GTS2000 - The World’s Best Indoor Trash Compactor

Global Trash Solutions (GTS), incorporated in 2008, is now a leader in compactor production with products like the GTS2000. This revolutionary machine is known as the world’s best indoor trash compactor, but it is not the company’s first product. The company initially produced the GTS1000 compactor, targeting QSRs (quick serve restaurants) like McDonald’s. According to Peter Spano, the company’s founder, "We realized right away that we had a great business concept on our hands. The way waste haulers charge is by volume of trash produced. Not weight, but size. We knew if we could reduce the size of the trash produced, we could reduce the number of pick-ups, and therefore reduce the price for our clients."

After a year of being a reseller and distributor of the GTS1000, Peter and his team decided to design and manufacture the GTS2000. Partnering with Massachusetts-based Detector Technologies, the team of visionaries and engineers locked themselves in a room with whiteboards and pizza, brainstorming and adding features that improved the overall quality and performance of the machine. They also thoroughly addressed industry safety and efficiency concerns. The result was the GTS2000 compactor, now known as the world’s best indoor trash compactor.

Why is the GTS2000 known as the world’s best indoor trash compactor? This state-of-the-art machine can reduce waste hauling costs by 60% or more by compacting 20 bags of trash into 1. This saves clients both trash space and hauling costs. In addition, each machine comes equipped with a control panel that requires a start code for operation, ensuring only authorized users can operate it. Along with these great features, this state-of-the-art compactor is completely manufactured, bolt-by-bolt, in the USA by the GTS team. Instead of simply being resellers and distributors, GTS manufactures, sells, installs, and services the best waste equipment in the world. When clients purchase a GTS compactor, a service expert will arrive onsite to train staff to safely operate the machine and get the most out of its features. GTS master technicians take great care and pride in manufacturing each unit individually, while also servicing and maintaining them for optimum results. Sales of the GTS2000 have been so good that the company is gearing up to launch a fleet of service vehicles that will service both GTS compactors as well as all other makes and models.

Along with creating and manufacturing money-saving compactors, the GTS team can also negotiate waste hauling costs directly with trash and recycling haulers, saving clients both time and money. GTS products and services reach beyond individual clients, impacting the world as a greener waste solution. Smaller trash loads mean fewer trucks on the roads and less waste in landfills.

Cincinnati’s Dirty Dozen gets cleaned -- and a whole lot more!

We got a call this winter from the Cincinnati Metro Housing Authority. They have 12 sites throughout the city and each site uses a compactor. Easy peasy, we thought. We’ll just dispatch a technician and take care of them. Well, that’s when the conversation got interesting. Not only did the the Housing Authority need all 12 compactors serviced and cleaned in 3 BUSINESS DAYS, but to compound the challenge, each of the 12 sites used a different make, model and age of compactor!

No one else has the experienced, nation-wide network of skilled technicians that Global Trash Solutions employs. We immediately knew the right technician for the challenge. We worked with our contact to set up a schedule that worked best for each property superintendent and dispatched our technician from Detroit. Our technician strategically mapped the most efficient service routes and showed up at each site with the knowledge and tools necessary to perform cleanings and preventative maintenance on 12 different units. This was all done in the 3-day window scheduled. And guess what -- he also used the opportunity to provide individual reports on each unit with recommendations for future part replacements and additional services required to keep all the equipment operating smoothly and efficiently. No one else can provide that level of expertise and service.

While most repair companies will take 72 hours or more to get to your site, our nationwide network of experienced service techs are dispatched immediately and can be at your site making repairs within 24 hours. Our call center operates 24/7/365, so no one prioritizes your problem faster or more efficiently than we can.

Our technicians don’t just arrive faster, they are specialists in compactor repair and show up with the right tools and the right expertise to get your waste operation running smoothly again, pronto!

So, whether you have 2 compactors or 200. Give us a call today to talk about your

repair, cleaning or maintenance needs.

The Incorporation of Technology Benefits Restaurants

The incorporation of technology into the customer experience has resulted in several well-known restaurant brands making headlines lately

Some of the benefits that technology can offer restaurants are improved order accuracy, higher revenues, and in-store entertainment options. One example of the latter is Chili's, where patrons, at many locations, can now play trivia games with each other and order drinks from devices at their table. Applebee’s made public, at the conclusion of fourth quarter 2014, that they plan to deliver 1,800 tablets to restaurants throughout 2015.

