How Will Having a Commercial Trash Compactor Benefit My Company

How a Commercial Trash Compactor Benefits Your Company

Retail businesses, restaurants, and office buildings are often confronted with growing commercial garbage collection prices, in addition to new municipal waste management rules. Sometimes increasing costs are the impetus for exploring the advantages of a garbage compactor for your organization – or you may already be proactively pursuing cost reduction, safety and a greener corporate image.

There are other benefits of garbage compaction which are less evident and have a greater influence on your bottom line than you think; these benefits help you extract the most value from your waste management expenditure.

Increases Efficiency

One of the best things about a trash compactor is that it makes waste management run more smoothly right away. With a mobile trash compactor, the number of trips to empty trash cans can be cut from 15-20 to just one. This saves employees time and reduces the chances of mysterious inventory losses.

Trash which has been packed down is moved by hand cart, removing the need to move trash and wear protective gear. When the trash is compacted, it takes up only 1/8 to 1/10 as much space in your bins or storage areas. This helps you make better use of room in your building and loading dock areas.

Cuts Operation Costs

A commercial trash compactor can help your business save a lot of money on waste disposal by reducing the amount of trash. Since most commercial waste collection prices are based on the size of the container (rather than the amount of trash), reducing the amount by up to 80% has a huge effect on how much you pay on pickup day.

In addition to the obvious immediate savings, consider these other ways to save money:

  • Your compactor will pay for itself quickly with a fast return on equipment investment
  • Tax breaks that your business might get
  • Recovering the value of recyclables which have been separated and compressed for resale
  • Fewer trips outside mean better security and less wasted energy

Improves Sanitation and Aesthetics

A garbage compactor can lower the cost of getting rid of your business’s trash; it is usually self-contained to prevent leaks and bad smells. Because the trash is packed down so tightly, insects and rodents can’t use it as a food source or a place to nest.

Furthermore, your business trash is kept clean, in order, and less visible to customers and guests. This makes your building look better. When the inevitable inspection day comes, it will be easier for you to handle and store your trash in a way that meets all regulations and green initiative goals.

Supports Facility Safety

Modern trash compacting machines are safe, easy to use (you just push a button) and don’t need much upkeep. They get rid of leaks and stacks of unstable trash bags – which cause people to slip and fall (and look bad). When you move garbage bales with a hand cart, you’re less likely to hurt your back, which can happen when you move heavy bags just by hand.

Benefits the Environment

With zero-waste projects popping up all over the country, everyone is thinking about how important it is to limit the amount of commercial waste in landfills. Your customers, guests, and patrons expect your business to meet the challenge of reducing waste and managing it wisely so as to protect the environment.

A trash compactor can help your business reduce its carbon footprint (and build a greener brand image) by reducing the amount of trash which goes to the landfill, thus making it easier for businesses to handle recyclables and compostables.

Commercial Garbage Collection Equipment for Trash and Recycling

By | Commercial Waste Compactors | No Comments

Table of Contents

It’s critical for your business’s operations to have the appropriate size and type of interior and outdoor garbage collection and transportation equipment. The proper equipment boosts your trash diversion program’s effectiveness, protects worker safety, and decreases contamination. While your carrier may offer some of this equipment, others may need to be obtained by your facility. This article gives a summary of typical hauler-used collection equipment, as well as equipment for collecting and recycling waste inside your facility. The best equipment for your facility will vary depending on the kind of company, waste stream, available space and other variables.

Garbage Containers Used by Your Hauler

Your hauler often supplies collection containers for your waste diversion initiatives, such as frontload dumpsters, wheeled carts and roll-off containers. These containers are often utilized outside as the final point of collection and servicing. Different kinds of equipment are advised depending on the type of waste collected, the amount of cargo created, and the servicing capabilities of your hauler. If you’re acquiring extra containers which will not be delivered by your carrier but will be maintained by them, be sure they’re compatible with your hauler’s equipment. To avoid contamination, inquire with your hauler about the possibility of utilizing various coloured lids so as to indicate which items are acceptable in the trash (or stickers or other markings labeling the material streams permitted in each container).

Dumpsters

Restaurants, apartment buildings and retail stores often employ dumpsters. These are usually maintained in a parking lot or fenced-in corral. Different sizes may be available from your hauler. Smaller 2-yard wheeled dumpsters may be held inside or outdoors until carried to the collection site. “Dock style” front load dumpsters enable objects to be loaded from a loading dock into the dumpster. Front load compactors, which smash material into a front load container, help reduce truck traffic in areas with limited space. In apartment buildings with chute systems, trash is usually dumped into front load compactors by front loading vehicles.

Carts

Carts can be used for many purposes, but not for collecting cardboard. Your transporter may provide wheeled carts, but you can also buy more. If you want to combine cart loads into a 2-yard dumpster, four 96-gallon carts are almost the same capacity. Carts can be manually tipped into dumpsters or hydraulically.

Because of their size and mobility, carts are commonly lined with plastic bags to gather debris. If you gather recyclables in plastic bags, remember to empty them and reuse them. Check with your hauler (and end location) to see whether they accept biodegradable bags. If not, the bag must be emptied and deposited in the garbage. A “Recycling Works” image on opening recyclables from plastic bags can be used as a sign or training tool in workplaces.

Open-Top Containers and Compactors

Businesses which create large amounts of garbage and recyclable material generally use roll-off services such as compactors and open-top containers. Roll-off trucks for these containers take up a lot of room. Haulers can provide compactors or open-top containers – or your company may acquire them. They’re conveniently located near commercial composting, recycling and construction waste management facilities.

Open-top containers are widely used to gather large waste and recycling items like metal, asphalt, brick and concrete. They range in size from 10-yard to 40-yard. Open-top containers should be continuously monitored and secured to prevent illicit dumping.

Garbage Compactors for Specific Types of Waste

Self-contained compactors are often seen in big supermarkets, hospitals and apartment complexes. These are intended to gather wet objects such as garbage or food waste. They are often customized to meet the unique requirements of a business. When the receiver box and power unit are serviced, they’re taken from the site, emptied and returned in the same shipment. Note that this implies you will be unable to use the compactor for a period of time.Garbage Collection Equipment Used For Collecting Trash and Recycling

Compactors with breakaways are used for dry debris such as cardboard and other recyclables. Large stores, factories, and other industrial sites often use these compactors. The receiver box is exchanged or emptied and returned when the roll-off truck comes to service the compactor.

Dual-stream waste compactors include two chambers which allow the independent collection of garbage and recycling or food waste in the same device. These are often employed in areas with limited room for a compactor, but a high volume of debris from two distinct waste streams.
