Waste Compactors are machines designed to reduce the volume of waste by using hydraulics or pneumatics to compact it down. By compacting your waste, you'll fit more material into your bins. This can help your business to save space, save time and save money on waste collections.
What are the benefits?
Compacting waste is beneficial to all types of businesses. This is due to Waste Management Companies charging variable prices for bin emptying, depending on the contents and the capacity of the bin. Businesses without a waste compactor often find themselves paying to have commercial bins emptied, which aren’t even full which is essentially paying for disposing of fresh air.
