Types of Trash Compactors

For many businesses, institutions, construction companies, residential complexes, and more—garbage compactors are considered a must-have. Not only can they help to reduce the amount of waste that is collected, but compactors come with a number of additional (and lesser known) benefits. Here at Flood Brothers, we not only provide the best in Chicago waste managementrecycling, and dumpster rental—but also a complete variety of compactor solutions, ranging from common sizes and uses all the way to completely custom compactor creations.

Which Compactor is Right for You?

Stationary Compactor

Stationary compactors are typically used in industrial and manufacturing facilities that generate large volumes of dry, bulky waste. The compactor is bolted in place, and the waste material is packed into a receiver box. When the compactor is full, the receiver box is hauled away to be emptied -- and the compactor remains in place. These compactors have loading chambers ranging between 1-4 cubic yards and can be configured for all types of loading.

Self-Container Compactor

This type of compactor is designed to handle high liquid volume applications. The compactor and container are one unit.  When the container is full, the entire unit is hauled away to be emptied.  High volumes of liquids are held inside the unit; it is emptied at the landfill. These types of compactors have loading chambers ranging from 1-2 cubic yards, and container sizes ranging from 10-30 cubic yards.

Vertical Compactor

The vertical compactor packs waste down into a removable container.  All liquids are held in the container until it is removed from the unit to be dumped. It can be configured for rear and front load pick-up, and multiple containers can be kept on site -- thus decreasing the frequency of pick-up.

Apartment Compactor

This type of compactor is designed for use in high rise residential buildings. Apartment compactors are typically chute fed and are controlled by an electric photo-eye. Containers for this type of compactor are typically 2 cubic yards in size. Multiple containers can be kept on site and switched out when they are full.

Benefits of Trash Compactors for Your Business

  • The most obvious reason to many business owners is the potential reduction in collection costs, by utilizing the compactor to reduce the size of trash collected from the business.
  • In addition, due to the potential reduction in the number of garbage pickups needed, the impact on your trash to the environment is reduced -- helping your company stay "green!"
  • Trash compactors can help the public image of your business. By preventing unsightly windblown trash and overflowing containers, a compactor can keep public facing areas of your business clean and free of unwanted trash that may escape.
  • They can help prevent inventory "shrinkage" and "back door" employee theft, representing further savings and reducing risk for your business.
  • Compactors can cut down on unauthorized dumping into your trash containers.
  • Trash compactors can help subdue odors and even help control rodent and pest issues.
  • Wear and tear on parking surfaces can be reduced over time

Need a Custom Compactor or Dumpster?

Many times during our 80+ years of Chicago garbage service, we've found that off-the-rack solutions -- while excellent in most cases -- simply weren't enough for some of our clients.

Over the years, the Flood Brothers team has developed the expertise to custom fabricate waste management equipment for our clients. In other words, we'll work directly with your business to develop custom trash service equipment, designing a solution to fit your needs perfectly. Perhaps you need to fit a trash compactor into a certain allowable space, or need a specific dumpster size that isn't as common.

For custom trash equipment needs, call Flood Brothers at (630) 261-0400 or contact us online.
