How to manage general and recyclable waste in hotels

Hotels are known for generating large amounts of waste due to a constant turnover of guests. Efficient waste management offers hotels a real opportunity to reduce waste and work more sustainability.

Using a baler or compactor significantly reduces the volume of waste you are dealing with, meaning reduced waste disposal costs and reduced transport costs while driving down your carbon footprint. It also allows you to reduce the number of waste collections and unnecessary vehicles disturbing guests and visitors.

A survey by phs Wastekit found that found that 41% of hospitality businesses do not own or rent a baler or compactor*. However, this equipment could save these businesses thousands of pounds in waste disposal costs every year.

Effective waste management for hotels

phs  Wastekit offers a range of waste management equipment that can efficiently compact and bale your waste.

Balers and compactors are machines that reduce the volume of your waste and package it in a way that makes it easier to manage:
  • Balers bundle recyclables, like paper, cardboard, and plastics, into bales.
  • Compactors compress large amounts of waste to a fraction of its size.

We can help you create a safer and more effective process with our CITY AND GUILDS assured baler training. This helps businesses save money by reducing the number of breakdowns caused by accidental misuse and ensuring the safe operation of your machine in line with required safety standards.

The benefits of using a baler and compactor

  • Work Towards ISO 14001 Accreditation
    ISO 14001 is an internationally recognised accreditation for environmental management systems. It focuses on the efficient use of resources and the reduction of waste.  
  • Reduce landfill tax costs
    Landfill tax represents a major expenditure for many businesses. Using a baler will significantly reduce the volume of general waste you end up adding to landfills and can cut the amount of tax you need to pay. 
  • Improve carbon footprint
    Reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill will also reduce the amount of waste collections required. As waste is collected by road vehicles, this will reduce the carbon footprint of your business.  
  • Recycle More of Your Waste
    Baling machines offer a convenient way to sort recyclable materials. They will turn this waste into bales for convenient recycling.  
  • Fewer Bins Needed
    Efficient waste management equipment will help cut down on the number of bins needed on your premises. Allowing you to reduce waste and save valuable floor space.  
  • Create a new income stream
    Cardboard is a sought-after commodity these days. Using a baler allows you to bale and sell your waste cardboard to recycling companies, bringing in extra revenue for your business.
  • Smoother event management
    Seasonal celebrations and one-off large events can cause waste to spiral out of control at hotels. Balers and compactors play a vital role in making space when waste volumes are high. 
  • Keep vermin away
    When waste areas are not managed efficiently, they not only look poor, but they can also be a magnet for vermin.
