Consider these costs: • On-Premise Laundry: If you operate an on-premise laundry, are you accounting for all of the costs necessary to run that facility, including all labor, benefit, water, energy and merchandise costs? • Storage Space: How much space in the facility is reserved for storing reusable and disposable products? Can that space be reduced and used for revenue generation activities either by improving control of textile inventory or reducing the amount of disposable products in use? • Outsourcing: If you are operating an on-premise laundry, what savings would you realize by outsourcing and converting the laundry to revenue-generation space? • Disposable of Solid Waste/Hazardous Waste: How much does it cost per ton to remove disposable product solid and hazardous waste?
