Our Waste Compactors
Waste compactors are essential for proper waste management and can help businesses of all shapes and sizes to reduce space for waste on premises. They are a type of recycling equipment which is designed to store waste materials and recyclables in a compact and minimalist way, compared with standard bins and skips. Dicom compactors are some of the most reliable and trusted options available today and are used across a wide range of industries.
A waste compactor can reduce the amount of space used for storing waste by up to 90%, leaving more room on premises for other business activities. Dicom waste compactors are commonly used in offices, commercial businesses, schools, and industrial settings. Any premise which could benefit from reducing the amount of space used for storing waste should consider waste compactors as an effective solution.
These types of machines work by using hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical compression techniques to compact waste materials into a smaller space. Waste compactors can handle a wide range of refuse, whether that be bulky waste or organic waste. Our Dicom compactors are reliable, durable, and have been trusted by thousands of customers over the years.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a waste compactor work?
Dicom waste compactors are used to reduce the volume of rubbish, and they work in a similar way to rubbish trucks but on a smaller scale. Waste materials are placed inside the machine with a liner bag, when you operate the waste compactor a metal ram crushes the refuse into smaller volumes.
What are the benefits of Dicom compactors?
There are many benefits to investing in waste compactors for your business premises. One of the biggest advantages is the amount of space that can be saved by compacting waste down significantly. This also leads to cost savings as fewer waste collections will be required when your refuse is properly reduced.
Are there different types of waste compactors?
Yes, waste compactors come in various different types, including static compactors, portable compactors, vertical compactors and twin compactors.
How to choose the right waste compactor for sale?
With so many types of waste compactors, it can be confusing to know which is right for your operations. Start by analysing the volume of waste being produced, where a waste compactor would fit on your premises, and what kind of materials will you need to compact. Once you understand these aspects of your waste management, you will be better placed to identify the right waste compactor for you.
What is the difference between waste compactors and balers?
Both waste compactors and balers work to reduce the amount of space refuse takes up. Despite the similarities, these are slightly different machines with different capabilities. The main variation is that waste compactors can handle organic waste, while balers often can’t. Waste compactors are usually used for processing unsorted rubbish while balers are for recyclables.
Should I consider waste compactors for sale or for hire?
Waste compactors are available for both sale and rent, and the right option will depend on your unique requirements. If your business generates a large amount of waste on a regular basis, owning a waste compactor could be very worthwhile. However, if you produce small amounts of waste or have seasons where you have more refuse to move than others, renting a waste compactor could be the solution.
