The Move To Disposable Table Service

The Move To Disposable Table Service

There is a lot of speculation about how the food service industry plans to quell fears related to virus contamination and sterilization of traditional food service utensils.  Consumers are weary of cleaning measures and are hesitant use them, even if they have been steam cleaned. The risk of spreading germs and viruses is on everyone’s mind.  That is why many restaurant owners are making the move to disposable table service.  This isn’t just limited to knives, forks, and spoons, but includes cups, plates, napkins, and tablecloths as well.

The CDC recently published “Considerations For Restaurants And Bars”, as they gradually reopen around the country. This document advocates for the use of disposable service items whenever possible.  But, moving to these single-use products creates issues for waste handling and the environment.  Increased waste collection by traditional open top garbage cans and dumpsters means:

• More employee time dedicated to removing and hauling trash.
• Higher risks for vermin, odor, fire, and pilferage.
• More frequent waste hauling pulls from your dumpster or compactor.
• Increased CO2 in the atmosphere from garbage trucks.
• Increased volume of trash in already overflowing landfills.

Indoor Stainless Steel Compactors Can Help!

Harmony has been making indoor stainless steel compactors for decades. These incredibly efficient compactors have industry-leading compaction ratios that allow them to reduce trash volume by up to 25 times that of a normal container.  That means 25 fewer times employees are exposed to trash.

Harmony’s indoor stainless steel compactors are safe and easy to use and come standard with a hydraulic ejector and optional swivel lock front casters and drip pan.

In addition to reducing the issues listed above, using an indoor compactor provides other benefits for your business:

• Using up to 25X fewer bags.
• Corrosion-resistant high quality stainless steel construction that is easy to clean.
• Eliminates problems and fears associated with uncovered waste.
• Have optional air sanitizer for fresh scent.

Employees can also reduce their exposure to trash when they have to empty the waste cube.  Harmony offers a variety of lift carts that allow users to load, dump, and unload waste cubes into the tallest dumpsters or compactors without ever touching the trash.

Not Limited To Restaurants

We have noticed more and more hospitals and daycare facilities using our indoor stainless steel compactors as well. When placed on each floor, staff can easily compact waste at its source, and reduce the labor involved with hauling open trash contents in and around sanitary areas.This is especially true with these same facilities also moving to single-use dining service.

When combined with our Insite Iot (Internet of Things) Technology, users enjoy the benefits of receiving SMS text or email messages, telling them when the compactors are partially full, full, or need servicing.  This allows staff to reduce their need to increase population densities until it is essential.  Insite also helps reduce the number of times staff have to manually check on the status of the compactor, leaving them free for other, more important tasks.
