When considering a waste compactor, many businesses picture large, industrial machines that dominate space. However, not every site requires a full-sized compactor. Whether youโre limited on space, produce lower volumes of waste, or simply want to improve your waste management without disrupting your current processes, smaller compactors can provide an ideal solution.
For businesses with restricted space, or smaller waste outputs, the decision to invest in a smaller compactor can significantly reduce costs and improve site efficiency. These machines offer the same key benefits as their larger counterparts, like reducing waste volume, cutting disposal costs, and maintaining site cleanliness. They are perfect for environments like warehouses, retail stores, or smaller manufacturing sites that need to optimise waste management and keep operations running.
If your business primarily relies on wheelie bins for waste disposal, a rubbish press for wheelie bins like the MT240 is ideal. This in-bin compactor reduces residual waste volume by up to 85%, helping you make the most of your existing bins while cutting down on costly collections. With a compact design and at under two meters tall, the MT240 fits comfortably in tight spaces. If you use public waste pick-up services, nothing needs to change โ you simply present your compacted bins for collection as usual. By minimising overflowing bins, this bin press keeps waste areas tidy, reducing mess and improving site safety.
Another high-performing option in the Strautmann range is the RC1100 in-bin compactor. This bin compacting machine delivers significant cost savings and efficiency, reducing waste volume by around 85%. At under two meters tall and one meter wide, the RC1100 is an excellent choice for smaller sites where space is at a premium. Despite its compact size, its performance still ensures fewer waste collections and reduced downtime. For businesses struggling with overflowing bins, these compactors provide a simple and effective solution for keeping waste under control.
For sites producing medium to high volumes of waste but are hampered by a limitation on space, a static compactor like the Durapac CB1250SS is a game-changer. With a 30-tonne press force, it efficiently handles larger quantities of waste and recyclables while maintaining a small footprint. The CB1250SS combines impressive pressing power with a design tailored for confined spaces, perfect for businesses producing general and recyclable waste, and who want to reduce collections and disposal costs.
