Waste Compactors: What are the benefits?

If your company produces a lot of waste, the cost to your business could be high if you don’t take steps to reduce its waste as much as possible.

Static and portable compactors are an efficient and practical way of dealing with high volumes of waste of all kinds, whether it’s to collect paper, cardboard or plastics to be recycled, food waste, or general mixed waste destined for landfill.

They’ll save your company money

By significantly reducing the volume of your waste, you’ll cut the cost of its removal. You can also separate and compact recyclable materials and may even be able to sell it on to a recycling company. With smaller amounts of waste, you’ll be spending less on the Landfill Tax.

Compactors are easy to maintain, and if used properly and serviced regularly, should last a long time.

It makes your company more efficient

After basic training, your staff will be able to operate a commercial compactor, helping to increase efficiency when it comes to getting rid of waste.

Gives you more space

A compactor will help you reduce the volume of waste by up to 90%! This means you’ll need to store it for longer between collections, but with volumes decreased by this much, that won’t be a problem.

Improves looks and reduces smells

By using a compactor to deal with waste, there’s no need to have overflowing rubbish bins at your workplace which are unsightly and can be embarrassing when showing clients around. What’s more, the compactor will help reduce the kind of nasty smells that are so attractive to insects and vermin.

Boost your green credentials

Compactors will help you recycle more and send less waste to landfill, not only helping the environment, but also helping to position you as as ethical in the eyes of clients and potential clients.
