The waste industry demands heavy-duty scale equipment that is built to survive long periods of service and harsh environments. From truck scales and onboard weighing systems to digital weight indicators and scale controllers, we have several heavy-duty weighing products ideal for the waste industry.
Using scales at a solid waste facility is important for a variety of reasons, including regulatory compliance, cost savings, and environmental protection.
First and foremost, using scales at a solid waste facility helps to ensure regulatory compliance. Many states and localities have laws and regulations governing the handling, processing, and disposal of solid waste. These regulations often include requirements for the accurate measurement and reporting of the weight of waste materials, which can help to ensure that waste is being properly managed and disposed of. By using scales to measure the weight of waste materials, solid waste facilities can ensure that they are in compliance with these regulations, which can help to avoid costly fines and penalties.
In addition to regulatory compliance, using scales at a solid waste facility can also help to save money. Accurate measurement of waste materials using scales allows facilities to accurately charge customers for the disposal of their waste. This can help to reduce the risk of overcharging or undercharging customers, which can lead to lost revenue and a less competitive business. In addition, using scales can help facilities to optimize their operations and identify opportunities for cost savings, such as by identifying and reducing the amount of waste that is being generated or by identifying and separating recyclable materials that can be sold to generate additional revenue.
Scales Built to Last for Years of Service
The waste industry demands heavy-duty scale equipment built to survive long periods of service and harsh environments. From truck scales and industrial floor scales to indicators and controllers and process control equipment, we have multiple brands of scales and weighing products ideal for the solid waste industry.
For waste hauling and transfer stations, the Rice Lake SURVIVOR OTR truck scales provide extreme durability and unbeatable accuracy. With 30% more steel than most competitive models, SURVIVOR truck scales are built tough from start to finish, ensuring the utmost support for waste-hauling and weighing operations. Paired with automated ticketing systems and kiosks, vehicle throughput is increased and drivers stay in their cabs. And this enhances safety for all.
To power the overall process, Rice Lake 920i scale controllers provide the capabilities waste and refuse businesses need to control processes, record data, automate applications, print customer tickets and more with intuitive features and remarkably easy-to-use interfaces.
In waste management and recycling facilities, weight plays an important role from waste inventory tracking and maintenance, to waste disposal and sustainable initiatives. Our weighing and process-control equipment help waste-industry businesses improve overall efficiency.
Benefits of a Scale at a Solid Waste Facility
Using scales at a solid waste facility can help to protect the environment. Accurate measurement of waste materials using scales can help facilities to identify and reduce the amount of waste that is being generated, which can help to reduce the overall impact of solid waste on the environment. In addition, using scales can help facilities to identify and separate recyclable materials that can be diverted from landfills and processed in an environmentally responsible manner. By doing so, facilities can play a key role in reducing the environmental impact of solid waste and promoting sustainable practices.
The use of scales at a solid waste facility is important for regulatory compliance, cost savings, and environmental protection. By accurately measuring and weighing waste materials, facilities can ensure that they are in compliance with laws and regulations, optimize their operations and reduce costs, and protect the environment. It is vitally important for solid waste facilities to prioritize the use of weighing scales in their operations.
