Abstract

A safe, efficient waste management system is a crucial aspect of any hospitality business. Hoteliers have many opportunities to reduce waste by utilizing waste audits to establish waste prevention and recycling programs and by purchasing recycled products using a retail waste management program. Besides reducing waste and saving money, these actions can increase employee morale and customer satisfaction as well as lower dumpster costs and create strong relationships with the managed haulers. When it comes to waste disposal and waste management, those in the hospitality industry experience a unique set of challenging needs. Keeping this in mind our research work would enable the hotel operators to achieve better maintenance effectiveness and efficiency through various strategies and cost index, which appear not to be widely available in the market. The quantitative research methodology of the survey is conducted in major hotel operators in Mysore.

Keywords: Waste Minimization; Recycling; Energy Conservation; Retail waste management program:
