Believe it or not, there are building management teams out there paying for extra dumpster capacity due to the lack of a compactor. These units are a great alternative to crushing trash with a forklift on a busy holiday, but you want to make an informed decision on which to purchase.

• Capacity – The compactor unit should be sized to where the duty cycle versus cost makes sense. An oversized unit may not be the most appropriate option, but an undersized unit will wear faster and be more problematic.
• Automation – Is your building trash throughput as such to where you need an automatic unit? This is a consideration when labor cannot be provided to clear the trash discharge area before the chute gets clogged.
• Design – Don't know what design is best fit for your building, or are you looking for the quietest? There is a checklist of considerations that should be referenced prior to purchasing any compactor.
