Is your multi family facility’s trash room looking like something out of a nightmare. Does your trash enclosure smell worse than you can describe? Do you have trash compactors that just aren’t working for you anymore? These are common challenges. When your compaction equipment goes down the trash piles up quickly.
While this scenario happens to everyone eventually you may feel like it’s happening more and more often to your team. It may be time to get a newer trash compactor. That can be a challenging task. Here are a few steps to help you find a solution that won’t slow down your waste stream to the point where you feel like you’re swimming in a toxic mess.
- Identify a partner who specializes in waste compaction equipment in your area. For instance, Direct Compactor and Baler’s current service area is the state of Texas so we can support anyone in Texas but you would need a different partner in Arkansas, Illinois, New York, etc.
- Decide what the best equipment for your situation is. Just because something was installed before doesn’t mean that it fully meets your needs now. Your partner can help walk you through your use case and understand precisely what you need to keep your waste stream flowing.
- Decide whether you are going to purchase or rent. With a purchase you own the trash compactor outright. That also means that you are responsible for all repairs, installation, deinstallation, etc. You will pay up front, and you will be left with an asset to prorate. On the other hand, you have the option to rent. For a small monthly fee, a company like Direct Compactor and Baler will take care of all installs, repairs, deinstalls, and other costs associated with the operation of your equipment. The rent is typically tax deductible, and you don’t have to worry about coming up with $5,000.00 or more for a repair a year down the road.
