Tourist Attraction Success Stories

Record-Breaking Recycling Rates at Liberty & Ellis Island - Even The Statue of Liberty Would Smile If She Could
Every year, millions of people visit the Statue of Liberty National Monument and the nearby Ellis Island Immigration Museum.  Evelyn Hill, Inc., the National Parks Service’s food concession operator, was looking for a way to streamline the recycling of beverage container waste and reduce trash volume on the islands. They found the solution in two Orwak Multi Chamber balers.
Santa Cruz Boardwalk Thrills Patrons with Their Orwak Multi Chamber Baler
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is a popular destination for pleasure seekers who come to enjoy the rides, food, arcades and sandy beach along the Monterey Bay. With three million visitors attending the seaside area year-round, the maintenance team faced a considerable challenge managing its aluminum and plastic beverage container waste. Karl Speight, Maintenance Manager, was looking for a way to reduce costs, simplify his recycling logistics and further minimize environmental impacts.

Customer Testimonials

 “For every ton of beverage containers we bale, we are saving 2,513 gallons (9,512 liters) of gasoline and 12.4 cubic yards of landfill space. It’s a great way to show the public that major national historic sites can have a positive environmental impact, simply by reducing the volume of our waste.” 

- Jeff Marrazzo, Director of Health, Safety and Environment for Evelyn Hill, Food Concession Operator at Liberty Island
"The Orwak Multi Chamber baler has been well worth the investment. Combined with the California Redemption Value (CRV) funds we receive for recycling the containers, our cost savings has been so significant that our recycling program is now paying for itself.” 

- Karl Speight, Maintenance Manager for the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk
