Why Use Apartment Building Compactors?
Open top dumpsters can lead to greater expense and risks with odor, vermin, fire, and pilferage.
Apartment building owners utilize many different ways to manage tenant waste. Some require tenants to carry their own trash to an open top dumpster area on an individual floor or in the garage. Some have chute fed systems that funnel into a standard dumpster on a lower level, to be emptied by a hauler on a frequent schedule. All of these solutions are easy, but cost more in hauling, and expose building managers to the problems related to odor, theft, pilferage, vermin, and fire hazards, not to mention increased costs with more frequent hauling and increase space taken up in the landfill.
One way to mitigate these problems is to utilize an apartment building compactor. Similar to the hydraulic compactors used in retail settings, apartment building compactors are designed to receive waste either from a chute system, or can be manually fed by a door opening on the machine. Depending on the model, their compaction force reduces waste by as much as 10X its normal size.
The benefits of apartment building compactors include:
- Improved experience for tenants and guests, not having to see unsightly trash.
- Reduced problems with odor.
- Reduced fire hazards.
- Reduced issues with vermin.
- Cost savings with fewer hauls to the landfill. If your compactor provides a 4:1 compaction ratio, for example, that means you would need only 1 pick up for every four with a traditional open top dumpster system!
- The peace of mind knowing that your compacted waste takes up much less space in the landfill, reducing the potential burden on the waste stream and creating fewer CO2 emissions in the atmosphere with fewer monthly pulls.
