A commercial trash compactor can save your business money and time. It’s an environmentally sustainable option that reduces the amount of trash that is dumped in a landfill. If your business generates a lot of trash or you want to minimize commercial waste disposal costs, learn more about the benefits of a trash compactor below. 

3 Benefits of Using a Trash Compactor at Your Business

1. Decrease Costs

A trash compactor can streamline waste management by decreasing the amount and bulk of trash that needs to go to the landfill, thereby decreasing commercial waste disposal costs. Trash compactors can be used solely for food waste, as in restaurant applications, or for compressing trash or recyclables in other businesses. Having a commercial trash compactor may alleviate the need for extra smaller garbage containers and supplies like garbage bags.

2. Improve Sanitation

Many businesses generate trash that must be stored in bags in between their commercial waste disposal pick-ups. Garbage in bags, even placed in a dumpster, can attract pests such as bugs and rodents. Additionally, the bags can begin to smell, causing people near your building to experience an overpowering scent. An overflowing dumpster or trash pile is unappealing to customers. With a compactor, there is no need to have excess garbage piling up. This makes the workplace cleaner for employees and customers.

3. Eco-Friendly

A commercial trash compactor will create trash bales that take up less space in a landfill or recycling facility. Since trash is going directly into the compactor, rather than a dumpster or multiple trash cans, there are fewer plastic bags going into the landfill as well. Because a compactor reduces the frequency of commercial waste disposal services, this saves on gasoline and diesel.
