General waste typically encompasses non-recyclable materials that businesses generate daily. This includes items like:
- Packaging not suited for recycling
- Non-recyclable office materials
- Broken items not classified under hazardous waste
- Miscellaneous waste that doesn’t fit into specific recycling categories
While the goal is to minimize general waste by maximizing recycling, there remains a need to efficiently manage what’s left.
