CARDBOARD COMPACTORS - SOME BASIC CONSIDERATIONS
When any business has constant deliveries, there is usually a
direct correlation with cardboard waste. Managing cardboard waste and hiring
waste management service companies to come out and remove the waste from
dumpsters of varying kinds can be very time consuming and difficult, especially
when there is sudden cardboard fluctuations that arise on an ongoing basis.
If you’re not careful, a business can end
up hemorrhaging money in terms of waste management simply because dealing with
the cardboard issue can take up a lot of time and space.
However, when it is compacted it is much
easier to handle and can help tremendously with saving space and time.
For those that are not familiar with
Cardboard compactors, consider the following benefits:
·
Cardboard Volume Reduction
– Immediately you will notice that that the volume
reduction capabilities are enormous. Loose cardboard can easily be reduced by a
factor of 5 to 1 on up to 10 to 1 or even higher so the space savings is
considerable. By compacting cardboard it is much more manageable, easier to
transport and much more efficient for everyone.
·
Recycling
– Typically if you are wanting to receive revenues for your cardboard
you will need to bale it into very dense bales that will be much easier and much
more efficient to haul to the recycling facility. And if you have a large volume
of cardboard that is baled and can be picked up by the recycling in large
quantities (meaning you have plenty of storage for the baled cardboard) you will
be in an even better position to negotiate. In addition to being convenient
cardboard compactors can help business save and create lots of money.
·
Efficiency – The alternative to a cardboard compactor is having employees
constantly cut up and flatten boxes manually. However the labor hours required
for doing this can be easily offset when a cardboard compactor is doing the same
job that it would take many employees to do (and even then the same level of
volume reduction could never be achieved as it could be with a cardboard
compactor). If cardboard accumulates
quickly at your business it is a good idea to look into a compactor for both
convenience and the cost savings.
Cardboard compactors come in a variety of types and sizes,
and typically they have numerous options and accessories for addressing almost
any need or circumstance. Of course a space will need to be designated for the
cardboard compactor so it is a good idea to spend some time evaluating the best
(or most strategical) location for operation which will be based on many factors
such as your current waste flow.
Cardboard compactors can be purchased, leased or rented
depending upon your preference, but of course the cost of leasing or renting is
going to be higher overall than the cost of a straight purchase. Oftentimes the
quickest and easiest path for customers is a rental, assuming they have good
credit because with a rental or lease the credit requirements have become
increasingly stringent. Rentals can be great for Tenant Landlord scenarios where
it is easy for both the landlord and
tenant to understand how much each tenant should be charged on a monthly or
yearly basis (versus the debates or struggles over Capital expenditures.)
