Overview
A self-contained compactor joins the compactor and the container into one sealed, liquid-tight unit. That makes it the standard choice wherever the waste is wet: food scraps, produce, kitchen waste and anything else that leaks.
When the unit is full, your hauler picks up the whole machine with a roll-off truck, empties it and sets it back in place. Because liquids stay inside the container, the pad stays cleaner and odors and pests are easier to control, especially with an enclosed hopper.
| Container sizes | Commonly 15 to 40 cubic yards |
|---|---|
| Waste type | Wet and mixed waste |
| Loading | Ground, dock, chute or cart tipper |
| Power | Usually three-phase electric; confirmed at site survey |
| Site needs | Level concrete pad with roll-off truck access |
Figures are typical ranges. Exact specifications depend on the model we match to your site.

Trade-In Program โCommon Questions
A self-contained compactor is one sealed unit, so liquids stay inside and the whole machine is hauled to be emptied. A stationary compactor stays bolted to the pad and only its detachable container is hauled, which suits dry waste.
It depends on how much waste you generate and how often you want it hauled. Most units fall between 15 and 40 cubic yards. We size the unit from your current container sizes and pickup schedule.
