The Waste reddit
Waste - implies unwanted or unusable materials. The term is often subjective (because waste to one person is not necessarily waste to another) and sometimes objectively inaccurate (for example, to send scrap metals to a landfill is to inaccurately classify them as waste, because they are recyclable).
Examples include municipal solid waste (household trash/refuse), hazardous waste, wastewater (such as sewage, which contains bodily wastes, or surface runoff), radioactive waste, and others.

Not sure if this is the place to ask but I’m looking into job positions in public works, more specifically, the solid waste department. I was hoping anyone could give me an inside scoop on what it’s like working for the department.

Hey everyone! I’m Abheek, and I’m working on a project called UpBarter, which focuses on creating a digital platform where companies can buy and sell their industrial byproducts and waste to help reduce waste and repurpose materials. We’re gathering feedback from people with relevant knowledge, and it would be really helpful if you could fill out this short form. It won’t take more than 5 minutes, and your insights would be incredibly valuable.
