Invention Resurfaces as Sustainable Waste Management Solution

As the human population continues to rise, so does the amount of waste it produces. In fact, World Bank estimated that 2 billion tons of waste is generated each year. That number is expected to soar to 3.4 billion tons by 2050, according to World Bank. To deal with the influx, provinces like Ontario, Canada, have adopted a sustainable method of modern waste management using Molok containers. 

“Molok containers have been around since the early 1990s, and they have really changed the way waste is dealt with,” says Rick Alischer, owner of Complete Site Services. “The containers are installed partially underground, allowing compost, garbage, cardboard and recycling to be compacted naturally. Because they are installed underground, it significantly reduces odors. In addition, the bins take up less space than traditional garbage bins since they are installed vertically.” 

In fact, 25% of Rick’s business consists of installing Molok containers while the remainder is made up of landscaping, construction, grounds maintenance and snow removal services. 

“I’ve been installing hundreds of containers in Ontario for about 15 years now,” Rick says. “Our business has gotten busier each year with many of our jobs coming from the regional municipality of Waterloo and the surrounding area.”
