Title: Dumpster or Trash Compactor – What is Right for your Business?

Content: Dumpsters typically range from 10-Yard containers to 30-yard containers. They are often
emptied by a waste hauler on a weekly or biweekly basis

Companies such as retail and shopping centers, quick service restaurants, or hospitality businesses who
have high traffic and generate a lot of trash each day use trash compactor.

Trash compactors fit more trash than dumpsters because the trash is compressed each time trash it
dumped into it. A trash compactor doesn’t fill up as quickly as a dumpster and therefore doesn’t need as
many pickups by the waste hauler.

If you can afford to invest for a new equipment to give solution in your dumpster issues such as
overflowing garbage, inevitable presence of foul odor and pests, and high expenses for frequent
use of waste hauling services then trash compactor is what you need.

Title: The Case for Trash Compactors

Content: A Panera Bread restaurant in San Francisco, CA, considerably reduced its waste stream and
costs by installing a trash compactor and implementing an aggressive recycling program.

“No one has time to take trash to the dumpster, so it piles up and becomes a hassle. Compactors make
waste manageable,” says Peter Spano, president of manufacturer and consultant Global Trash Solutions.
Global Trash Solutions helped a Panera Bread restaurant in San Francisco shift from an 8-yard dumpster
hauled four or five days a week to a 4-yard dumpster hauled just once a week. Prior to installing the
compactor, they paid over $2,400 per month for disposal. Now they pay about $1,000 per month. The
average cost for Panera’s compactor model is $12,500.

Trash compactors can be an integral part of recycling initiatives. Mercy Hospital in Cedar Rapids, IA, is
using one of the first compactors of its kind: a dual chamber machine for both trash and recyclables. It
compacts waste on one side and holds paper, plastic, and cans on the other side. Those materials are
then separated at a local recycling plant.
