A recycling compactor is a modern waste management solution

Compactors process large volumes of business waste, making it easier to store, transport and recycle them, helping businesses save time and money.

Recycling compactors compress recyclable waste into smaller sizes, expelling the air so that they can be kept in a contained area, where they take up less space and create a hygienic work environment. The compacted material is more appealable to recyclers who can collect it in bulk and process it in large volumes.

Once the compactor is full, a recycling company collects the material and delivers it to a waste recycling facility.
