Commercial Waste and Recycling in Oak Ridge, TN

Should I use a commercial waste compactor?

If you own a commercial property and generate a large amount of compactible material (or you have limited space for collecting material), you should seriously consider utilizing a trash compactor as part of your waste management plan, if you aren't already.

Advantages of a commercial waste compactor:

• Greatly reduces waste management costs
• Minimizes the chances of developing a pest problem
• Improves the overall appearance of the property

What types of commercial waste compactors are there?

Compactors come in many shapes and sizes, allowing them to meet a wide range of commercial waste needs.

Common Types of Compactors

• Vertical compactors: Great for when a customer generates a large volume of waste but has limited space
• Apartment compactors: Widely used in high-rise apartment buildings; normally use 'chutes' to move the waste materials to the waste containers at the lower levels of the building.
• Roll-off compactors (stationary or breakaway): Involve a ground-mounted compactor connected to a removable roll-off container; used when there are large volumes of dry, compactible materials being generated and there is no space limitation issue
