Managing a restaurant is considered one of the most challenging leadership positions in the business world. It can also be amongst the most rewarding to those who are particularly adept at navigating the treacherous waters of food service. Putting a restaurant in a hotel seems to add layers of complexity to the process, including tying in to the hotel’s computer system and balancing room service with dining room patrons.
One area often neglected is recycling—especially electronics recycling. Yet, many restaurants have found this to have significant benefits to the organization, bringing a positive fiscal return as well as maintaining a good public image. Here are the top three benefits of recycling your e-waste from your hotel-based restaurant.
Short- and Long-Term Cost Savings
Throwing away kitchen appliances is not only terrible for the environment, it’s a pointless waste of your costly trash bill. Refrigerators, blenders, coffee makers and all the necessary electronic equipment in the kitchen can and should be recycled. Taking a moment to separate out the waste before it’s dropped in the dumpster won’t take much time but will save on garbage removal costs—and it might be required by local laws.
Putting all this obsolete junk in storage is also costly, both in terms of employee labor and paying for the space. With one call to TechWaste, they’ll come to your location for free to pick up your e-waste with their no-hassle policy.
As information technology changes, rapid transitions in electronic registers and hospitality systems create the rapid turnover of computers and computerized devices. By recycling with TechWaste, you will be assured that all private information on any storage device is permanently destroyed, saving you the embarrassment (and potential lawsuits) of having it stolen by hackers. Plus, some discarded electronics are valuable enough that they can be restored and resold by a licensed recycler, for which you will be paid a portion.
Enhancing Your Public Image
Savvy consumers are far more environmentally conscious these days. A recent poll indicates that nearly 2/3rds of Americans think we aren’t doing enough to protect the environment and reduce pollution. By participating in free electronics recycling, you can reassure the public that you’re working toward a stronger green reputation as well as creating jobs in the downstream recycling industry. Since many older electronics have small, but still relevant, amounts of toxic materials, you’re also showing employees that you care about their health by removing unnecessary items.
Ultimately, It Saves the Environment
Businesses exist to make a fair profit, and sometimes that can conflict with protecting the natural world. However, when you can do it for free (or even get paid), it just makes sense on every level. Being a good steward of your organization’s ecological footprint isn’t just to make the public happy, it’s good for your own self-image as well.
