More and more waste haulers are now offering organics recycling and composting services to their customers. Organics recycling is beneficial to restaurant owners, especially when most of their garbage consists of leftover food. Many companies such as Panera Bread have achieved 75 % landfill diversion by implementing aggressive recycling initiatives, including organic recycling and single-stream recycling (recycling of glass, paper, plastic, and cardboard all in one container). For some restaurants, purchasing indoor or outdoor compaction equipment is the answer to the waste problem. Indoor compactors compact up to 15 bags into 1 which dramatically reduces hauling costs. Indoor compactors also prevent bags from piling up on by the back door, which improves aesthetics and cuts down on shrinkage.

Since most restaurant owners are busy trying to run their business, many have opted to outsource their garbage issues to Global Trash Solutions. GTS is an industry expert that is almost totally focused on restaurant garbage. Since over 80% of our clients are restaurants, we have experience in streamlining waste and recycling processes for everything from quick service restaurants to fast-casual restaurants to fine dining. We have more than 1200 McDonald’s operators under management and have saved our McDonald’s clients over 4.2 Million per year on waste removal! We have stayed up late developing formulas and proprietary software specifically tailored to solve the garbage problems that plague restaurant owners! Please call us today so we can help.

Help preserve our forests, keep our trees standing tall, and help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere which provides habitats for animals and helps prevent erosion of the soil. When the lack of oxygen is in the landfill, this will cause decomposition that draws the greenhouse methane and carbon dioxide. This can lead to rising global temperatures, sea level change and other effects on our climate.  Landfill disposal costs are slashed when you reduce waste volume, every ton of paper takes 3 cubic yards and valuable landfill space.

A key component to a successful waste reduction program is the proper training of each employee; waste reduction requires everyone’s participation,not just the business owner.  Contact Global Trash Solution at 1-800-760-8194 and our professional staff will help you understand how much trash your business generates and the amount you can reduce through reduction practices, recycling and reuse.  Global Trash Solutions will conduct monthly audits to make sure your program has reduced the amount of waste produced and we will monitor your pick up schedule and container size to make sure you are saving money.

Indoor compactors are very powerful and can compact up to 15 standard bags of trash into a one. The trash is compacted into a cube that is wheeled out to the dumpster on a device called a lift cart and cranked up so that it can be dumped. Some businesses like indoor trash compactors because they save space in the back of the building, and take care of the pile of trash that normally sits by the back door. Outdoor commercial trash compactors such as self-contained and vertical compactors do not have as great of a ratio and usually compact about 3:1 or 4:1; nevertheless they can be a viable alternative to regular dumpsters because they hold so much trash. Outdoor vertical compactors can hold anywhere from 18-32 cubic yards of loose trash before being picked up, whereas a 40 yard compactor can hold as much as 120 cubic yards.

There are many things to consider when investigating what type of waste equipment will best fit your needs. The GTS team reviews all options for our clients and we love to help our customers pick out the most economical and durable equipment on the market. When utilized properly, trash compactors can be a big time saver and money saver for businesses, especially when they generate huge piles of trash.

Different types of businesses have different needs when it comes to their trash service.  Most large restaurants use 15-40 cubic yard self-contained compactors because the container that holds the trash is sealed and liquid-tight, which prevents bad odor and unsightly messes. The compactors usually hold 3-4X as much trash as a traditional dumpster would which can save a business owner a lot of money, especially when they are only picked up as needed. Apartment buildings generally prefer a chute-fed dumpster compactor because residents can simply drop their trash down a chute and it goes right into the dumpster.

You don’t want this to happen to you

It is important for a business to weigh all of the options when deciding what the best solution is for trash removal, and the consultants at GTS are industry experts that offer unbiased advice on the most efficient and cost-effective solution for handling the garbage at all types of businesses. Many companies offer compaction equipment, but are “hands off” when it comes to helping their customers get the best price for disposal. GTS offers a complementary consulting service with the purchase of our equipment, so you will know you are getting the best rates AND the best equipment.
