-compaction of wasteIt is the process of compacting the size of the waste and reducing the size to be

in smaller size. This process used garbage compactors and waste collection
vehicles to compress waste so that the space can be used to stored more waste
collected. Waste then is compacted again more thoroughly at the landfill to
conserve valuable airspace and to extend the landfills life span. The negative
effect of this process is if there is an evidence crime in the waste, it will be
difficult to find it again after it is being compressed. All Waste Management
equipment operators receive extensive training with regard to working face
operational methods. The working face develops throughout each working day as
layer after layer of waste is placed and compacted.
