Securr has long been a leader in promoting recycling efforts.  Recycling helps to preserve valuable materials that are in increasingly short supply.  The energy saved by refashioning materials that have been tossed away is enormous making the effort all the more worthwhile.  The key to making a recycling program successful will be to set out the right layout to store the various materials brought in for recycling until the loads can be sent to a reprocessing center.  By having an adequate number of containers each properly labeled to hold one of the designated materials to be collected, a recycling center will greatly improve the odds of becoming a successful operation.

See Through Containers Aid Safety

The Department of Homeland Security has determined that trash cans are a weak point in the security systems at many sites.  The containers offer terrorists a means to place explosives and dangerous substances into contact with large numbers of people.  Virtually any place that does contain large crowds of people will have trash containers available for use by all.  Such containers are necessary for people to be able to dispose of unwanted items.

Trash containers are a critical component at any site where people must wait for any length of time.  People will want to get rid of the wrappers and food waste of the snacks they have eaten.  Newspapers and other materials that they have read or no longer have use for will also be tossed aside.

Trash containers afford terrorists a unique opportunity to plant a bomb, nerve agent, or biological hazard.  No one takes notice of a person placing something into them.  The cans are so commonplace that no one thinks twice of passing by them or using them to get rid of an item to be discarded.

For the Department of Homeland Security this is a particular concern in airports, but also in bus and train stations as well.  These are places where people come and go all the time.  People wait for hours in such locales adding to the risk factors.  Recognizing the potential danger, the Department of Homeland Security issued a mandate back in 2004 directing such transportation faculties as airports, subways, train stations, and similar facilities initiate a transition to clear plastic trash receptacles or to switch to bins that are resistant to explosives.

Securr Cans Offer Security

Securr Trash Cans is an industry leader in this endeavor as well as throughout the field of waste bins.  They offer a line of trash cans and bins for recycling that have been manufactured to conform to the standards set forth in the department’s mandate.  These clear plastic containers have been engineered and designed to comply with the department’s effort to eliminate all potential risks poised by normal cans in public places.

Securr Trash Cans is a recognized leader in the waste storage field.  The company has made a commitment to create containers of clear plastic that are affordable and long lasting.  The two attributes are interconnected.  The long life of their products severely reduces the costs of having to frequently replace the containers.

More and more faculties are replacing their existing inventory of trash cans with clear plastic models manufactured by Securr.  They understand the impossibility of removing waste receptacles entirely.  They also share with the Department of Homeland Security a concern for protecting the public.

The watchword for safety in trash cans in public places is transparency.  When a receptacle can easily be seen through, it will become far more evident if threatening devices remains in clear view.

Additional information on this subject may be obtained by visiting the company website.  One may see the full range of products Securr has to offer.

Nothing Goes to Waste

In many places, there is no incentive as far as garbage collection fees go to take steps to limit the amount of waste thrown away.  Whether one is conscientious about waste management making a serious effort at all times to limit waste produced or whether one ignores such attempts completely will make no difference in the monthly bill. South Koreais one of the few places where it does make a difference what one pays.  The more garbage that must be collected, the higher the bill will be.

This system is being further refined so that the correlation between waste and fees will be as exact as it possibly can.  The system will be applied to both businesses and residents.

In many countries such as theUnited StatesandGreat Britainnearly 40 per cent of the food is just thrown away.  This happens for a host of reasons.  Supermarkets have sell by dates.  When these expire, the foods have to be discarded.  The sell by dates make it difficult for the markets to be able to donate the food to charities because it is no longer seen as fit for consumption.

Once food is brought home, it also often ends up in the garbage once it is no longer fresh.  Leftovers often end up in the rear of the refrigerator until someone decides it is finally time to throw out.

South Koreahas a comparable rate of food wastage.  The nation is famous for meals with many dishes, each with a small portion.  Such a style of cooking lends itself to wastage and leftovers which then become more wastage.  The government however has set ambitious target for reducing the amount of food tossed.

One innovative method being tested is a food waste bin that measures how much food waste is being taken in right down to the very gram.  These are set up at mass transit stations where riders are prone to toss away half eaten items purchased from vending machines. The customer is then billed this amount to their transit cards.  It has helped cut down on the proportion considerably.

Machine Opens on Command

This trash can marvel opens after being tapped by a transit card or upon receiving a credit card number.  The user then tosses their container within.

For food wastes in the home,South Koreais requiring residents to purchase four different types of bags according to the sort of food waste they are likely to produce.  These are disposed of in different fashion according to the content.  Many of these items can find use for bio-fuels, animal feed, fertilizers, and other industrial uses.

South Koreahas been challenged of late to find places to dispose of it garbage.  The country is densely populated with large urban districts that have been heavily built up.  This has made it expensive to get rid of the garbage.  At the same time, the country’s rising standard of living has meant that more garbage is being generated.

