Container compactors to reduce waste volume and collection frequency
A container compactor combines waste collection and compaction in one machine. It suits businesses whose waste volumes have outgrown a conventional container or small vertical baler.
When does a container compactor become worthwhile?
The greatest benefit comes when containers fill quickly, collections are frequent, waste takes up too much space or its collection disrupts work.
Frequent collections
When a container quickly fills with air and uncompacted waste, compaction can reduce the number of trips.
High waste volumes
In retail, logistics or manufacturing, where cardboard, film or mixed waste volumes are consistently high.
Limited space
When uncompacted waste takes up too much yard or warehouse space and disrupts logistics.
Mobile or stationary?
Mobile container compactor
The compactor and container form one transportable unit. It suits applications requiring flexibility and straightforward collection without a permanent high-throughput line.
Stationary container compactor
The compaction unit stays in place while containers are exchanged or collected. It suits higher volumes, a permanent location and automated loading.
How do we select the right option?
We assess more than container capacity in litres or cubic metres. Waste types, volumes, loading method, transport system and site layout all matter.
- Waste type and density
- Approximate waste volumes per day or week
- Manual, forklift or automated loading
- Existing collection and container system