In France, patrons can now order a Big Mac directly from their mobile device for future in-store pick up at McDonald’s. This ability to order directly from their smart-device eases the anxiety and pressure some customers might experience as they peruse the menu in the drive-thru lane. As a result, the option to order remotely has “significantly increased the average revenue per order”, according to market analyst Thomas Husson.

This type of “self-service” mechanism is not a new phenomenon in business. Banks have long relied on ATM’s as a convenient means to service their customers after hours, while big-box retailers such as Walmart introduced self-check-out kiosks at their stores years ago. However, until recently, technology has not played as large a role with fast-casual restaurants, and they have relied largely on employees to render services.  

Global Trash Solutions helps restaurants in their efforts to increase revenue

Global Trash Solutions specializes in off-site management of waste and recycling services, reduces the cost of waste and recycling service by an average of 38%, and provides companies with a sole point of contact for all waste and recycling needs. This translates to millions of dollars annually in savings for restaurants who utilize the services rendered by Global Trash Solutions.

In addition to streamlining waste management processes, Global Trash Solutions educates restaurants about advancements in technology related to compaction equipment and balers.

One way Global Trash Solutions helps restaurants in their efforts to increase revenue has been via trash compaction technology. Trash compactors improve logistics, minimize the time garbage trucks spend on the parking lot, and saves businesses money in the process.

Global Trash Solutions' clients are benefiting from compaction technology such as this quarter's featured product.

The GTS X-Press Pack Compactor

The X-Press Pack Compactor, is designed to save space and eliminate the mess of multiple front load containers. Less trips by the hauling company mean savings to both the customer and the hauler. Ideal for restaurants, fast food locations, shopping centers, supermarkets, hospitals, schools, nursing homes, and hotels. Simple install and simple design combine for long life and simple service. 

Ease of usage makes the X-Press Pack Compactor a perfect portable trash compactor ready to use and requires no additional sight prep such as concrete pad, anchors or channel guides.

Recycling Ideas for Home and Your Place of Business.

Businesses in the United States produce a great deal of waste through servicing their clients.  From large-scale operations, to small family run businesses, there is a continuous generation of waste.  One of the many ways to control the amount of waste and ultimately control the costs of waste removal is to recycle.

Recycling can be done at home through local recycling programs or in concert with local artist coalitions, and area crafters.

Recycling at home can be done through groups like www.freecycle.com  in your local area.  Just gather up the goods that have a potential reuse and post that a pick up is necessary.  Very easy, and the people that need or will use the items will be grateful. Local artist coalitions and groups will often know who in the area works in what medium. Meaning they may have an artist in the area that is willing to give you a reasonable sum of money and take your recyclables off your hands.                  

Artwork and furnishings created from recycled materials.

               

 

                There are many other ways to work within the community to both promote recycling and get these items out of your waste. Doing so within the community creates a positive buzz around your business, generating more customers and more clients. One easy way to do this, is by helping to sponsor an art contest in the community.  You do not need to provide funding for the contest, but you can provide the raw materials, your recyclables. Once the ball starts rolling, artists and the community can take them over.  Your business can win in multiple ways. You can reduced your waste, increase your business’ recognition within the community, and gain clientele.

                Small scale operations have the opportunity to work with crafters to utilize the materials minimally, like the glasses being created above.  Simply by cutting the top half of the glass and smoothing or beveling the edge, the crafter can create a re-saleable item. There are other crafters that create stained glass windows and lamp shades, both may purchase your recyclable to further their crafts.  If you have a great many bottles or glass needing to be recycled in your waste, this is a great option.  Www.Etsy.com  is a great resource to check the possible and appropriate pricing of these items, once created.

Recycling can be done on a large scale providing the business owner with revenue through the resale of their recyclable materials using balers and other mechanisms.

Large scale recycling can be done with cardboard, glass, metals and plastics.  There are a wide variety of balers available that be used in both large and small spaces.  A baler takes the material being recycled, like cardboard, and compresses it into a large brick that can be resold at commodity prices to go back into the consumer stream, not into landfills or burned in garbage piles.

               

Balers, like the GTS VB Baler (above), compress hundreds of pounds of cardboard boxes into transportable and saleable bales.  These bales can be stored easily because they are compressed and bound.

  

                As a business owner, recycling can pay huge dividends in the social arena and could put a sizeable amount of money back in your pocket. So, give us a call at Global Trash Solutions, and let us help you find a way to make your waste disposal and recycling a more profitable experience.

Calling Global Trash Solutions toll-free at (866) 760-8194 or visiting us at www.globaltrashsolutions.com can give you the insight into the best possible solution to reduce your waste bill and potentially turn your recyclables into cash you can reinvest in your business.
