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.

The Importance of Compaction Equipment in Today’s World

By | Compaction Equipment | No Comments

What is Compaction?

Compaction refers to the act of compacting or compressing matter unto itself, therefore lowering its physical volume without affecting its mass.

The Need for Compaction Equipment

Compaction is an intense mechanical operation that requires a specialized apparatus to be performed. Different types of materials require different forms of compaction equipment. The necessity for such equipment is driven by the need to handle that material more easily, make it stable and solid, lower costs, and potentially create a profit by doing so.

Concrete

For concrete, compaction is used to remove trapped air from freshly laid concrete and pack the aggregate together, increasing the density of the concrete. Cement compaction increases the ultimate strength, strengthens the connection with reinforcing steel, and increases abrasion resistance while decreasing permeability.

Waste/Recycling Industry Compaction

In the waste processing and recycling sector, compaction plays a large part in lowering the size of waste matter so that, essentially, more of it may be stored or accommodated in the same space. At dumpsites and landfills, garbage is compacted even deeper as a technique of extending the lifespan of that place.

Waste is generated everywhere and the need to control how that waste harms our ecosystem is gaining traction. Waste is emitted from our homes, businesses, educational institutions, health care facilities, industries, and just about anywhere else where people congregate including stadiums and parks. As a result, it is not uncommon to find a recycling compactor installed in such locations.

Business Use

Compactors give individuals in locations like schools, shopping malls, and other commercial establishments the opportunity to safeguard the environment. Such areas generally have many people (which results in a high volume of waste being generated) so they generally require a large industrial trash compactor to handle the volume.

Residential Settings

Housing complexes and dense communities greatly benefit from the compaction of their trash, which reduces its volume and hence the requirement for space, while facilitating cleaner housing and surrounding environments.

Manufacturing Companies

The amount of garbage generated by manufacturing businesses is vast and possibly dangerous, depending on its makeup. Compactors make the management of such garbage both efficient and safe. Manufacturing organizations can substantially benefit from heavy-duty industrial compactors that have the strength and resilience to manage such waste.

Medical Industry

Hospitals usually produce waste which might be anything from leftover meals to old medical supplies. All this requires specialized medical waste disposal systems that will ensure the correct disposal of such products, while ensuring the safety of its handlers.The Importance of Compaction Equipment in Today's World

Food Industry

The waste that hotels and restaurants generate is largely organic, and compacting such waste ensures that it may be effectively recycled. It also eliminates the possibility of such garbage making its way into the sewer system.

 

Types of Compactors

Automatic

A cardboard baler, for example, is a commercial trash compactor designed to compress cardboard waste into neatly tied bales with the simple push of a button.

Self-Contained

In a self-contained compactor, the device is integrated with a container that perfectly processes waste with high amounts of liquid. This means that a compactor (such as an industrial garbage compactor) can manage all industrial waste, whether solid or liquid.

Stationary or Portable

Compactors can be stationary or portable, depending on the use, waste type and location of the trash.

Free-Standing

Free-standing compactors with a big feed hole and a low feed height provide safe and easy modes of operation in sites with a high turnover of waste handled by individuals.

Attached to a Wall or Fence

For simplicity while loading waste or collecting the compacted matter, a commercial compactor can be mounted to a wall or a fence adjacent to a clear access route. The kind of compactor that would suit such a site is ideally the horizontal loading type.
