Fast Food Restaurants
The average fast food restaurant creates hundreds of thousands of pounds of garbage every year. The solution to effectively reducing and managing restaurant waste is simpler than you think. Our proven compactors, balers and composting equipment is a game-changer for fast food restaurants looking to minimize their carbon footprint and effectively deal with garbage. With the right equipment and a sound waste management plan, fast food restaurants can significantly reduce labor costs, improve backdoor security, improve the appearance of the restaurant, and slash garbage costs 35%-75%.
Amy’s Drive-Thru Corte Madera
Challenge
Amy’s, the region’s new leading vegetarian fast serve restaurant, wanted to limit trash pick-ups and the number of trips that their staff would need to run trash across the drive-thru lane to the trash enclosure.
Solutions
For landfill waste/trash, we placed our proven indoor stainless steel 700ss Power Packer Compactor which compacts 20-25 large trashbags into a manageable trash cube that is then transported and lifted into the local hauler’s 1.5 yard rear load bin. The 700 limits trips across the drive-thru to just once or twice per day while limiting pick-ups for this high volume restaurant to just 3 pick-ups per week!
For cardboard, the client chose our small footprint Bramidan B-5 baler which crushes 150 boxes into an easy-to-handle 185-200 lb bale. This labor-saving solution eliminated the need to have multiple cardboard recycle bins, and makes it so staff does not waste time flattening boxes
Savings
Because trash is only picked up 3 days per week instead of 6 days, Amy’s saves $10,000s per year while also reducing carbon-emitting emissions from multiple garbage truck trips from the restaurant to the dump.
Chick-fil-A Palmdale
The Chick-fil-A in Palmdale is one of the highest volume stores in the chain. Daily trash was simply overflowing. Even though they compact dining room waste, the restaurant still had a 6 yard bin picked up daily…and still could not keep up. Trash overflowed onto the ground and had to be stored in the trash…

Chuck E. Cheese – San Jose, CA
