number (mentioned above): trash bags, Ziplock bags, bubble wrap, cereal box bags, plastic wrap, plastic store bags, and candy wrappers. Tempered glass Propane cylinders Lightbulbs Ceramics Textiles and clothing Pillows and blankets Electronic waste Medical supplies Paint (Bonus Round!) Tricky Non-Recyclables Even when we’re being vigilant, sometimes thing slip through the cracks and we end up recycling items which seem or would be recyclable , but are not. Greasy pizza boxes Unwashed aluminum Unwashed plastic bottles Styrofoam – this one can be extra tricky because some styrofoam will have the #6 on it. Hangers – plastic and metal If you have any questions about what you can recycle, feel free to call us at 979-260-0006.

It’s no secret that recent changes in China’s policy around accepting trash and recycling are affecting many local recycling programs. The good news is that for both business and residential customers of BVR, a BIG (Brannon Industrial Group) company, you can feel comfortable that your recycling efforts are not in vain. BVR manages hundreds of tons a day that are hauled to the waste and recycling center. Using a unique sorting process, BVR is able to divert 73% of this material into the recycling markets. But it gets even better! That recycling doesn’t divert to China. BIG’s family of services includes Premier Metal Buyers , a scrap metal company that provides that recycling material to brokers and mills for use in the supply chain, essentially creating a closed loop for materials to be used over again. In addition to that, all recyclables are shipped to US based consumers! So how you can you be smart about starting your own business/residential recycling program? BIG recommends 4 areas to consider. 1. Establish your recycling potential • Find out how much trash is being collected at your business or complex. • How many dumpsters of what size do you have? • How often do they get collected? • Estimate the waste disposal cost savings when you start to recycle. • Evaluate space options for recycling containers. 2. Design a user-friendly recycling program • Select recycling bins and place them in areas that will minimize misuse or contamination. • Always place recycling containers as close as possible to trash containers. • People can empty bins from inside their space into larger bins in common areas. • Clearly identify recycling areas with large signs that include pictures of what can and can’t be recycled. • Place information on bulletin boards and in newsletters. • Develop a collection plan. How many recycling dumpsters will you need? Can you replace some of your trash dumpsters with recycling dumpsters? 3. Educate staff/residents and promote the program • Evaluate the program often. Check for contamination to determine if more education is needed. • Provide updates on the program in complex newsletters and bulletin boards, so residents will know that their efforts are making a difference. • Revisit often with residents or staff to optimize collection. Continually improve your recycling plan. 4. Don’t forget the people part! • You need buy in from management, staff or residents along with good training and education. • Make it easy and simple for everyone to do their part. • Develop a way to gather feedback to keep improving or identify any issues. • Signage and clear instructions help guide everyone. Factors outside of your control don’t have to sideline your recycling program. The benefits of recycling – cost savings, reducing your carbon footprint, reusing materials – remain despite challenges that may appear. We can help you review your current program or help you get one started that will benefit your business or complex.

For most, it's time for "Spring Cleaning"! Chances are, you’ll find plenty of items that you can get rid of to free up valuable space. However, it’s not always as simple as picking up whatever is lying around and throwing it in the trash can. If you don't fully know what counts as household hazardous waste, you’re certainly not alone. Here’s a quick guide of the "Do-s and Don't-s" you need to know about household hazardous waste disposal. Once you’re able to identify which products in your home are considered hazardous waste materials, the next step is learning how to properly — and safely — dispose of them when the time comes. DO: Read Product Labels for Proper Disposal Instructions Before getting rid of anything that may be considered household hazardous waste, read the product label for specific disposal instructions to avoid a potentially unsafe situation. DON’T: Pour Household Hazardous Waste Materials Down the Drain or Dump Them Outside According to the EPA , flushing hazardous waste down the drain or dumping it on the ground can pollute the environment, contaminate septic tanks/water treatment systems, and even pose a health hazard to sanitation workers. DON’T: Throw Household Hazardous Waste Out with the Regular Trash Not every product can be tossed in a trash can and sent to a landfill. In fact, in some places, it’s illegal to dispose of household hazardous waste in a regular trash bin. Learn to identify which products in your home require special handling when being disposed of, and follow the protocol for safely getting rid of them. DO: Get Familiar with Your Local Household Hazardous Waste Collection Services and Regulations If you need to toss some products that are considered household hazardous waste, the first step is to read up on the regulations and laws for household hazardous waste disposal in your area. Then, look up local household hazardous waste collection services, which can recycle or dispose of these products in a safe, environmentally friendly way. In our local area, there are two areas for help with disposal. In the Brazos Valley, contact Household Hazardous Waste (979.764.3809). In Washington County, contact the City of Brenham (979.922.5958). You can always search for disposal recommendations by product name within the BVR app available in the Apple App Store and in Google Play (only available for Brenham residents) . You can also check your schedule for trash pick up and recycling through the app or by visiting our website .

