If you are looking for a reason to get an industrial trash compactor, let us help! Here is a list of the best reasons to get a trash compactor.
- You’re paying too much to haul your trash. A compactor has a 4 to 1 compaction ratio and requires fewer pick-ups for the same amount of waste. Each pick up you don’t have is money you save!
- They cost less than you think. Whether you purchase new or refurbished units they are relatively small purchases compared to many other business expenses.
- They are durable and can be repaired in most cases. So, once you have one installed you won’t need another for 7 to 10 years on average.
- Their purchase, in many cases, is tax deductible. They are an asset to be depreciated for accounting teams. Please see your tax advisor for more details.
- They can be rented. In most cases renting is the right way to go because you don’t have to worry about the installation or future repair costs. You just pay a relatively low monthly rate, and we take care of the rest. Not to mention, you aren’t out all that upfront money.
- They can usually be installed relatively quickly. So, if you decide today, you can get one in a matter of weeks.
- All you need to do on the customer side is to get an electrician to run power to the installation site. Our team will do the rest.
- They can be used for either general waste or recyclables. We recommend compacting your cardboard and plastics separate from everything else to divert those from your general waste stream. A recycling hauler will pick those up helping you to recycle and they may even pay you for the product. You can go green while making money.
- A Trash compactor can help many businesses future proof their waste stream by providing more waste bandwidth than a dumpster. Many companies get one as they begin to grow.
- Compactors help limit bug and pest infestation in your waste stream by containing your waste in a steel compactor as opposed to an open can. They can even help with the smell.
*BONUS*
- Compactors can reduce theft by using secured access. This closed off means of use will help reduce shrink. As well as eliminating the community dumping in your waste stream.
