It’s true that a loose pile of waste will take up far more space than a compacted one, and this is where the importance of compactors comes into play. Because of the need for space conservation, the job of a compactor is to be able to take a large amount of waste, and transform it into a block much smaller. Here are a few benefits to compactors.
Less Garbage Space
A compactor is great addition due to the amount of space it can save. Loose and uncompacted trash can take up to 20 times more space than compacted, and this is important when you’re really conscious of how much space is really being taken up. In turn, waste hauling costs can be reduced as well, due to the lower amount of trips it would take to haul the waste away.
Improved Image And Sanitation
Because loose trash isn’t appealing, compacted trash at least projects the image of conscious decisions to be mindful of it all. This also gives you the opportunity to store it much easier, with no worry of loose trash getting out, and saving as many as 20 bags, in attempts to reduce the usage to one large bag. Sanitary standards are much higher, as rodents don’t typically live in compacted trash, whereas they do for uncompacted. This presents a much cleaner facility for those passing by, and for those who work in the area.
