Testimonials
Melbourne Convention Centre, Southbank, Melbourne (2 machines) “During our large functions using the machine saves us an enormous amount of space and it's much more convenient to dispose the glass to the loading dock downstairs. The machine saves us large amounts of staff time “
Hilton, Melbourne During our 2 month trial of BottleCycler here at Hilton we have found many benefits which largely contributed into day to day running of our operation. The main factors such as less man handling and subsequently saving on our labour cost, saving space, less noise pollution and elimination of unpleasant odours. We will look forward to having BottleCycler here at Hilton permanently.
Engadine Bowling Club, Engadine, NSW, "We are situated in a residential area, by eliminating the noise of bottle collection we were able to counter a lot of noise complaints"
Loop, 23 Meyers Place, CBD Melbourne “We don't have enough space for conventional bins, it's good for the environment and it's much better for our ears.” recycling.
Stamford Grand Hotel, North Ryde, NSW "Taking crates from the central bar to the loading dock took us 20 hours per week if not more, and it was risky. now we only spend 2 hours on the same work"
The Market, South Yarra, Melbourne “The bins are stylish, fit well into our back alley, make our storage area tidy and more accessible for deliveries”
Opera House Bar, Sydney, NSW "It's convenient and works extremely well"
PJ Gallagher Hotel Group, NSW "A reliable service that has proven itself over the years"
South Sydney Juniors, Kingsford, NSW "We decided to enter a service contract due to an OH&S accident. With the crusher there is no more lifting and no more contact with broken bottles"
Sofitel Hotel Melbourne CBD (2 machines) "Sofitel is gradually implementing a 'greener' approach to all facets of its operations and BottleCycler fits in perfectly with this"'
Blacktown Workers Club, Blacktown, NSW “Since installing the BottleCyclers our staff have found it much easier to dispose of broken and empty bottles and it has certainly assisted in a safer work environment for all.”
Hotel Mosman, Mosman, NSW “It's awesome, no empty bottles to be found on the premises !“
The Union Hotel, North Sydney “We used to have chutes down to the cellar. That was noisy and couldn't’t be used after 10. The full bins had to be carried upstairs on to the street. Now it’s concentrated in one area behind the bar, very convenient."
Heaven's Door It’s a win for everybody – the environment wins, I win and the customer wins. It’s just so easy. I am so happy with it that when we were remodelling the bar, we did so with BottleCycler in mind and positioned it at the bar in full view of the patrons. Positioned here it saves double handling and time. It’s aesthetically pleasing and intrigues patrons when they see bottles disappearing into it. It has generated some great responses from patrons who are pleased that we are recycling efficiently. It has also improved the visible environment, removing the wheelie bins which were sometimes tipped over creating noise and mess on the street. It’s my new toy and I invite prospective users and licensees to come and see it behind the bar.
One Six One For us it’s perfect. As we are a nightclub, we sell mainly stubbies and being on the first floor there is little space for rubbish. Staff were continually moving the rubbish from the bar to the back of house and then downstairs, about every half hour. With BottleCycler, we just take 2 bins down per night. This has freed staff up to keep the club clean and concentrate on looking after patrons. It has eased the pressure off everyone. It’s quiet, easy to use, we’re having less injuries caused by staff being cut by broken glass and we are pleased to be recycling efficiently. Very glad to see the government support this initiative. |
