Environmental Benefits of Waste Compaction
Waste compaction is the eco-friendly process of reducing the amount of waste volume inside open-top dumpsters through compaction methods. We take pride in our ability to reduce the carbon emissions of businesses by limiting the number of inefficient hauler vehicles on the road. A third-party independent research study shows a drastic improvement in the environmental impact of businesses that use Smash My Trash services. Reducing waste volume inside open-top dumpsters leads to more savings and fewer required hauls. This makes managing waste easier and more eco-friendly than ever.

155 million pounds of CO2
reduced in 2022
A third-party objective assessment completed by Trinity Consultants, a renowned and trusted environmental consultant firm, verified that the Smash My Trash service directly and drastically reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 155.3 million pounds annually. This is equivalent to removing more than 15,100 passenger cars from American roads each year.
Carbon Reduction Backed By Scientific Data
Using an environmental impact tool, Trinity Consultants were able to measure the actual environmental impact of SMT services. Through baseline scenarios, real-world data, and emission calculations, their findings give us a critical look at the carbon footprint impact as a whole.

More Space, Smaller Footprint
More space – in your dumpster, on our roads, and in the landfill
By Smashing the trash in your dumpster, we reduce waste volume by up to 70%. This allows you to remove more materials with fewer hauls, saving you time and money. Fewer hauls mean far fewer garbage trucks on our local roads. Mobile compaction also reduces the need for space in landfills.
How Does Waste Compaction with Smash My Trash Help the Environment?
Dumpster compaction can play a vital part in lowering carbon emissions for businesses. This is possible by limiting the necessity of a hauler driving a client’s waste off-site and to a transfer station or landfill. Through fewer waste hauls, our energy-efficient Smash Trucks, and a reduced waste volume we see results that point towards a greener planet.
Fewer Waste Hauls
Through the third-party study conducted by Trinity Consultants, we’ve found the emission reductions associated with waste hauling are directly proportional to the amount of waste generated. The more waste a company generates, the higher the potential for savings in waste hauling. That reduction in hauls means fewer fuel-intensive hauler vehicles on the road.
Energy Efficient Vehicles
The success of Smash My Trash services couldn’t be possible without energy-efficient mobile waste compaction vehicles. The Smash Truck® is distinct because of its compliance with state emission standards. They are Clean-Idle certified vehicles with a much smaller carbon footprint than the average dumpster-hauling truck.
Reduced Waste Volume
Compacting waste has a few long-term benefits to waste management. Depending on the compaction levels of the waste being smashed, waste compaction can assist in enhancing the biodegradation process. Additionally, these materials are optimizing total landfill space by needing less room than materials that aren’t compact.
