Hit the 50,000 pound mark on beef trim this month and it snuck up on me
I never tracked trim weight before but once I started keeping a tally, hitting 50,000 pounds of beef trim in a single month really showed me how much we were tossing without thinking has anyone else ever run the numbers on their scrap?

Throwing away trimmings adds up faster than most people realize. You can save a solid chunk of change by grinding those scraps into burger meat instead of tossing them. Around here we started using the bigger trimmings for stock bones and the smaller bits go straight into the grinder. It kept a lot more money in the register and the customers actually like knowing the burgers are fresh ground. If you track it for a few months the numbers will probably convince you to change how you handle it too.
