Compactors FAQs
A compactor is a machine that compresses general or industrial waste into a smaller volume using hydraulic pressure, reducing collection frequency and disposal costs. MHM offers both static compactors for permanent installations and portable compactors for flexible, leak-proof operation.
A baler produces tied, sellable bales from dry recyclables like cardboard and plastic—ideal for generating recycling revenue. A compactor reduces the volume of general or mixed waste for cheaper disposal. For dry recyclables, a baler is usually best; for general or wet waste, a compactor is more suitable.
Static compactors are permanently installed and feed waste into an attached container—ideal for consistent, high-volume waste. Portable compactors are self-contained and can be transported when full, making them better for sites needing flexibility, leak-proof operation, or multi-location use.
