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.

Serious Stewardship

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.

As a radical new solution to traditional, outdated waste removal, we get it - you have questions. And we have the answer!

*PLACE HOLDER*
What exactly is Smash My Trash?

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.

What are the environmental benefits of this service?

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.

Does this damage my dumpster?

Absolutely not. Our proprietary technology is engineered from the ground up to Smash trash while protecting dumpsters. Smash Trucks are engineered with precision German and North American components and are equipped with exclusive drum guards that ensure no part of our Mobile Smash Machines™ can contact a dumpster’s inner walls, doors, or flooring. Our operators complete extensive nationwide training while following our strict “ZERO-TOUCH” policy. And all Smashes are video recorded at multiple angles, to protect our operators and our customers.

How often do you come to my business?

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.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. We strive to be your partner, not just your vendor. We do this by providing a flexible, customized solution for your trash. This includes collaborating closely with your corporate team as well as your local offices. We also regularly review our service agreement to ensure we are providing you real, measurable value. If necessary, we can adapt to your changing operations to continue providing you the best customer-first service you come to expect from Smash My Trash.
