Last Week’s Speaker: Tim Bolhuis from Pellitteri Waste Systems on the latest in waste management & recycling. Tim has been with the company for a long time and seen all the changes in the industry. Lots of artificial intelligence technology involved in the sorting of materials to keep the greatest amount out of the landfills. The company moved into shredding sensitive documents more than fifteen years ago, and into a residential curbside pickup as well. They now handle curbside pickup for more than 50,000 homes. Prices paid for materials are down in the industry right now, but the company continues to innovate. Some helpful steps we can take: 1) nothing smaller than a Post-it, 2) rinse things out, and 3) recycle plastic bags only in bulk (put a bunch of them into a single bag).
