Outdoor compactors such as these can help prevent contamination of work areas as well as public areas. Like other compactors, the benefits of Self Contained Compactors are numerous. Unlike Stationary Compactors, the Self Contained Compactor is designed so that the compactor is attached to the container and the entire machine is hauled to the disposal site.
