Single-stream recycling-Part II: Dumpsters - Vol. 18 No. 2
Well, you've heard of "dumpster diving" and how to don a pair of rubber gloves and find cash in the trash. Well, just like crime scene work, it's not in the gloves or looking in the trash where one finds the real money. After talking to hundreds of hoteliers, the authors of this article realized that the real savings with dumpsters comes with efficient monitoring of one's trash and the timely scheduling of trash pickups to ensure only "full loads" are being hauled away.
Natural ways to be rid of bedbugs - Vol. 16 No. 6
Bedbugs are spreading like wildfire across the country, with hot spots in New York City and states such as Florida, Texas and Ohio. They are also living large in the Southwest. One motel owner in New Mexico is paying $63,000 to get rid of them. How bad is it in New York? Last year, there were almost 7,000 bedbug complaints. The number of complaints in 2005: 1,839. In 2006: 4,500. Of course those were not all hotel-related, but hotels and motels have most definitely been hit hard. Glenn Hasek, publisher of Green Lodging News, discusses several green techniques for hotels to eradicate and/or prevent bedbugs infestations.
From the Editor - Vol. 14 No. 6
In this issue we have enclosed a special, four-page OSHA inspection preparation checklist. This is part of Mike Cazel's continuing series on OSHA compliance for hotel managers. We have also enclosed our 2007 calendar which is ideal for photocopying and hanging in any hotel department and provides a quick-reference list of tasks to be performed in the event that evacuating the hotel becomes necessary. On behalf of the entire staff at The Rooms Chronicle, please accept my sincere gratitude for making us part of this past year. We look towards even greater success in 2007.
