Using Industrial Compactors for Trash

Industrial Compactors for Trash

Trash is not a “fun” subject, but studies show that efficient management of your solid waste disposal can lead to significant cost savings for many businesses and institutions.

Typically waste hauler rates are determined by the size of the trash bin multiplied by the number of bins and the number of times they are emptied. By compacting your trash, the number of times each bins is emptied can be reduced significantly. So even if the hauler has a compacted trash rate of 1-1/2 to 2 times normal, your waste handling costs can still go down by 50% or more.

Other benefits can include:

Potential labor savings with more efficient trash disposal.
A cleaner parking lot because debris does not blow out of the bins.
Better security because employees do not need to take the trash out at night enabling managers to keep the back door locked.
Elimination of other people putting trash in your bins.
Better Sanitation for kitchen operations because bacteria and odors are killed inside the compactor and trash bags will no longer build up at the door.
