Where a site produces more than 120 cubic metres of waste per week, the use of compactor containers is a cost effective waste disposal solution.
Static compactors are typically used for dry waste disposal whereas portable compactors are generally used for moisture retentive waste or where space is limited.
- Volume reducing compactors for reduced costs
- Timely collections to suit your needs
- Quick response to service calls
- Safe transportation of your waste
- Documentation complying with legislation
- Fully enclosed units for hygiene
