A Letter from Our Founder

From Frustrated Restaurant Owner to Industry Pioneer

Dear Fellow Restaurant Owner,

I know your frustration. In 1993, I watched my waste hauling bills skyrocket while my profits shrank. Traditional compactors made things worse, haulers charged us 3-5x more for compacted waste, and the industry was stuck in a cycle of rising costs and environmental impact. There had to be a better way.

That's when Pack-a-Drum was born. Not from a boardroom, but from the real struggles of running restaurants. Today, we've helped thousands of businesses save millions on waste costs.

Let me show you how we can transform your waste management too.
