At Keystone Waste Solutions, we have extensive experience in waste management. Over the years, we have worked with clients in a wide range of industries, and we are confident we can help you deal with your waste management needs, whatever they may be. When deciding what type of waste containers you need for your project or ongoing operations, one question you should ask is whether you need compaction or not. In this article, our team will go over a few factors to consider when deciding between standard and compaction roll-off containers.
- Collection Schedule — One thing to think about when deciding whether to use compaction roll-off containers or standard models is how frequently you want to empty the containers. Trash pick-up services cost money, and the more frequently you need to have your containers emptied, the higher the costs will be. Our compaction containers allow for less frequent pick-up services, as they can crush large amounts of trash into a very small volume, meaning it will take longer before the containers are truly at capacity.
- Sanitation and Pest Control — Two more important benefits of compaction roll-off containers are improved sanitation and pest control. Standard containers leave waste material loose inside and can be accessed by dumpster divers and by wildlife. This allows garbage and the germs on it to be spread around your site, creating a health risk. Our compaction containers keep all trash safely inside, preventing the spread of germs and deterring pests.
- Convenience — A third thing to consider when choosing between standard and compaction roll-off containers is the level of convenience each has to offer. Because compaction containers do not need to be emptied as frequently, they require fewer visits from garbage trucks, which keeps the roads around your site clear and allows for more convenient driving.
