What are the different types of commercial waste compactors?

Common Types of Compactors

• Vertical compactors: Great for when a company generates a large volume of waste but has limited space

• Apartment compactors: Widely used in high-rise apartment buildings; use 'chutes' to move the waste materials to waste containers at the lower levels of the building

• Roll-off compactors (stationary or breakaway): Involve a compactor connected to a removable roll-off container; used when there are large volumes of dry, compactable materials being generated and there is no issue with space
