Waste Is a Route, Not a Corner — and the Cardboard Is an Income

The waste area is the last rectangle drawn on a yard plan and the first thing to go wrong. Here is waste as a seven-step route from the department that makes it to the vehicle that removes it — separation at source, a baler where the cardboard volume is, sealed and chilled organics, a wash-down enclosure that drains through an interceptor, and a hardstand timed clear of deliveries — and why the same decisions that keep the back door clean turn the cardboard into an income line.
