Commercial Compactors

We have a Commercial Trash Compactor that fits your waste removal needs.

What is a Commercial Trash Compactor?

An on-site commercial trash compactor is a heavy-duty waste management solution designed to compact and compress large volumes of trash and recyclable materials into easily manageable bundles. A compactor has a hydraulic device that crushes material and reduces material volume. These compactors are typically installed at commercial or industrial facilities, such as retail stores, restaurants, manufacturing plants, and office buildings, where there's a consistent and substantial volume of waste generated. This helps a customer save money by reducing the amount of loads.

How does a Commercial Trash Compactor work?

A commercial trash compactor condenses waste by loading it into a hopper connected to the compactor. A powerful hydraulic ram or auger applies pressure push the material into the receiving container. As the container begins to fill the material is compacted. The material is then stored into the container where it can then be transported away. With an 80% full indicator light the customer is aware when service will be needed.

  • Environmental Benefits - Compacted waste is less likely to leak or emit odors, improving overall sanitation and hygiene at the facility and reduces the amount of landfill space needed
  • Fire prevention - loose trash can catch fire easier than compacted trash.

With an indicator light, there is ample time to request service for your container. Open top containers can be inviting to nearby residents to dispose of debris at someone else's expense.