When it comes to managing a construction site, safety and efficiency are often the top priorities. However, one critical aspect that is sometimes overlooked is providing proper sanitation facilities. Portable sanitation rentals are essential for maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for workers, enhancing productivity and morale on-site. BVR Waste & Recycling has been a part of many successful construction sites. We learned early on that there are a lot of logistical elements that play a part in a successful site. Portable sanitation is a key player.  Here’s Why Portable Sanitation Rentals Matter on Construction Sites Construction sites are dynamic environments where workers constantly move, and access to proper restroom facilities is crucial. Here’s why portable sanitation rentals are a must-have for any construction project : Health and Hygiene  Portable restrooms and handwash stations are vital in maintaining health and hygiene on-site. They help prevent the spread of diseases and ensure that workers have access to clean and sanitary facilities. This is especially important in construction, where workers often handle materials and substances that can carry germs and bacteria. Convenience and Accessibility  Having porta potties or luxury restroom trailers on-site provides convenience for workers . It allows them to stay focused on their tasks without leaving the site in search of restrooms. This saves time and reduces the risk of accidents or delays caused by workers leaving the site. Compliance with Regulations  Many local and federal regulations require construction sites to provide adequate restroom facilities for workers. Portable sanitation rentals ensure that your site complies with these regulations, avoiding potential fines and legal issues. Boosting Morale and Productivity  A comfortable work environment is key to maintaining high worker morale. By providing clean and well-maintained restroom facilities, you show your team that you value their well-being. This can lead to increased job satisfaction, reduced turnover, and, ultimately, higher productivity on-site. Portable Sanitation Options for Construction Sites At BVR Waste & Recycling, we offer a range of portable sanitation solutions tailored to meet the needs of your construction site: Standard Porta Potties:  Our standard porta potties are durable, easy to set up, and come equipped with necessary sanitation supplies.

These trailers come with running water, flushing toilets, and even climate control, providing a level of comfort that’s unmatched in the portable sanitation industry. Handwash Stations:  Handwash stations are essential for maintaining hygiene on-site. These stations are equipped with soap, water, and paper towels, ensuring that workers can clean up properly after handling materials or using the restroom. Investing in portable sanitation rentals is a smart move for any construction project. Not only does it ensure compliance with regulations, but it also promotes a healthy, safe, and comfortable work environment.

Roll-off dumpster rentals have become an indispensable tool for construction professionals looking to streamline their waste disposal processes. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of roll-off dumpster rentals, including efficiency, safety, cost-effectiveness, and more. Whether you're handling a small renovation or a large-scale construction project, understanding these advantages will help you optimize your waste management strategy. Efficiency: Streamlining Cleanup and Site Organization One of the primary benefits of using roll-off dumpsters is the efficiency they bring to your construction site. With dedicated containers available on-site, cleanup is significantly accelerated. Instead of hauling debris in and out of your project area, your team can quickly and easily dispose of waste directly into the dumpster. This not only speeds up the cleanup process but also keeps the site organized, ensuring that materials and tools remain in their designated areas, reducing clutter, and improving overall workflow. Safety: Reducing Hazards and Ensuring a Clear Site A clean construction site is a safe construction site. Debris and waste can present serious hazards, including tripping risks and exposure to potentially harmful materials. By utilizing roll-off dumpsters, you ensure that these dangers are minimized. Keeping your site free of scattered debris helps maintain a safer working environment, ultimately reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. Cost-Effectiveness: Managing Waste Disposal Expenses Effective waste management can have a significant impact on your project’s budget. Roll-off dumpster rentals offer a cost-effective solution by providing a centralized disposal point. This reduces the need for multiple trips to disposal sites and streamlines the overall waste removal process. Additionally, with various dumpster sizes available, you can select the right size for your project, avoiding unnecessary costs associated with over- or under-sized containers. Versatile Dumpster Sizes: Tailoring Solutions to Your Project Different construction projects require different waste management solutions. Roll-off dumpsters come in various sizes, including popular options like the 30-yard and 40-yard roll-off dumpsters. These versatile sizes ensure that you have the appropriate container for your specific project needs, whether it’s a small residential renovation or a large commercial build. Choosing the right size helps optimize space and manage waste more effectively. Our expert sales team can assist you in selecting the ideal dumpster size and determining the optimal placement to minimize workplace hazards. Flexible Rentals: Short-Term and Long-Term Options Another significant advantage of roll-off dumpster rentals is their flexibility. Whether you need a dumpster for a short-term project or a long-term construction endeavor, rental options are available to accommodate your needs. Short-term rentals are ideal for quick cleanups, while long-term rentals are suited for ongoing projects. Additionally, convenient scheduling ensures that your waste management needs are met without disrupting your project’s timeline.

