More room for luxury

Troublesome waste handling

Behind a well running hotel is a solid waste solution. The more time the staff spends on waste handling, the less time they have to spend on the more important task of servicing the guests.

A baler saves time, money and reduces the CO2 emissions.

Reduction of 3/4 of the dumpsters

Expensive daily container haulings

Prior to installing the low profile baler from Bramidan, the hotel would dispose of over twenty small container-loads of waste every day.

In the spring of 2007, Bramidan changed this when they installed a baler model X25 HD low-profile, in the hotel basement. Since then, daily waste output has amounted to only four small dumpsters. The hotel has saved a significant amount in dumpster rental and hauling fees. This updated waste disposal system is environmentally beneficial as well as saving the staff time breaking down boxes.

Much easier workflow

The hotel is buzzing with busy members of staff – providing each guest with a luxury experience requires hard work backstage. To the hotel staff the new waste disposal system has lightened their workload. Twenty containers take up a lot of space and there used to be severe regulations on the handling of the tons of hotel waste: “The containers could only be pulled out on the pavement at 5 am, when most of the staff was gone! The hotel is located in a highly touristy area and a lot of people are strolling late at night. Local authorities required that we pull the containers out just before their collection. Otherwise, the hotel would be fined”.

As the amount of waste has been reduced from twenty to four container-loads, authorities have become less restrictive – since the hotel waste no longer blocks the entire pavement. “The containers can now be pulled out on the pavement at 2 am, when the staff is still on duty which is a great help”, George concludes.

Thanks to the baler we now sort our waste types.
