WASHINGTON, D.C.—An emerging online waste removal sourcing agent and management system is tackling the concerns of home and business owners who want to reduce waste and implement a green waste program for their infrastructures. Grid Waste, started by D.C. entrepreneur Walker Lunn (founder of Envirelation, a D.C. composting service provider serving businesses throughout the D.C. metropolitan area), is connecting waste generators nationwide, with green waste haulers. Co-mingled recycling, single-stream recycling, paper and cardboard recycling and even organic recycling/composting are made available via the website’s interface.
Understanding today’s society and its increased awareness of the ecosystem, Grid Waste hopes to provide the resources and tools needed to become more environmentally conscious. The online-based system offers homes and businesses the option of looking for alternative methods of waste disposal besides the standard municipal solid waste option. By introducing these selections, the company is encouraging waste generators to go beyond disposing their trash into a landfill.
“Implementing a recycling and composting program in your home and business can be cumbersome and costly,” Jessica Han, the sales and marketing coordinator behind the company, explains. “But through Grid Waste, we hope to cut down the cost and the time spent managing these services. Our system is designed with the interest of the waste generators in mind, collecting bids from waste haulers to guarantee our members the lowest rates. With our interface users are able to track and measure their services, so managing the extra waste services will be easy and quick. We would love to see waste generators nationwide take advantage of the Grid Waste system to practice more sustainable methods of waste removal.”