Billions of Bottles Out There

Glass is one of the most durable materials invented, but much of it is simply thrown away as glass bottles are tossed after their contents are gone.  Discarded bottles are not only unsightly, but they also pose a threat if left out in the environment.  Glass will easily shatter in such a situation, and the shards will have an extremely sharp edge.  Glass fragments can cut as well as finely honed steel.  Glass chips can puncture tires leading to accidents.  Glass can pierce the skin as well, and not just of people.  Wildlife is also often injured by pieces of glass carelessly tossed away.  Pets also fall prey to this hazard.

The materials that go into the making of glass are cheap and plentiful.  The silicates and flux agents such as boron or phosphorous are available in abundance in many places, but the process of transforming them into glass is energy intensive.  Recycling of glass requires far less energy making such efforts worthwhile in a world where energy is at a premium.

Most recycled glass is first placed into containers marked specifically for this sort of use.  The bins may be marked for colored and clear glass, or the bins may collect all sorts of glass.  In this case, sorters will separate the glass into piles containing different colors.  The bottles and other glass items are then shipped to a reprocessing plant.  Here the glass gets crushed and then melted.  The molten material is then reshaped into new bottles or other glass items.  The energy expended in this effort will be a fraction of that needed to make an entirely new batch of glass.

Europe a Leader in Glass Recycling

Most European nations are now fully committed to a variety of recycling efforts, and the reuse of glass is indicative of that commitment. Germany now recycles over 2 million tons of glass each year.  The thrust of their program involves the reuse of soda and water bottles.  The United Kingdomhas collection bins for glass in virtually every community.

Many countries now require a deposit on bottles in an effort to induce people to recycle.  Homeless people often earn money by searching through trash bins for bottles to take to a recycling center.  Businesses find there is profit to be had in recycling glass.  This can be particularly true for restaurants and bars that often run through a great number of bottles serving their patrons with refreshments.

Glass does not necessarily have to go through the reprocessing plant to get recycled.  Many artists now use glass chips in their work.  Jewelry in particular has long made use of glass which can have the sparkle and beauty of gem stones.  Paintings also can be composed of glass.  Pieces can be reduced to small chips that crate a translucent mosaic.  Bottles may also be reused as utilitarian objects such as vases.

Have you ever thought of a trash can as a weapon on the war against terrorism? We all know that preventing the threat of a terrorist attack is priority #1 for the Department of Homeland Security and now they, airports, train stations, subways and communities are deploying a clear deterrent against the threat of hidden explosives and other weapons. It is a line of DHS compliant clear trash cans and recycle bins designed, engineered and manufactured by Securr Trash Cans, an industry leader offering quality products and innovative solutions to the trash collection and recycling needs of the world.

Battling the Terrorist Threat With Trash Cans

The Department of Homeland Security “DHS recognized in 2004 that trash cans and recycle bins in airports, commuter rail stations, as well as any public building posed a threat that could be used to conceal explosive devices. The DHS issued a directive requiring commuter, transit and inter-city passenger rail system operators to

remove remove trash receptacles, except clear plastic or bomb-resistant trash containers.

Trash Cans and Recycle Bins Are a Clear Option

The only real option is the replacement of existing trash cans with DHS compliant clear trash cans and recycling bins, as removing all trash cans is unrealistic option and potential health hazard and bomb-resistant trash cans are cost prohibitive and can only be used in certain areas. Clear trash cans and recycling bins are the clear option as they are durable, attractive, functional and affordable.

How can a trash can or recycling receptacle help us protect our airports, train stations and subway stations against the threat of terrorist attacks? One obvious tactic of a terrorist attempting to pull off a successful attack is concealment of an explosive device. A new generation of Department of Homeland Security compliant clear-sided trash cans and recycling receptacles are aiding in the fight against terrorism by eliminating trash cans as a potential depository for explosives in public areas.

Terrorism Threatens Our Train Stations, Subways and Airports

USA Todayrecently reported that holes in security leave travelers vulnerable on the more than 4 billion trips they take by subway and rail each year – see Can trains, subways be protected from terrorists?. Worldwide, there have been 213 attacks on subways, trains and their stations from Jan. 1, 2005, through June 30, 2010, as well as another 197 attacks on aircraft and airports.

In the subway and rail attacks, 700 were killed and 3,262 wounded . In the aircraft and airport attacks, 238 were killed and 937 were wounded . “Logic dictates that because mass transit is ‘mass’, terrorists are interested in attacking it to maximize death, injury and panic”, says Clark Kent Ervin, the former Homeland Security Department Inspector General. In many of these cases, explosive devices were easily concealed in public area indoor and outdoor trash cans.

The nation’s vast network of more than 3,200 stations and more than 20,000 miles of track combined with the impracticality and cost of screening every passenger leave U.S. subways and rails exposed to the type of terrorist attacks 22 other nations have experienced the last five years. Eliminating a key concealment point by deploying DHS compliant trash cans and recycling recycling receptacles in and around our airports, train and subway stations is a critical step in the ongoing fight against terrorism.
