Self-contained compactors by Harmony Enterprises Inc. are designed to be extremely durable in areas where sanitary, efficient, and affordable waste management is of upmost importance. Self-contained compactors are designed specifically for both dry or wet waste. Sometimes referred to as “roll off” compactors, the compactor and container are permanently attached to each other. When full, the entire unit is dumped or loaded onto a roll-off truck for transportation to the landfill.
Self-contained compactors are also a great solution for confined areas where space is a concern. They are highly customizable to meet your specific needs – whether that means loading waste from a dock, chute feeding, or ground level.
Benefits of using a self-contained compactor
Like stationary compactors, Harmony’s self-contained compactors not only significantly reduce your waste footprint by 4:1, they reduce common hazards related to odor, vermin, pilferage, and fire normally associated with trash that accumulates in work areas or open top dumpsters.
Harmony’s compactors have safe and simple operation. Often times, their power units and control boxes are located inside a work area, keeping employees safe from outside weather or security concerns. Self-contained compactors reduce your disposal costs and save your company labor and time, making your business more profitable. Investing in a self-contained trash compactor helps to improve your business’ appearance, while increasing workplace safety. Since it requires little floor space and is available with so many options, a self-contained compactor from Harmony Enterprises has become the choice of leading businesses worldwide!
