Be Green and Save Some Green

I do not know anyone that does not like to save money. Many people also like to do things that are good for the environment these days too. Now when you get the chance to combine money savings and eco-friendly it does not get much better. I was talking to a friend of the family about recycling the other day and we got one the topic of Solvent Recovery. Being a regular household we usually store our left overs paints, solvents, or other toxic compounds and take them to a neighborhood turn in day. I never thought about what the collection centers do with all these items.

The friend I mentioned has a body shop. He was looking into the costs of a Solvent Recovery System. From what he has read so far he says that having your own Waste Recovery System can save a business like his because you can reuse certain solvents which saves you money and saves the environment at the same time. He is looking into what size of business is best suited to these types of machines.

The site he went to also says that doing this type of recycling lessens a business's paperwork burden with the EPA. If I bought one of those, I think I would offer the service to other businesses in the area. I wonder if he would get extra credit so to speak with the EPA if he did that?
