Using our compactor hire service limits the amount of storage space you need onsite. Able to hold large amounts of waste, a compactor will also reduce the number of trips you need to make back and forth to empty the container, saving time, money and reducing your business’s carbon footprint.
A compactor has a hydraulic metal ram at the top of the container which crushes the waste to reduce its surface area. Once the operator has loaded the compactor and secured it, the ram is activated and compacting begins.
Most material can be compacted, but there are some exceptions. Toxic flammable and explosive materials, batteries and liquids should never enter a compactor, as the pressure applied during the process can result in destruction and injury.
