Hotel Waste Collection

General waste in hotels encompasses non-recyclable rubbish generated from room cleaning, kitchen activities, and disposing of worn-out items like sheets.

Commercial food waste in hotels encompasses leftovers, unused ingredients, and preparation scraps from cafes, guest rooms, and restaurants.

Glass bottles collected from guest rooms and the hotel bar can be fully recycled at British facilities with a dedicated commercial glass recycling service.

A dedicated weekly commercial cardboard recycling service is the most cost-effective way for hotels to dispose of cardboard that comes with deliveries of goods and supplies.

A commercial dry mixed recycling service can conveniently manage a mix of  materials such as paper, plastic shampoo bottles, shower caps and other commonly recycled items.

A dedicated sanitary waste collection service helps maintain a hygienic environment in guest rooms and staff toilets, and prevents issues with toilet blockages.

General waste bins, typically placed in guest rooms, lobbies, back offices, and outdoor waste areas, collect non-recyclable rubbish such as packaging, wrappers, used napkins, and other miscellaneous waste.

These bins handle waste that cannot be sorted into recycling or specialised categories, helping to keep all areas of the hotel clean and free of litter.

Recycling bins, often located in conference areas, dining spaces, and staff break rooms, are designed for materials like paper, cardboard, plastics, cans, and glass bottles.

By placing these bins in high-traffic areas, hotels encourage guests and staff to recyclables from general waste, reducing landfill dependency and promoting sustainable practices.

Food waste bins, primarily located in kitchens, dining areas, and food preparation zones, are essential for collecting food waste such as leftover food, expired ingredients, and kitchen scraps.

By keeping these bins close to food preparation and dining areas, hotels can streamline waste disposal, support composting or bioenergy initiatives, and minimise food waste contamination in general bins.

Glass recycling bins, typically found in bars, dining areas, and event spaces, are used to collect beer and wine bottles, jars, and other glass containers.

Placing these bins in areas where glass is frequently disposed of ensures efficient collection and prevents contamination of mixed recycling, maximising the recycling potential of glass materials.

Cardboard recycling bins are essential for managing the large quantities of packaging materials hotels receive daily. In kitchens, for example, cardboard boxes from ingredient deliveries can pile up quickly.

These bins, commonly placed in kitchens, storage areas, and receiving docks, provide an efficient way to collect and store cardboard waste for dedicated recycling.

Sanitary waste bins, installed in guest bathrooms, female public toilets, and staff washrooms, handle items such as sanitary pads, tampons, incontinence pads, and nappies.

Their placement ensures a clean, hygienic, and odour-free environment.
