The Best Recycling Machines for Hotels, Motels, Resorts & Casinos
Running a successful hotel, resort, casino, or motel comes with more than just offering exceptional guest experiences — it also involves managing large volumes of waste and recyclables. From cardboard boxes and plastic bottles to glass containers and aluminum cans, the waste stream in the hospitality industry is constant and varied.
For nearly 40 years, Compactors Inc has been helping hospitality businesses across the U.S. take control of their waste management. With a wide range of commercial compactors, balers, and crushers, Compactors Inc offers solutions that not only reduce waste volume but also lower disposal costs, improve sustainability efforts, and boost operational efficiency.
Here are some of the best recycling machines offered by Compactors Inc for the hospitality sector:
1. Vertical Balers – Efficient Cardboard & Plastic Management
Hotels and resorts receive frequent deliveries packed in cardboard boxes. A vertical baler is a perfect solution to condense bulky materials like cardboard and plastic film into manageable bales that can be recycled or picked up for cash rebates.
Why it’s ideal for hospitality:
- Compact footprint fits in back rooms or loading docks
- Easy-to-use controls make training fast for staff
- Helps properties meet sustainability goals
2. Glass Crushers – A Must for Bars, Lounges, and Restaurants
Properties that serve alcohol generate a significant amount of glass waste. Compactors Inc’s Glass Crushers reduce glass bottles to sand-like material, minimizing haul-away costs and the risk of injuries from broken glass.
Benefits include:
- Drastically reduces glass volume by up to 80%
- Safe, quiet, and clean operation
- Great for hotels with bars, clubs, and food & beverage operations
3. Can Crushers – Perfect for Beverage and Snack Areas
Aluminum cans can pile up quickly in resort snack shops, hotel minibars, and poolside bars. The Can Crushers from Compactors Inc make it easy to crush cans into thin discs, creating more room in recycling bins and reducing waste collection frequency.
Ideal features:
- Handles up to 2,000+ cans per hour
- Helps maintain a tidy, eco-friendly operation
- Can be wall-mounted for space-saving convenience
4. Marine Trash Compactors – Ideal for Island Resorts and Cruise Terminals

5. X-Cycler – Dual Purpose for PET Bottles and Aluminum Cans
