What exactly is hard-to-manage waste? If you have it, you’ll know – it’s probably been taking up space in a basement, storage space or garage while you try to figure out what the heck to do with it.

Hard-to-manage waste is any discarded, rejected, abandoned, unwanted, or surplus material generated by retailers, manufacturers, hotels, landlords, or homeowners. It’s any waste that doesn’t fit into any other category of recyclable material.

Because this waste doesn’t fit into any of those categories, there’s no clear-cut way for an individual or company to dispose of it. Landfilling hard-to-manage waste might not be viable for any number of reasons. Almost by definition it’s a headache to find an environmentally sound solution for its handling, transportation, recycling or disposal.

For example, Miller Recycling once disposed of a shipment of carpeted cat furniture that got wet during transport and subsequently became moldy. The manufacturer needed it destroyed so the products couldn’t possibly be resold, which would have been a liability issue.

Like we did for that client, Miller Recycling can help you find a solution for your hard-to-manage waste.

We know that getting stuck with a large quantity of these materials can be an expensive and stressful prospect. Miller Recycling will make it as easy as possible for you to get rid of that hard-to-manage waste in a legally and financially responsible way so that you can move forward without that burden hanging over your head.

Exactly what solution we’ll suggest depends entirely on the situation. We’ll recover and re-market these materials to end markets in whole or in part, for reuse and/or re-manufacture. If these avenues are not possible due to condition or contamination, the material would be disposed of in an environmentally sound and safe method.
