WHO WE WORK WITH

Healthcare Facilities

Did you know that of the total amount of waste generated by health-care activities, 85% is general, non-hazardous waste, i.e. waste that is comparable to your domestic waste? The remaining 15% is considered hazardous material that may be infectious, toxic or radioactive.

Hospitals in the US produce more than 5.9 million tons of waste annually and produce 33lbs of medical waste per day per staffed bed. The numbers are staggering but think of these figures as an opportunity to make a significant impact on waste diversion!

— Health Care facilities are loaded with prime locations to collect recyclables and waste, and making sure you have the right containers for each job is step one. Smaller capacity bins should be used at desks and larger capacity bins should be used in high traffic areas. Custom signage and label options can educate staff, patients, and visitors on your recycling program while ensuring that material is sorted correctly.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Resorts

Our experience working with hotels and resorts has taught us two things. 1. Hotels & Resorts generate more waste than most realize. The average hotel guest creates about 2.2 lbs of waste per stay and more than half of it is paper, plastic and cardboard. 2. Containers need to be durable and practical for everyday use, yet aesthetically pleasing to suit each hotels’ unique décor. Hotel operators should consider implementing a proper recycling & waste program to maximize their ROI on removal.

Janitorial Services

Litter, apart from being aesthetically unappealing, it has direct financial, environmental and health consequences to individuals, organizations and societies at large.

Here at Busch Systems, we offer a variety of cost-effective indoor and outdoor waste receptacles suitable for every industry. These garbage cans are designed to reduce litter and maximize servicing efficiencies so you can spend less time worrying about refuse collection and more time saving money with wholesale commercial trash cans from Busch Systems.

Go beyond consumers’ higher standards & build brand loyalty.

Consumers are highly motivated to associate with companies that are aligned with their values and authentically “walk the talk”. Start walking with highly customizable recycling & waste stations from Busch Systems.

Retail stores generate a lot of waste, much of which can be recycled. Excessive packaging, including corrugated cardboard and shrink wrap can be efficiently recycled and even generate significant cost savings.

54% in the U.S. and 45% in Canada consider retailers a key source for learning about recycling programs. Consumer support of product recycling is heavily influenced by three key factors: the mode of product collection; how accessible the collection program is for consumers; and their general awareness of take back programs.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Sports Stadiums

As far back as 2013, it was estimated that over 17 million people attended professional league games and over 48 million attended college matches — that adds up to over 65 million fans consuming and discarding waste … about 20,000 tons annually. Simply put, high traffic areas require high capacity waste and recycling stations.

For Stadiums and Convention Centers, be sure to choose containers that are durable, highly functional and the right capacity for the job at hand. Rotationally molded products are also built to last! This means they will not rust or dent and can withstand the day to day use and misuse your visitors will hand out.

Optimizing Collection Systems Webinar Replay Recap

Webinar Recap: Optimizing the Collection System

Optimizing the Collection System RETOOLING PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY AND MATERIAL RECOVERY Original air date: Thurs May 18th, 2023 at 1:00pm EDT   Description: Recycling collection programs are not static and require periodic adjustments over time. Whether to reinvigorate stagnant recovery rates, reduce contamination, or simply adjust to changing conditions, it’s important for programs to evolve over time. This free webinar (recorded live) featured two different approaches to optimizing material recovery programs. The first was presented by Zabble, featuring a case study from a university and healthcare setting that used technology and data tracking to right size bin infrastructure, improve signage, and address operational issues. The second presentation, from HSR Zero Waste, looked at the experience of a convention center to illustrate the potential to improve material quality and reduce cost by shifting to source segregated collection streams and onsite pre-sorting arrangement. ** This educational webinar is followed by a product showcase, featuring members of our sales team and some of our most popular indoor and outdoor waste bins. If you are interested in learning more about Busch Systems and which products would be best for you and your organization, please contact our sales team at sales@buschsystems.com. **

Webinar Recap: Organics Collection From Indoor Settings

Organics Collection From Indoor Settings   A SHORT PRESENTATION & SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION EVENT   Original air date: Thursday April 6th, 2023 at 1:00pm ET   Description: With the growing pressure to tackle GHG emissions, food waste diversion is increasingly moving beyond dining facilities. Waste audits have shown that organics and food packaging can make up 25% or more of the waste stream from offices, breakrooms and public areas. But capturing that material comes with its own set of logistic challenges, from coordinating custodial labor to managing odors to education about what to compost. This hybrid web event, a partnership between the Zero Waste Campus Council and Busch Systems, combined a best practices / lessons learned presentation (recorded) with interactive small-group discussions (not recorded) where attendees were encouraged to share their own challenges and practical experience.
