Commercial Waste Management Tips for Niota, TN

Should my company be utilizing a commercial waste compactor?

If you own a commercial property and generate a large volume of compactable material (or you have limited space for collecting material), and you aren’t utilizing a trash compactor as part of your waste management plan, you could be making a huge mistake.

Using a commercial waste compactor has multiple advantages:

  • Greatly reduces waste management costs
  • Minimizes the chances of developing a pest problem
  • Improves the overall appearance of the property

What are the different types of compactors?

Compactors can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing them to meet a range of commercial waste needs.

Some of the common compactors used include:

  • Vertical compactors: Great for when a customer generates a large volume of waste but has limited space
  • Apartment compactors: Widely used in high-rise apartment buildings; normally use 'chutes' to move the waste materials to the waste containers at the lower levels of the building.
  • Roll-off compactors (stationary or breakaway): Involve a ground-mounted compactor connected to a removable roll-off container; used when there are large volumes of dry, compactable materials being generated and there is no space limitation issue
