INDUSTRIAL TRASH COMPACTORS - BASIC CRITERIA FOR IMPLEMENTATION
Reducing waste is something that any company wants to do. The
problem is that waste is not glamorous so it usually gets put on the back burner
when cost reduction and streamlining initiatives are being considered. This can
sometimes mean that Waste Equipment such as Industrial Trash Compactors is long
overdue at a facility by the time it is actually implemented. Mismanaged waste
can have tremendous negative side effects or trickle down effects. Oftentimes
businesses get into a habit of handling trash a certain way that is very much
inefficient and these routines continue to prevail even though it is easy to see
that the business is just a decision away from saving 15 – 50% per year on their
annual waste hauling costs. Aside from their obvious benefits, industrial trash
compactors have many side benefits as well. And without assessing the overall
needs of an individual business, purchasing options can seem muddled and
worthless. Consider the following things before implementing industrial trash
compactors:
·
Amount of Waste being generated – The amount of waste being generated is one of
the primary considerations for knowing which type of industrial compactor you
will need. By taking a quick look at your current waste hauling requirements you
can easily determine what type of cubic yardage and waste weights you are
generating on a monthly basis and this will help determine which category of
industrial trash compactors to focus on.
·
Personnel and waste flows – Another important factor in deciding on an
industrial compactor is your personnel and your waste flows. For example, these
factors may determine whether you can benefit most from an indoor industrial
compactor or an outdoor industrial compactor. No two organizations are the same,
even when they are in the same line of business, with the same number of
employees and the same facility layout and so forth. Every circumstance is
different and must be treated that way in order to leverage the resources and
equipment in the right way.
·
Waste Hauler Arrangements – Oftentimes a
determining factor in getting the right payback on your purchase is the
contractual arrangements you have with the waste hauler. If you are in a long
term contract with a hauler that states a pick-up schedule which cannot be
deviated from until the expiration of the term, then the equipment will provide
little savings. On the other hand if you are on a month to month arrangement
with a waste hauler then you are in the best position for maximizing the
benefits of an industrial trash compactor.
Choosing the right course for an industrial trash compactor
for your business can require a little bit of time. It is important to
understand the different types of industrial compactors and the main features
and the added benefits of each as it applies to your situation. Like any other
equipment decision, ensure that you’re getting the right fit for your specific
application.
If the proper payback evaluations have been performed ahead
of time, which includes things like understanding how you are being charged for
your current waste hauling services, and what your options are as it relates to
changing waste hauling companies, you can maximize your return on investment.
Whether you are in a franchised area (where one hauler has to be utilized) or in
a rural location with few choices, there is usually several angles available to
everyone for saving lots of money on their waste hauling requirements. And
typically those different paths will involve an industrial compactor as part of
the equation.
