In case you missed it, last month Brannon Industrial Group announced an Earth Day Contest called "Reuse Your Recyclables"! The goal of this competition was to educate each other on what materials are recyclable and to challenge ourselves to think outside of the box in how we can be repurposing everyday items. We’re excited to announce that the competition is now closed, and we’ve officially selected our winners! As you might remember, this was a virtual competition throughout the whole Brazos Valley to make the most creatively functional item ONLY using recyclable materials. Recyclable materials mainly included: plastic, paper, metal, glass, aluminum, steel, wood, and cardboard. Furthermore, in order to be considered for the top prizes, projects must have an operable function, solve a problem, or serve a purpose. Our definition of functional was: completing or fulfilling a predetermined task. And now for the best part… drumroll, please… the winners of the 2023 Brannon Industrial Group Earth Day Craft Competition are… First Place: Reid with “Bottles Up! It’s Game Time!” Second Place: Kathy with “Recycled Bird Feeders” Third Place: Wyatt with “Kachow! Mack-truck” Our first-place craft is an ingenious birthday party game constructed of recycled crates and wine bottles. Reid even added a thematic flair by painting all of the bottles to match his cowboy birthday theme! Judges notes: “This project possessed the functionality out of all of the submissions! And it’s just SO cute!” “I loved how the bottles were recycled into a fun game that families and friends can enjoy together...and the painted cow print was a playful, creative design!” Our second-place project is so practical it makes you wonder why we don’t all make some! Kathy has filled her yard with beautiful birdfeeders made solely from recyclable materials. Kathy commented, “It’s a great way to keep our birds happy, and I enjoy watching them as well as recycling.” Well said, Kathy! We totally agree! Judges notes: “The bird feeders are such a sustainable and thoughtful project… which is the whole point of Earth Day! Well done!” “The bird feeders were cleverly recycled out of everyday items people commonly purchase at the grocery store. What a creative way to not only recycle but also take care of the nature and birds around us!” Our third-place craft has the WOW factor! For Wyatt’s Cars-themed birthday party, he constructed (an almost life-sized!) Mack truck face using only paper and cardboard boxes. This was a great idea that can be replicated in all kinds of shapes and themes. Great thinking, Wyatt! Judges notes: “This was such a cute and unique idea! The design was so well executed and well designed… I’m very impressed!” “The cardboard birthday party truck was adorable! Such a fun way to recycle cardboard while creating memories with your kids!” A huge thank you to all who participated in our BIG Earth Day Craft Competition. But the fun doesn’t have to stop here. We encourage everyone to take time to appreciate our great planet by reducing, reusing, or recycling.

As the world becomes increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability, businesses are under more pressure than ever to reduce their environmental impact. One of the most effective ways to do this is by optimizing your recycling efforts. Not only is recycling better for the planet, but it can also save your business money in the long run. BVR Waste and Recycling strives to be an industry leader in providing high quality service with solutions to support your waste management as your business grows. Let’s explore some practical advice for businesses looking to optimize their recycling efforts, from implementing a waste audit to partnering with a trusted waste management company. Environmental Benefits Recycling is one of the most effective ways for businesses to reduce their environmental impact. By recycling materials like paper, plastic, and aluminum, businesses can reduce their carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, and prevent waste from ending up in landfills. It offers a number of significant environmental benefits that can help businesses reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future. One of the primary benefits of recycling is it helps to conserve natural resources by reducing the need for new raw materials. When materials are recycled, they can be transformed into new products, reducing the demand for virgin materials that must be extracted from the earth. Recycling helps to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Landfills are one of the largest sources of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. Conserving energy is another big benefit of recycling materials as it requires less energy to produce new products than it does to extract raw materials and manufacture products from scratch. Just recycling aluminum requires 95% less energy than producing new aluminum and that is something easily implemented daily in any business. Water pollution and the conservation of water resources can be reduced with recycling efforts. Manufacturing requires large amounts of water, and the extraction of raw materials can contribute to water pollution. By recycling materials, businesses can reduce the amount of water that is needed to produce new products, as well as the amount of water that is contaminated during the manufacturing process. Financial Benefits Recycling can save a company money in the long run with proper waste management processes. Businesses can save on disposal fees and potentially earn revenue by selling recyclable materials. Recycling can help a business identify inefficiencies in their operations and implement cost-saving measures. The first step in optimizing recycling efforts is to conduct a waste audit. This involves analyzing the business's waste stream to identify the types of materials that are being generated and how they are being disposed of. By conducting a waste audit, it identifies areas where waste can be reduced, increase recycling, and potentially save money. To conduct a waste audit, gather data on your business's waste stream. This could involve sorting and weighing waste, analyzing trash, recycling bins, and reviewing purchasing practices. Once this data is collected, opportunities can be identified for waste reduction and recycling. The next step is to set recycling goals for the business. These goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time bound. For example, one goal would be to increase the business's recycling rate by 20% within the next year. By setting recycling goals, it creates a roadmap for the business's recycling efforts and tracks progress over time. This can help the business stay motivated and focused on achieving recycling targets. Another important aspect of optimizing recycling efforts is to educate employees about recycling best practices. This could involve providing training on how to properly sort and dispose of recyclable materials, as well as educating employees on the environmental and financial benefits of recycling. By educating employees, it creates a culture of sustainability within the business and ensures that everyone is working together to achieve the company's' recycling goals. In closing, partnering with a trusted waste management company is key to optimizing recycling efforts. A waste management company can provide tools and expertise needed to properly manage a company’s waste stream, from providing recycling bins to helping identify cost-saving opportunities.BVR Waste and Recycling is committed to sustainability and has a track record of delivering high-quality service. We offer a wide range of waste management solutions with experts that can customize the job to fit your business needs. Give us a call today.

