Know the Opportunities General Mill Can Offer You

Many companies that pay to have recyclable waste hauled away are missing a great opportunity to actually increase their own net income and become an active participant in reducing the negative impact of waster on our environment.

General Mill Supply recovers and reprocesses paper and plastic waste products into raw material form that can be used by plastic molders and paper mills to manufacture products.  Our goal is to be able to find the market for your recyclable waste while generating revenue for your business, which in turn reduces landfill volumes, reduces cost and improves the environment.

The Facts

Material waste directly affects the bottom line – net income.  Organizations across the country are saving millions of dollars by reducing waste. For any business or organization, managing solid waste is a problem.  Recyclable materials are now utilized by companies that manufacture everything from newsprint, boxboard, corrugated and printing paper to paint additives, asphalt fillers, plastic lumber, containers, carpet padding and automotive parts.  An important factor of waste reduction programs is the environmental impact. Less solid waste means fewer landfills and a cleaner environment.  The fact is, many companies that pay to have recyclable material hauled away are potentially missing a great opportunity because a majority of the material may have inherent value. At the very least a recycling program acts as a cost reduction.  Under favorable market conditions it can produce a significant positive cash flow.
