Do you need to slash essential expenses?


A few years back I got a call from an associate of mine. He told me that he was working with a company that had designed a food waste digestor. Designed to digest 250kg of food waste a day. He wanted me to help ensure that it worked consistently.

I prepared some biological products for him and asked him to try it and tell me how it went. He rang back a few days later and told me that, that worked well, I now want to degrade 500kg per day.

Now there are a number of 1000kg per day units working in food factories and larger supermarkets.

Commercial waste disposal costs are now based on weight. Food waste is one of the heavier fractions.
Can I help you reduce essential costs by eliminating food waste disposal costs from your waste disposal costs?

If we can help please contact us.

Waste disposal > < Waste treatment?


dump

It depends on how toxic the waste is!

In general terms applying to facilities management the greatest volume is in general waste.

Is the cheapest rate per kilo or litre the best way to go?

For 35 years I have dealt with this question almost daily. I learnt about triple bottom line a lot of years ago, and realized that was the main aim that I was working on for every client. I am happy to know that I still have clients using our services after almost 30 years.
Waste removal companies make their money from every kilo or litre of waste removed. The more the better.
From a waste treatment perspective we look at each clients site holistically, implementing simple systems that are easily used, minimize wastes, disposal, preventative maintenance and water. Onsite waste treatment and recycling where applicable are used combined with ongoing management by assessing that systems are used consistently and properly and reporting back to operations management.
We help you manage your site and produce triple bottom line results.

The real answer to grease trap problems that cuts costs…


tundra linkedin

After 30 years of providing our clients waste treatment solutions.

Here’s what we have learnt:

  • Most grease traps don’t work. They smell, they block up and block pipes and sewer systems.
  • Every site is unique and has its own unique problems.
  • That grease trap pumping is regulated on what is not trapped.
  • Grease trap pumping is expensive, and brings problems.
  • That we successfully provide solutions, cost effectively. That are still operational for almost 30 years.

Tundra Trap is a new solution as proved by CSIRO.

Here’s what one of our proto-type sites say:

“Our company has been using products and services from Envirofriendly for over 5 years. Neil Christie and his team have made fantastic contributions to help address several waste water and kitchen waste issues at our 300 bed campsite. Our commercial kitchen serves over 1000 hot meals each day and despite observation of industry best practice, we were suffering from kitchen generated fats, oils and grease (FOG) interfering with our sewage treatment plant (STP). The provider of our STP continually blamed FOG for the horrendous STP smell and its failure to reach Environmental output parameters. We had already installed a new 4200 grease trap sold by the STP company but this was totally ineffective at trapping the FOG before it entered the STP. We were in a downward spiral of spending thousands of dollars each month on sewage pump outs, grease trap pump outs, STP clean outs and even totally recommissioning of our STP. All of this was to no avail as the FOG evets continued to impact the operations of our STP time and again.

This is where Neil Christie’s knowledge and experience came into its own. He asked us how our new STP was running and we disclosed all of our issues to him. He assured us that we were experiencing an industry wide issue that his business had created a simple solution to. Envirofriendly’s  Tundra Trap system and biological dosing program have been the only effect interventions in solving our FOG issues and allowing our STP to receive influent without FOG contamination. I cannot recommend Neil Christie and his Envirofriendly team strongly enough to any business or any level of government that is considering engaging their services.”
