Description:
Waste is a burden on all advanced societies. Kelco Recycling helps find alternatives to filling up our landfills with recyclable material.
Business Summary: The top 10 recycling states in the country recycle around 60% of their waste; with Florida recycling only about 29% of its total waste – leaving around 320,000 TONS of “un-recycled” waste each year. Kelco Recycling, Inc will solve this problem by accepting all waste materials and efficiently recycling and packaging them into products that are later sold and reused. This way, Kelco can provide an alternative disposal channel for its community.
Product/Services: Kelco Recycling applies its straight forward and one-stop approach to help companies redefine and greatly improve their waste programs. Our services include: - Totes for office buildings - Compactors / Balers for larger scale operations - Storage Trailers and hauling - Transportation and selling of recyclable materials - Full-scale waste audits - Equipment specification and management - Centralized management
Customer problem: Landfills are facing several issues regarding the disposal of recyclable materials, they are filling up and costs of disposal are rising, not to mention the inability of some landfills to no longer accept specific types of recyclable material due to recent legislation. Recycling inefficiency is not only evident in the methods used for processing of waste material, but also on the lack of companies providing services for the processing of waste
