SELF-CONTAINED (ROLL-ON / ROLL-OFF) TRASH COMPACTORS

Many businesses and building owners may benefit from using self-contained (or roll-on / roll-off) compactors. These type of compactors can create more efficient waste management and prevent tampering or infestations.

Self Contained trash compactors operate mechanically, using a rolling bin that lifts trash into the compactor. Other than during operation, the compactor remains sealed.  Once the compactor is filled to approximately 80 percent capacity, a signal illuminates, and the hauler picks up the unit.

- Much of the initial cost invested in purchasing the compactor can be offset by lowered disposal costs.

- Roll-on roll-off compactors have a greater capacity for more waste when compared to traditional
  containers.

- Proper use of this type of compactor helps maintain a cleaner, neater waste management area. 
 
Trash pile-up or overflow is limited.

- Some units have an odor neutralizer available, which reduces smells and bacteria growth.

- Users do not have to store trash prior to compacting.

- Roll-on roll-of compactors must have authorized access to operate the system, which limits the
  unauthorized trash dumping.

- Waste haulers can make fewer trips to the site because of the space saved by compaction.

- Unlike traditional trash dumpsters, self-contained compactors are closed to rain and other elements,
  reducing rust and decay.  They are also more structurally sturdy and difficult to overload.

CONSIDERATIONS

- Obtain the space specifications of any self-contained / roll-on, roll-off compactor.  Verify truck
  requirements with your waste hauler.

- Check for any special electrical requirements for the compactor’s operation.

- Properly train all employees who will operate the compactor.  Training should cover potential hazards,
  proper operation, and control of energy sources, according to federal work standards.

- Compactors have a potential life of up to 20 years, depending on their maintenance.  Grease moving
  parts weekly to help prevent rust.  Change the hoist oil frequently. 

-
Consider the amount of waste generated by your business or building.  Too little volume would
  decrease the cost effectiveness of the compactor.

- Make sure there is enough space for the compactor to be moved in and out.

- If the compactor will reside above a parking lot or open underground area, verify the weight capacity
  of that structure.

 - Keep a record of control keys and authorized personnel who will use the compactor.  Federal
   regulations require at least two keys, one that remains in a manager’s office and one going with an
   employee who will operate the device.

Ensure that there is enough space for operator loading and maintenance.
