| Great ideas! I don't consider that stuff "medical waste" though, I'd think of it as clean material (I think of medical "waste" as something that's been used & that may be contaminated.) When I had dental work done, I was dismayed at the amount of waste generated. Barrels & barrels of plastic sheeting were sent to the landfill every day, as were huge numbers of paper gowns that the dentists & techs had worn once (& if they had to leave the patient, say to get more materials, they had to throw away their gloves & get new ones.) & I bet neither they nor their waste management contractor composts or re-cycles a thing, too much liability. It's so nice to hear of someone making a difference, keeping something out of the landfill & reaping a benefit as well! |
