Our range
Portable compactors offer a clean, efficient and space-saving solution for managing waste on site. Designed as self-contained units, they’re ideal for businesses producing wet or messy waste streams, as their sealed construction prevents leaks and contains odours. With the compactor and container built into a single unit, they’re easy to use, while also reducing the number of collections required.
Overview
What are portable compactors?
A portable compactor is a sealed, self-contained waste compactor that compresses waste directly into its inbuilt container. Because the unit is fully enclosed, it’s particularly well suited to handling wet or food-based waste, effectively containing any liquids, minimising odours, and improving hygiene on site. Once full, the entire unit is collected and emptied off site before being returned, making it a flexible and low-maintenance option for a wide range of industries.
By input
What materials does it compact?
Portable compactors are designed to handle a broad mix of waste types. Their sealed construction makes them particularly suitable for wet waste, food waste and catering waste, as well as general waste that may contain moisture. They’re equally effective with dry recyclables such as cardboard, paper and plastic packaging. Light industrial waste and mixed recyclables can also be compacted with ease, making portable compactors a versatile choice for a variety of commercial and industrial applications.

Benefits of a portable compactor
01
Sealed for Liquid Retention
Portable compactors are fully enclosed units, making them an ideal solution for businesses handling wet or food-based waste. Their sealed construction prevents leaks and spills, containing liquids effectively and helping to maintain cleaner, safer waste areas. This also reduces the risk of attracting pests or generating unpleasant odours.
02
Compact Design, Big Results
Despite their high compaction force and large internal capacity, portable compactors have a relatively compact footprint. This makes them perfect for sites where space is at a premium, such as retail yards, hospitality venues, or commercial kitchens, without compromising on performance.
03
Fewer Collections, Lower Costs
By significantly reducing the volume of waste, portable compactors decrease the number of collections required. This not only helps to cut waste handling costs but also reduces vehicle movements to and from site, supporting environmental goals and easing site traffic.
04
Easy to Use with Minimal Disruption
Portable compactors are designed with simplicity in mind. With straightforward controls and a user-friendly layout, they’re easy to operate with minimal training. Their self-contained design means day-to-day use is clean and hassle-free, allowing staff to manage waste efficiently without interrupting the flow of business.

Improves Site Hygiene and Presentation