In case you missed it, last week Brannon Industrial Group announced our Earth Day Craft Competition: Reuse Your Recyclables! The goal of this competition is to educate each other on what materials are recyclable and to challenge ourselves to think outside of the box in how we can be repurposing everyday items. Reusing and recycling are important habits to reduce waste and protect the environment. However, not all materials are created equal when it comes to recyclability. In this blog post, we will explore what materials are considered to be recyclable. Aka… what items can be used in our Earth Day celebration! Paper and Cardboard: Paper and cardboard are some of the most commonly recycled materials. They can be easily processed into new paper products such as tissue, paper towels, and cardboard boxes. Recycling paper and cardboard helps reduce the number of trees cut down to make new paper products, which in turn helps to conserve forests and their ecosystems. Plastic: Plastic is a versatile material that is used in a variety of products. However, not all types of plastic are recyclable. The most commonly recycled plastics include PET (polyethylene terephthalate) used in water bottles, HDPE (high-density polyethylene) used in milk jugs and detergent bottles, and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) used in pipes and vinyl siding. It's important to note that plastic bags are not typically accepted in curbside recycling, but many grocery stores have recycling programs for them. Glass: Glass is a highly recyclable material that can be processed into new glass products without any loss in quality. Glass containers such as jars and bottles are the most commonly recycled glass items. Recycling glass helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and conserves natural resources. Metals: Metals are highly recyclable and can be processed into new products without any loss in quality. Aluminum cans, steel cans, and scrap metal are the most commonly recycled metal items. Recycling metals helps conserve natural resources and reduces the need for mining and extracting new metals from the earth. Electronics: Electronics such as computers, cell phones, and televisions contain valuable materials such as gold, copper, and silver that can be recycled. Recycling electronics helps reduce the amount of electronic waste sent to landfills and conserves natural resources. In the instance that you and your family are not participating in our Earth Day Craft Competition and are simply looking to recycle items around your house, click below to download our BVR Acceptable Materials informational flier. We hope that everyone participates in this fun and educational activity in celebration of our great planet! Happy crafting!

Landscaping your backyard can be an exciting project that can transform your outdoor living space into a beautiful and functional area for you and your family to enjoy. Many times, people get overwhelmed and don’t know a good starting point. In this blog, we'll share some tips for landscaping your backyard and the benefits of having a roll off dumpster on the project. The first step in landscaping your backyard is to create a plan. Determine what you want to achieve with your space, and then sketch out a rough design.There are great unlimited resources online to research for types of plants , grasses, trees, and bushes. This will help you to visualize your end results and determine what you like and dislike. Take into account the amount of time needed to maintain the plants once they are established. If you are implementing an automatic watering system that will be most beneficial and cut down on maintenance. Otherwise, be mindful of your plant selections as summertime can be quite a commitment to keep the plants alive in the south. The next important step is to determine a budget for your project. Decide how much you will be spending on materials and labor and then prioritize your desires accordingly. This will help you to avoid overspending and ensure that you can complete your project within your budget. When it comes to landscaping, it's important to focus on the basics. This includes things like adding trees and shrubs, creating a focal point, and defining borders. These elements will provide the foundation for your landscaping and create a cohesive look for your backyard. Another point to consider is the climate in your area. You want to choose plants and trees or shrubs that are well suited for your region. Blooming plants with flowers usually require more watering and maintenance than say agave plants or cactus. The type of soil on your property determines how well your plants will grow or if a certain soil additive is needed. Lastly, if you live in a rural area with wildlife be sure to select plants that are deer resistant. For example , deer love all types of rose bushes especially drift roses. A deer will eat pretty much every part of the rose plant, including the foliage, blooms, and buds. They will sometimes even eat thorny canes on your rose bushes and love the new growth.Choose plants that are easy to maintain and don't require excessive watering or pruning. This will help to ensure that your landscaping looks great year-round without requiring too much effort on your part.Patios, pathways and retaining walls will all add functionality to your outdoor living space and make it easier to enjoy. Hard elements like rock and pebble are easy additions to flowerbeds and are virtually maintenance free. Now that we've covered some tips for landscaping your backyard, let us suggest renting a roll off dumpster from BVR Waste and Recycling and talk about the benefits of having a dumpster on site. Landscaping projects can generate a lot of debris, including dirt, rocks, and plant materials. Having a roll off dumpster on your project makes it easy to dispose of this debris without having to make multiple trips to the dump. It can cut down on time to transport and cost in overall waste removal. Having a roll off dumpster can also increase safety for any hired workers on the property. By keeping debris contained in the dumpster, you reduce the risk of someone tripping or falling and reduce the risk of liability while the project is in the installation phase. The dumpster will make the project work more efficiently and quickly. An added benefit is that when the dumpster is removed at the end of the project, all of the waste and trash is removed. It’s a cost-effective way to start off fresh with your new landscaping and have the property clean and neat. At BVR Waste and Recycling we are always looking to encourage people to make an environmentally positive impact on our earth. Landscaping is beneficial for the environment in so many ways and it helps to improve air and water quality. By adding plants and trees, landscaping provides not only aesthetic beauty but habitats for wildlife as well. We want to support every effort our clients make to better our environment. Give us a call at BVR Waste and Recycling and one of our team of experts will work to meet your needs and requests for the project you are tackling.

