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.

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.

Sports Stadiums
