At full occupancy, expect 150–250L of general waste per day. You also generate significant cardboard from linen deliveries, food supplies, and amenity restocking.
Full-service hotels generate 400L+ of waste daily across general, cardboard, glass (bar), and food waste streams. Multiple bins and frequent collection are essential.
