Waste Management

Waste that piles up on a warehouse floor isn't just an appearance issue — it's a safety hazard, an audit risk, and often a sign of a scheduling problem rather than a volume problem. Luka Consulting Group manages container drop-off and pickup scheduling so waste stays under control without your team having to chase it.

What's Included

What's included in waste management

Container scheduling

Setting up drop-off and pickup cadence matched to your actual waste volume.

Waste stream review

Understanding what's being generated — cardboard, shrink wrap, pallets, general waste — and how it should be sorted or diverted.

Site cleanliness support

Keeping the waste stream from becoming a walking hazard or fire code issue.

Vendor coordination

Managing the relationship with pickup providers so it's one less thing on your plate.

Baler & compactor maintenance

Maintenance and service for cardboard balers and waste compactors — plus bale wire supply — so equipment breakdowns don't stall your waste stream.

Our Approach

How we approach it

  1. Site walk — observe current waste generation and pain points.
  2. Stream review — identify what's being generated and how.
  3. Scheduling setup — match container drop-off/pickup cadence to actual volume.
  4. Ongoing coordination — manage vendor relationship and adjust cadence as needed.

  • You've had safety or audit findings related to housekeeping.
  • Pickup scheduling is inconsistent or reactive rather than planned.
  • Your baler or compactor keeps going down, or has no regular maintenance plan.

FAQ

Common questions about waste management

Do you handle hazardous waste?

Waste management services focus on general warehouse waste streams: cardboard, packaging, pallets, and general refuse. Hazardous waste requires specialized handling — ask during your consultation about your specific waste stream.

Can you set up recycling or cardboard diversion separately from general waste?

Yes, container scheduling can be set up for separate streams where that reduces cost or supports your sustainability goals.

How is pickup frequency determined?

Based on your actual waste generation rate, observed on-site, rather than a generic schedule.

Do you service balers and compactors?

Yes. Baler and compactor maintenance is part of the waste management service, alongside container scheduling, so equipment downtime doesn't become a bottleneck in your waste stream.
