What Our Customers Say - Transform Your Waste Management: How Orwak Can Slash Your Costs And Simplify Operations

At Telford Smith, we understand the unique challenges faced by businesses in managing waste efficiently and cost-effectively. Take inspiration from Minnesuing Acres in the USA, where the implementation of the Orwak 5030 Bagging Compactor transformed their waste management system. Going from daily visits to the dump to just a few pickups a month and it was installed almost 30 years ago; and is still in use today. With a similar commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency, Australian businesses can also significantly reduce waste removal costs and improve environmental impact through innovative solutions tailored to their needs.

SUCCESS STORY LMAINKNE ENSEUBIANGGA AMCORENS, USA

Minnesuing Acres, an Executive Retreat and Conference Center, went from daily visits to the dump to just a few pickups a month by using the Orwak 5030 Bagging Compactor. It was installed almost 30 years ago and is still in use today.

MINNESUING ACRES, AN EXECUTIVE RETREAT AND CONFERENCE CENTER, is a beautiful travel  destination for executives and families alike. Located on the picturesque Lake Nebagamon, Minnesuing Acres is known for their scenic views, delicious cuisine and friendly service. As with most outdoor escapes in the northern states, their busy season runs from May to October.

“The Orwak 5030 makes managing trash much simpler. It paid for itself, a long, long time ago. I wish everything was built like an Orwak 5030!” 
Jon Lindberg of Minnesuing Acres, has supervised use of the Orwak 5030 since it was purchased in 1988. 

The Local Dump was Closing 

Back in 1988, Jon Lindberg, Caretaker for the Minnesuing Acres Executive Retreat and Conference Center, was faced with a dilemma. The local dump was closing. Most of what they brought to the dump on a daily basis was composed of food waste, which made transporting it inconvenient and messy.

Now that the dump was closing, they no longer had to transport it themselves, but they were going to have to use a costly waste hauler. 

To reduce the number of pick-ups required by the local waste hauler, they were advised by their managing company, Carlson Hotel Management, to separate out recyclables and compact the remaining trash using a bagging compactor. 

Carlson managed several hotels that were using small footprint trash compactors to reduce the volume of trash that went into dumpsters. By reducing trash volume, they could reduce pick-ups which meant lower waste removal costs. The rest is history.

Three Decades of Continuous Use and Still Going

Although Minnesuing Acres is no longer part of Carlson Hotel Management, Minnesuing Acres sure is happy that they took their advice and looked into the Orwak 5030 Bagging Compactor. Over the past 29 years, they have used the Orwak 5030 on a continuous basis with zero safety issues and only minor maintenance and part replacements.

Although it was a long time ago, Jon still remembers how inconvenient it was to make those daily trips to the local dump to dispose of trash. As Jon puts it, “The Orwak 5030 makes managing trash much simpler. 

It paid for itself, a long, long time ago. We would buy a new one, but the old one just keeps on going and going and going!”
