Trash compactors are some of the best waste handling and recycling solutions in use today. They have been around for a long time, perhaps due to their capacity to handle a variety of waste. Almost every industry can benefit from the convenience and efficiency of trash compactors. Some of these industries include:
1. Commercial Industries
While waste handling requirements vary from one company to another, you can choose from a range of trash compactors to serve your specific waste handling and recycling needs. Effective industrial and commercial recycling solutions should in the long-term result in savings from reduced tipping and haulage fees. Besides, they can be customized to meet your specific compaction needs.
2. Grocery/Food
The food industry generates huge volumes of assorted waste. To handle the complex waste, which ranges from huge amounts of cardboard to spoilt produce, a slightly different method of waste management is required. Groceries, for instance, produce high volumes of biowaste. The haulage and tipping charges are very high since the waste has to be frequently collected. To manage this waste, you need efficient, powerful, discreet balers and trash compactors.
Stationary, self-contained and vertical trash compactors are ideally suited for handling this type of waste since they feature deep-stroke rams that provide the best penetration rates in the industry. These compactors reduce waste volumes and allow extra wait-time from one pick up to the next. This results in huge savings.
3. Government
The government is a massive generator of waste. This includes recyclable materials and dry waste. To extend the life of a landfill, it is recommended that waste is compacted before it reaches there. If all government waste was to be dumped at landfills without being compacted first, all landfills would be stretched beyond their capacity.
However, since most government and public service waste is recyclable, the remaining waste is easily handled through compaction. Stationary compactors, vertical compactors and vertical balers can efficiently handle various types of government and public service waste.
4. Property Management
High-density residential and commercial establishments generate a lot of assorted waste. Rather than store waste in the traditional open-top containers, you should instead use trash compactors. This results in cost reductions and collection efficiency due to reduced waste volumes. Besides, trash compactors are more aesthetic in terms of appearance, unlike the traditional open-top containers that sometimes overflow with unsightly waste.
5. Hospitals and Other Medical Establishments
The healthcare industry generates a lot of wet and dry waste that should be handled with extreme care. Fortunately, there is a range of compactors that are ideally suited to handle such waste. These include vertical balers, self-contained and vertical compactors.
Self-contained compactors are recommended for handling waste that contains a high level of liquid content. Vertical compactors are ideal for handling both dry and wet waste using an enhanced front-load, open-top container. Vertical balers, on the other hand, are designed with the user in mind. They feature a large opening and a low feed to allow easy disposal of waste.
6. Retail
The retail sector is a massive generator of all manner of waste, which ranges from recyclable materials, wet waste, dry waste, etc. A retail waste management system should, therefore, be able to handle the assorted waste generated by the industry. Such a system should be able to maximize space use and reduce waste handling costs.
Depending on the waste type, you can use vertical compactors to handle dry and wet waste, stationary compactors (to handle dry and recyclable waste), a pre-crusher to drastically reduce waste volumes, and vertical balers to allow easy end-user operation.
Trash compactors reduce waste volumes through compaction. They can be used for almost any type of industrial waste.