They provide a convenient and efficient way to manage waste and debris. If you're in College Station, Texas, and need a roll-off dumpster, you'll find a variety of options to suit your needs.

As technology continues to evolve, so does our dependence on lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are found in a wide range of electronic devices, from smartphones and laptops to electric vehicles and power grids. However, with the increasing demand for these batteries comes a growing concern for their proper disposal. At BVR Waste & Recycling, we don’t handle the disposal of lithium-ion batteries. However, improper disposal of these batteries can lead to risk such as fire hazards and severe environmental impact. Although we don’t accept these items, we want to discuss the importance of properly recycling them. So what are lithium-ion batteries? Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable batteries that store energy chemically in lithium-ions. They are widely used in portable electronic devices and systems, electric vehicles, and stationary energy storage systems. Compared to other types of batteries, lithium-ion batteries have a high energy density, a longer lifespan, and can be recharged hundreds of times before they start to degrade. The risks of improper disposal: When lithium-ion batteries are improperly disposed of, they can end up in landfills where the toxic materials can leak into the soil and groundwater, leading to pollution and potential health risks. Lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which are common materials found in these batteries, are toxic and flammable. Improper disposal can also lead to explosive fires, as the chemicals in the batteries can react with each other. The benefits of proper recycling: Recycling lithium-ion batteries helps to recover valuable materials and reduce the demand for new raw materials, reducing the environmental impact of mining and manufacturing. Recycling also helps to conserve resources and energy, as recycling materials uses less energy than producing new ones. Furthermore, recycling batteries keeps toxic materials out of landfills and reduces the risk of fires and explosions caused by battery chemicals. Properly recycling lithium-ion batteries is essential for protecting human health and the environment. Even though we do not accept ion batteries at BVR, there are still options available for safe and responsible disposal. By recycling batteries, we can reduce waste, conserve resources, and promote sustainable practices. We have a responsibility to recycle our batteries responsibly, and to encourage others to do the same. Contact our waste and recycling experts today to inquire about the proper disposal of ion-lithium batteries in your area.

BVR Waste and Recycling plays a vital role in helping municipalities manage and dispose of their waste in a responsible and environmentally friendly manner. We work closely with cities and towns to develop and implement waste management programs that are both effective and cost-efficient. Here are some of the specific ways that we help municipalities achieve their waste management goals. One of the primary ways in which BVR Waste and Recycling can assist municipalities is by providing collection and transportation services for a wide range of waste materials. This includes everything from household trash and recyclables to construction debris. By handling the collection and transportation of waste, we allow municipalities to focus on other important tasks, such as infrastructure maintenance and public safety. In addition to collection and transportation services, BVR also plays a key role in the processing and disposal of waste.

This not only helps to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, but it also conserves natural resources and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Another important way in which we companies help municipalities is by providing educational resources and outreach programs. These programs are designed to teach individuals and businesses about the importance of waste reduction and recycling, as well as how to properly dispose of varied materials. By increasing awareness and understanding of these issues, these programs can help to reduce the overall amount of waste generated in a community. BVR Waste and Recycling also works with municipalities to develop and implement waste reduction initiatives. This may include offering incentives for businesses and households that recycle a certain number of materials or implementing policies that encourage the use of reusable products. By taking a proactive approach to waste reduction, these initiatives can help to reduce the overall cost of waste management for municipalities. In addition to the environmental benefits, we also help municipalities save money by providing cost-effective waste management solutions. BVR Waste and Recycling has the resources and expertise to find new markets for recycled materials. This can help to offset the cost of waste collection and processing, ultimately saving municipalities money. Overall, BVR Waste and Recycling plays a vital role in helping municipalities manage their waste in a responsible and sustainable manner. By providing collection and transportation services, processing and disposing of waste materials, offering educational resources, and developing waste reduction initiatives, we help to protect the environment, conserve natural resources, and reduce the overall cost of waste management for municipalities.
