Equip the Facility. Build the Business. Ep 3: Why the Refuse Sale Is Really About the Workflow

What goes in the bin is only part of the story. The bigger opportunity is understanding how waste is collected, moved and managed.

Tera Kyaw, Sr. Manager, Brand Management (Refuse) at Rubbermaid Commercial Products, joins host Adam Fox to discuss how RCP approaches refuse and recycling as an operational system, from ergonomics and mobility to durability and ease of use.

Tera shares how frontline observations influence product development and why refuse solutions can vary across verticals. Healthcare may prioritize cleanability and hands-free disposal, education may focus on durability and budget, and commercial offices may want solutions that complement the space.

For distributor, Tera’s advice is simple: start with the customer’s needs, the waste streams they manage and local requirements before recommending a solution.

Because the right refuse solution can do more than hold waste. It can help facilities save time, reduce labor and create a better overall operation.
