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
