Wastewise and Secure Pay One: Good News for the Environment
Online, August 2, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Secure Pay One wants its partners and neighbors to know what it's doing to protect the environment and reduce solid waste. We will host a seminar at your office to motivate employees to find efficient ways to reduce waste.
A fundamental part of Secure Pay One's commitment to the environment includes participation in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) innovative WasteWise program, the country's first national voluntary solid waste reduction program. WasteWise encourages organizations to reduce municipal solid waste through waste prevention, recycling and buying or manufacturing recycled products. WasteWise partners have saved thousands, even millions of dollars in purchasing costs and waste disposal fees by reducing, reusing and recycling solid waste materials.
Linda Liberatore, President of Secure Pay One, has been assisting property investors and property managers with facilitating their billing process through the use of a sophisticated rent payment system and decreasing the amount of paper used on a monthly basis.
"Not only are we working with our customers to reduce the amount of paper in the billing process, we have also instituted ways for our clients to lower their carbon footprint when setting up options such as their reminder system", Liberatore explains.
The programs we initiate, as part of our participation in WasteWise, will build on the successes of our established waste prevention and recycling efforts. A major thrust of WasteWise is waste prevention-actions that minimize or eliminate the generation of waste before it is created-with the goal of decreasing the amount of material that must be recycled or thrown away.
"Through WasteWise we plan to start our campaign to get a new business signed up endorsing WasteWise each month. We will include state and local government agencies, trade associations, nonprofit organizations, and businesses to help educate their members and constituents about the benefits of reducing solid waste. Partners join to change their own behavior and track their own internal waste reduction efforts. Participation in WasteWise will help us reduce costs and demonstrate Secure Pay One's commitment to preserve natural resources and protect the environment", Liberatore continues.
The WasteWise program has a broad and varied membership that reflects the makeup of Corporate America. Since 1994, more than 2,700 organizations have joined WasteWise, demonstrating their leadership in finding cost-effective ways to reduce waste. WasteWise partners include many of the country's leading manufacturers, retailers and service firms, spanning more than 50 different industry sectors. The program also services federal, state and local governments, tribes and other non-corporate institutions.
Joining WasteWise is another example of Secure Pay One's continued commitment to improving our environment. For more information on hosting a WasteWise seminar in your office, contact Linda Liberatore at
