Industries Our Mobile Waste Compaction Company Serves
Mobile Dumpster compaction Service in Colorado
As a radical solution to traditional, outdated waste removal, we get it – you have questions. And we have the answer!
We are a mobile waste compaction company. Our proprietary Smash Trucks® safely and efficiently compact the waste in open-top dumpsters by as much as 70%. This allows customers to add more waste to their dumpsters with fewer hauls, saving time and money, as well as the headaches often associated with late, inconsistent, and expensive haulers.
By reducing the number of hauls, we reduce the number of garbage trucks on the road. In fact, Smash My Trash reduces CO2 emissions by more than 155 million pounds annually – equivalent to removing 15,000 cars from the road each year. Additionally, compacted materials take up far less space in landfills.
As often as you wish! By personalizing our service to fit your specific needs, we only smash your trash when it makes sense to you. We offer a variety of service plans, and we document every smash with photos and videos so you can see exactly how much compaction happens. We also let you know when it’s time to call your hauler. This means no more guesswork and no more waiting – two common complaints we hear from our customers about their haulers.

Experience the Power of Mobile Dumpster Compaction
After being a senior executive at several companies, my wife and I had the desire to become entrepreneurs and to serve the local community. Through an exhaustive search, it became apparent that Smash My Trash had the right balance of innovation and providing something unique to Colorado Springs that put money back in small business owners’ hands. Since I was used to the ever-changing threat landscape in the cybersecurity field, I felt that the challenge of disrupting the waste industry while helping the environment was something the local community could benefit from.
