Butler newsletter helps businesses cut down on waste

HAMILTON — One company's trash can be another company's treasure.
It happens through a waste exchange program, and a new Butler County publication tells all about it.
“It's a free newsletter dedicated to the needs of the commercial and industrial sector of Butler County,” said Denise Belanger, editor of WasteWorks and a staff environmentalist with the Butler County Solid Waste District.
At least 60 percent of all solid waste generated in Butler County comes from business and industry, which is why the solid-waste district decided to create a newsletter geared to their needs, Ms. Belanger said.
Several waste exchange programs exist in Ohio. One program, Ohio's Materials Exchange (OMEx) in Mount Vernon, offers free advertising for materials wanted and materials available.
The first issue of WasteWorks came out in March. It will be published three or four times a year, like its residential counterpart, WasteWire.
The inaugural issue offers tips on how to reduce disposal costs, how to reduce maintenance costs, where to recycle corrugated cardboard and other office materials, and how to spend less on business operations.
WasteWorks and WasteWire are available free to all Butler County businesses and residents. To be added to the mailing list, call the Butler County Solid Waste District at 887-3653 or e-mail Denise Belanger at belangerdr@butlercountyohio.org. The newsletters also can be viewed on the solid waste district's Web site at www.butlercountyohio.org/des/default.htm.
