Refuse Garbage Compactors

Compactor trucks compress trash items so as to maximize the number of loads that can be transported at one time. Trash collection services will often use a compactor truck to collect waste and compress it within an enclosed bed in the rear of that truck.A landfill compaction vehicle has two main functions: to spread the waste evenly in layers over the landfill, and to compact waste to reduce its volume and help stabilize the landfill. Proper waste compacting includes the process of using a steel wheeled/drum landfill compactor to shred, tear and press together various items in the waste stream so they consume a minimal volume of landfill airspace. The higher the compaction rate, the more trash the landfill can receive and store.
