Reduce Waste: Spring Cleaning…in the Fall

There is something about the arrival of fresh spring air and blossoming foliage that makes us do a double-take at the stuff in our homes once a year. Items or clothing we have outgrown or simply do not wear. Electronics that are broken. And presents from Aunt Agnes that we place in the closet for “safekeeping.”

What if we did this in our businesses? And what if we didn’t wait until after the last snow melts?

Well, we might be like the Department of Toxic Substances Control in California with an annual savings of more than $92,000 in our pockets. The department found that state-issued cell phones were being significantly underutilized, so the service plans for nearly 200 phones were terminated.
