Which Commercial Trash Compactor Is Best for My Company?

• Do you manage a business that uses trash compactors or balers to reduce the volume of waste on site, or bale recyclable commodities so they can be palletized and sold? 
• Did you buy or inherit a business that had an old trash compactor on site that you think of as a nothing more than a foul-smelling eyesore with no practical application? 
• Are you aware of the cost benefit to compacting waste? 
• Are you considering purchasing a commercial trash compactor because you are tired of paying several hundred or thousand dollars monthly for multiple dumpsters that occupy a substantial amount of space on your property? 
• Are you considering a commercial trash compactor for another reason, such as aesthetics, security, or loss prevention, but do not know where to start when considering what kind of compactor to buy?

There are about as many kinds of compactors available on the market as there are types of businesses who can use them, so it can be difficult for business owners to know where to look or what kind of compactor to consider purchasing. Global Trash Solutions (GTS) is a great source for information about what compactor will best suit your business’ needs. GTS also understands how difficult and frustrating it can be to deal with some of the companies out there that pick up waste and recyclables. We happily provide insight into the waste industry and information on how to get the best deal for service on whichever compactor is best for your business. At GTS, we pride ourselves on offering comprehensive solutions for businesses of all shapes and sizes!

At grocery stores, restaurants, casinos, resorts, and other facilities that produce large volumes of wet waste, GTS would likely recommend one of the many self-contained “GTS-SC” models that we offer, or for smaller applications like fast food restaurants with limited space, we might recommend our GTS X-press Pack series or an indoor model such as the GTS 2000. For transfer stations, recycling facilities, and distribution centers, we usually recommend horizontal balers with a conveyer system, or auto-tie balers that can produce multiple bales of all types of recyclable plastic and cardboard per hour. For recyclers with smaller operations, we offer a full line of vertical balers. We even offer drum crushers, pre-crushers (for pallets) and residential compactors for high-rise buildings and residential communities. If you would like to consult with us about what commercial compactor will best suit your needs and save you the most money, please contact us today at (866) 760-8194.  

Waste Compactors Save Fast Food Restaurants Money

• Do you own one or more fast-food restaurants or fast-casual dining establishments? 
• Have you noticed that the waste disposal expenses at your restaurants are a substantial cost to you each month? 
• Have your costs risen over the previous months and years? 
• Have you examined different ways to mitigate these costs for your business, but found this to be a daunting, if not impossible task? 
• Are you aware that each month thousands of quick-service restaurants and fast-casual dining establishments such as McDonald’s, Burger King, Panera Bread, Chick-Fil-A, and many others save money by compacting?

Waste disposal is a rising cost for practically all fast-food and fast-casual establishments. Whether sales are rising or decreasing at the restaurants, waste disposal seems to be an ever-increasing line item on the P&L statements. What some multi-unit chain store operators do not realize is that most waste haulers’ standard rate structures are based on the volume of trash collected in cubic yards. For instance, an 8 cubic yard dumpster serviced 5 times weekly may cost a restaurant $1,000.00 monthly. However, if the restaurant begins compacting their trash using an indoor or outdoor compactor (whichever is more efficient given their trash composition and space limitations) it could reduce the monthly expense to $400.00 or less. That is because they effectively cut the number of lifts and volume of trash from 40 yards per week to 16 – a 60% reduction!

Global Trash Solutions (GTS) realized this years ago, and has been spreading the good news to fast food restaurant and fast-casual restaurant owners ever since. In most cases, the compactors GTS supplies to its customers pays for itself in less than two years, and offers more than $10,000.00 annually in waste cost reduction. GTS not only supplies equipment, they facilitate the removal of old equipment and use their negotiation skills to ensure their clients always pay the best possible rate for service for the life of the business.
