Waste management is a major logistical concern for most industrial enterprises due to the large amounts of waste that they may produce when manufacturing products. Providing your business with a dumpster can be one of the most basic steps that you take to meet this need, but you may be able to substantially increase the storage capacity of this dumpster by using a crushing system.
Use Dumpster Crushing Systems To Increase Your Dumpster Storage Capacity
Much of the waste that your business may be deposited in the dumpster may be much larger than it is heavy. This can create a situation where the space in the dumpster is not being utilized in an efficient way. A perfect example of this type of waste is cardboard boxes as these containers may be fairly large while being extremely lightweight. A dumpster crushing system will have the capability of smashing these larger items so that they will taker up a much smaller amount of the space in your dumpster, which can allow your business to go for much longer periods before it will need to have its dumpster emptied.
Stay Within The Weight Limit For The Dumpster System
Dumpster crushing systems will significantly increase the amount of waste that you can fit into your dumpster. However, these systems can have the side effect of making it easy to accidentally overload the dumpster. If you are renting your company's dumpsters, there are likely weight limits that will need to be followed to ensure that the provider is able to empty the container. Avoiding exceeding the weight limit of the dumpsters will be especially necessary when you are crushing items that are somewhat dense or otherwise heavy.
Understand The Types Of Items The Crushing System Will Be Unable To Handle
While a modern dumpster crushing system will be able to compact most of the materials that are placed in these containers, there are some substances that the dumpster crushing system will be ill-suited or unable to affect. An example of this can be most types of construction debris and thick metal items. These materials are likely to be too strong to be successfully crushed by basic dumpster crushing and compacting systems. Rather, you will need to purchase a system that is designed for these thick and strong materials. In addition to being more effective at compacting these materials, these heavy-duty crushers will be less likely to suffer burnout or other failures as a result of being used on these stronger materials.
