2. Regular cleaning preserves and protects floors, carpeting and equipment. It prevents excessive wear and will extend lifespans.

3. A clean appearance makes a great first impression on your customers, increasing their confidence in your company.

4. A clean building is welcoming to your employees. This will create a more positive work experience.

Warm Weather + Dumpster = The Hot Garbage Smell of Nightmares

We’ve all experienced that smell. 

That putrid, ‘hot garbage’ smell that can be so strong you can almost taste it. Organic buildup in a dumpster or trash bin is a breeding ground for bacteria that creates terrible odor.

Please don’t be ‘that’ company with the disgusting dumpster. 

CONSUME® ECO-LYZER to the rescue!  It actually eats pathogenic and odor-causing bacteria! It cleans and disinfects, then leaves behind natural digesters for continuous, extended control of persistent odors.

It also has a neutral pH making it safe to use on finished and unfinished surfaces including concrete, terrazzo, marble, rubber and painted surfaces.

Don’t forget about those trash chutes and drains! 

Available in 2 liter bottles, gallon bottles and 5 gallon pails.

Liner Lesson

Density, different thicknesses and all the sizes- Choosing a waste liner can be a confusing process.

When picking out the liner to best suit your needs, consider this:

Density

High Density (HD) liners:

• Use less plastic
• Usually sound 'crinkly'
• Are NOT puncture or tear resistant
  

High density (HD) liners are measured in Microns- the higher the micron, the thicker the bag.

Best used in offices, restrooms and paper shredders where light, non-puncturing waste is the norm.

 

Low Density (LD) liners:

• Thick and flexible
• Highly resistant to puncturing and tearing

Low density (LD) liners are measured in Mils- the higher the mils, the stronger the bag.

They are best used in kitchens and outdoor areas where heavier, odd-shaped or sharp waste is expected.

  Measuring The Wastebasket For Proper Liner Fit

 

To find the bag width:

Use ½ of the outer circumference of the wastebasket

To find the bag length:

Use the height of the container plus ½ of the diameter of the container bottom, plus three inches (for overhang) 
For square or rectangular containers, use the diagonal of the container bottom rather than the diameter.
