ICTV
Hospitality, Hotels & Casinos

Protect guest experience while reducing waste spend and improving diversion.

Hotels with 200+ rooms and an on-site food facility are covered under California's SB 1383. Between banquet kitchens, buffets, and multi-stream guest waste, hospitality operations need documented programs that actually work at volume.

The Problem

What waste looks like without the right partner.

1

SB 1383 covers hotels with food facilities and 200+ rooms

California's SB 1383 specifically includes hotels with on-site food facilities and 200+ rooms. If documented organics diversion isn't in place, the hotel is exposed to daily fines.

2

Banquet and buffet waste generated in surge volumes

Catered events and buffets produce significant food waste in short windows. Programs need to handle surge volumes without operational disruption or documentation gaps.

3

Multiple kitchen operations under one roof

Hotels and casinos often have multiple food and beverage operations — restaurants, bars, banquets, room service — each generating organic waste that needs to be consolidated under one documented program.

4

No centralized compliance documentation across properties

Multi-property hospitality groups often have inconsistent programs and fragmented documentation across locations. ICTV builds a centralized compliance program across the full portfolio.

Why generic providers fall short

The gap between standard service and what hospitality, hotels & casinos operations actually need.

Surge volumes from banquets and events break standard pickup schedules.

Haulers set schedules for average volume, not peak volume. A 500-person banquet generates 3x normal organics in 4 hours. Programs that can't flex create overflow, odor, and guest complaints.

Multiple food and beverage operations get one generic waste program.

A hotel with a restaurant, bar, banquet kitchen, and room service needs coordination across sources. Generic programs treat the loading dock as a single drop — with no documentation by operation.

Sustainability reporting gets no data from the waste program.

ESG and hotel brand commitments require diversion rates and GHG metrics. Generic haulers don't produce them. ICTV generates formatted sustainability data as part of the standard program.