Celebrating National Recycling Week The second week of November is typically known as National Recycling Week. We see this as a time to reflect on the importance of recycling in preserving our environment and conserving valuable resources. At BVR Waste & Recycling, we're dedicated to making the world cleaner and more sustainable. You’re never too old for a proper recycling refresher- how to do it well and why it matters. We have several other articles to read to extend your recycling knowledge. The importance of recycling cannot be overstated. For the sake of the community you’re in, it's crucial not to contaminate the recycling process with non-recyclable items. Here’s how we recommend achieving that. The Basics of Recycling Recycling is the process of converting used materials into new, useful products. It's a critical part of reducing waste and conserving our planet's resources. Here's a simple guide to get you started on your recycling journey: 1. Know What Can Be Recycled: Paper and cardboard: Newspapers, magazines, cardboard boxes, office paper, and more. Glass: Bottles and jars (clear, green, and brown). Plastic: Bottles, containers, and packaging labeled with recycling symbols (look for numbers 1-7). Metal: Aluminum cans, steel cans, and tin cans. Read about the journey of a recycled can HERE! 2. Clean and Empty Containers: Rinse out food containers, bottles, and jars to remove any residue. This helps prevent contamination and ensures a higher quality of recycled materials. 3. Separate Materials: Keep different materials separate to maintain their quality. Use separate bins or bags for paper, glass, plastic, and metal. 4. Avoid Hazardous Materials: Do not put hazardous materials like batteries, electronics, or chemicals in your recycling bin. These can be dangerous and must be disposed of properly. 5. Say No to Plastic Bags: Plastic bags can clog recycling machinery. Instead, take them to a dedicated drop-off location at your local grocery store. Read about the benefits of paper bags HERE. 6. Check Local Guidelines: Different areas may have specific guidelines for recycling. Familiarize yourself with your local recycling program to ensure you follow the correct procedures. If you’re a resident of Washington County, view our acceptable materials document below. The Impact of Contamination With proper practice in mind, here’s why it's crucial to avoid contaminating the recycling process: 1. Preserving Quality: Contamination with non-recyclable items like food waste, plastic bags, or hazardous materials lowers the quality of recycled materials. This can lead to products of lower quality and value. For example, if one household throws their food in their recycle bin, and our trucks pick it up, it can infect the whole neighborhood’s meticulously separated recyclables. 2. Preventing Damage to Equipment: Recycling facilities use specialized machinery to process materials. Contaminants can damage this equipment, leading to costly repairs and downtime. 3. Reducing Environmental Impact: Contaminated materials often end up in landfills or are incinerated, contributing to environmental harm. Proper recycling ensures materials are reused and repurposed, minimizing waste. 4. Maintaining Market Demand: High-quality recycled materials are in demand by manufacturers. Contaminated materials are less valuable and may not find a market, reducing the incentive for recycling. As we celebrate National Recycling Week, remember that every small effort makes a big difference. By following these simple steps and avoiding contamination, we can contribute to a cleaner, greener planet. BVR Waste & Recycling is committed to supporting you on your recycling journey. Together, we can make a positive impact on our environment and build a more sustainable future. Happy recycling!
