Benefits of Self-Contained Trash Compactors

The liquid-tight construction of self-contained compactors makes them ideal for restaurant and food service environments. Hydraulic trash compactors with hydraulic tailgate are also available for chute, dock, or other similar installations, and eliminate the need for hauler turn-around.

• Sanitary: Self-contained compactors have a built-in fluid collection chamber (sump). This prevents spillage of liquid waste, keeps out pests, and reduces odors. With a self-contained industrial trash compactor, there are also no spillovers of solid waste and no trash blowing around in the wind. And since they’re completely sealed off, they deter people from rummaging through trash.
• Easy to use: Self-contained compactors are easy and safe to operate and require no special training. The user throws in the garbage and turns the compactor on with the touch of a button. These waste compactors can be locked to prevent unauthorized use.
• Cost-effective: Trash is compacted into blocks that take up less space on waste management hauling trucks, saving your business money on hauling trips.
• Eco-friendly: Compacting waste reduces its overall volume, thereby decreasing the number of waste hauling trips and lowering carbon emissions. This makes self-contained compactors an eco-friendly solution for businesses looking to minimize their environmental impact.
