Successful facilities managers understand the importance of efficiency. From buildings and grounds, to infrastructure, safety and security - facility management requires efficient and reliable operations all around.

One of the biggest challenges to business operations is also one of the most overlooked. We’re talking about commercial waste. Take a moment and ask yourself this question: “Do I truly understand how we manage our waste process today?” If your answer isn’t a confident “Yes,” don’t worry - you’re not alone!

One of the most common things we hear from facilities managers is they didn’t even realize they had an operational problem, until they discovered mobile waste compaction as a solution. That’s because waste is an oversight and an afterthought for most businesses, regardless of size or scope. Your company generates waste, you dispose of it in your dumpster and you move on. Sounds straightforward enough, right? That’s the problem! The reality is, commercial waste management is generally far more expensive than it needs to be. These costs and complications slow operations and expose your team to greater workplace safety risks. Surely there has to be a better way?

There is, and it’s so much easier than you might think. Mobile waste compaction is an innovative solution many facilities managers are starting to use. Open-top, roll-off dumpsters are standard for companies that generate high volumes of waste. Think facilities such as warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturers, freight and logistics hubs, and more. Also standard for these industries is the type of waste generated - crates and pallets, cardboard and paper, plastics and packaging, and general trash. In other words, loose, bulky materials that quickly “fill” these big dumpsters, robbing them of valuable space. This means more frequent hauls, more costs and more complications.

Here’s what industry experts should know: mobile waste compaction is a service that comes to your facility to quickly and efficiently compact the waste inside your open-top dumpsters. In about 10-15 minutes, it can create up to 70% more space inside those containers, which drastically reduces the number of necessary hauls and saves your team lots of money - typically 15-25% of your total waste spend. It is also good for the environment, helping customers reach sustainability goals thanks to Scope 3 emissions reductions. In 2024, nationwide, we reduced CO2 emissions by more than 84 million pounds - that’s like removing nearly 9,000 cars off American roads annually. Mobile compaction is easy to implement and requires no equipment rental, no personnel and no change to your daily operations.
