compactors and balers

 
Aluminium cans for recycling
  1. Compactors: Waste compactors are used where high volumes of mixed waste or certain recyclable materials are generated on site. They can be purchased outright or rented from Greenstar. Compactors can be manually filled with bags of waste, or they can be fitted with a bin lift to allow safe and convenient emptying of wheelie bins.

    There are two types of compactors:

    Baler
    • Portable Compactor: The compactor mechanism and body is one unit. These are available in sizes ranging from 8m 3 to 26m 3. For servicing, the unit is disconnected from the electrical supply and taken to the nearest Greenstar Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) where it is emptied. It is then returned to the customer and re-connected to the electrical supply. These units are particularly suited to wet waste use as they are not opened on site.


    • Cardboard and paperStatic Compactor: The compactor mechanism is fixed on site and permanently wired to the electrical supply. The body, or compactor box, is secured to the compactor mechanism when in use. These boxes provide a larger capacity than the portable compactor, usually around 30m 3. For servicing, the box is disconnected and replaced with an empty box. These compactors are best suited for use with dry materials.
