Static Compactors

About Static Compactors

A waste compactor is designed to compress and minimise the volume of waste material. Used commercially for non-recyclable waste with hydraulic pressure. A compactor can manage cardboard, paper, plastic, aluminium, food waste among other general waste.

Compacted waste reduces the number of collections required from waste collection services and increases the volume that can be collected on each occasion.
