Frequently Asked Questions About Mobile Waste Compaction in Pueblo, CO

Smash My Trash utilizes a proprietary mobile compaction truck, our Smash Truck, to visit your facility or jobsite and compact all sorts of commercial waste within open-top roll-off dumpsters. A highly trained operator safely compacts your trash and frees up valuable dumpster space, all in about 15 minutes.

This process:

  • Compacts bulky waste including pallets, packaging, and cardboard
  • Frees up more space in your existing open-top dumpster
  • Allows you to delay unnecessary hauls and reduce operational disruptions

The result? A cleaner, more efficient waste strategy with less downtime.

Absolutely. Safety is central to our process. Each Smash Truck is operated by a trained technician who follows strict protocols to protect your personnel, your facility, and the dumpster. With Smash My Trash’s ZERO TOUCH policy, our compaction process only touches your trash, not the container. And every smash is documented with multiple on-board cameras for added quality assurance.

Typically, clients in Pueblo and beyond report saving 15% to 20% on total waste costs after Smash My Trash. These savings come from:

  • Fewer haul charges

While many of our customers prefer routed service for consistent cost savings, we also offer project-based and on-demand options for things like:
