Hotels and resorts generate millions of tons of waste annually, with food waste from kitchens and banquets leading by volume.
The constant flow of deliveries brings cardboard, plastic wrap, glass, aluminum—and even wood pallets—into your waste stream every day across all operations.
Limited equipment footprints, strict odor control requirements, and location-specific regulations make hospitality waste management uniquely challenging, but solvable with proper systems.
Hotels, resorts, and event venues face unique waste challenges—from the inevitable pile-up of food waste in busy kitchens to the steady stream of packaging that arrives with every delivery. Space is tight, and compliance requirements vary, which is why cookie-cutter solutions don’t work. A Komar waste stream assessment takes a close look at your operation and recommends the right equipment solutions that work for your business.
“Our facility is a 110,000-square-foot operations center for Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania. We get between 1.2 to 1.5 million pounds of material a day, and tonnage increases significantly during the summer. The Komar auger has increased daily soft trash, wood pallets, and general trash efficiency by 30% and 40% with furniture. I love to give shock-and-awe tours to show off the Komar Auger, which compacts 8.5 to 9 tons into each payload.”
Bob Kagle, Director of Retail Logistics, Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania
“Since installing our Komar Auger, we have improved our operations tremendously. The auger units have reduced labor from six people down to one person, who oversees the conveyor lines and compactors. We have gone from a 2-ton payload to a 10-ton-plus payload, per 40-yard container, reducing our annual pull charges by over 75%. We have less downtime and have eliminated jams due to the slow operation of the old compactors. Best of all, we had less than a one-year return on investment.”
John Hefty, Operations Manager, GameStop
“We estimate that the Komar Auger has saved us 1,300 hours of labor per year, has reduced our hauling cost by two-thirds, and has given La-Z-Boy a safer process and more floor space.”
Troy Kvingedal, Facilities Supervisor, La-Z-Boy
“Our disposal costs have dropped, which at least covers the cost of the compactors. Aside from the monetary aspect, the compactors allow the stores to be considerably cleaner. Cleanup at night is much easier because we have no trash cluttering up the back room of the store. All in all, we are very pleased with the compactors.”
Doug Gehrig, CEO, McDonald’s of Southwest Louisiana
