Approximately 48.5 million tons of solid waste is generated in Pakistan annually and is increasing by more than 2 percent per year . Various studies have been conducted on solid waste management in Pakistan and the studies show that only 60% of the waste is collected whereas 40% is left unhandled. However, according to official estimates, 30% to 50% of the solid waste generated in most of the cities is not collected . This gap between waste generation and waste collection highlights the inefficiency in collection system, collection capacities and disposal facilities. Major waste collection sector uses open containers and dump trucks for waste collection. Less collection capacities per trip, large number of trips required, hauling costs, fuel consumption and manpower are some of the factors involved in open top containers and other conventional collection methods resulting in reduced collection efficiencies and increased collection costs. However, use of new technologies for waste collection involves use of stationary compactors and garbage compactor trucks through which waste collection capacity per trip increases manifolds and overall collection cost is reduced. This has an overall positive impact on the percentage of waste collected.
Waste compaction is the process of enfolding and breaking waste to compress it and reduce it in size. Compacting eliminates voids in the waste, makes better use of the available space and compresses the waste so that more of it can be stored with in the same space. As compaction makes waste smaller and extra compact, more space is available in the truck which decrease the cost of hauling the waste away specifically in apartments, industry, business, and manufacturing.
When disposing of our waste, we all wish to eliminate it in a manner that has a minimal impact on the environment while saving money. Compaction can cut back waste volume at a ratio of 3:1 with reduced disposal costs as less time and fuel is required to haul the same amount of waste away. A compacter truck enfolds the waste in a sealed container which discourages growth of vermin and leakage of fluids and also prevents odor from being released. Compaction is effective not only for the elimination of bulk waste but also efficiently reduces the impact on landfill sites. In highly populated cities, land availability for land fill sites is reducing and cities typically transport their waste hundreds of miles away unless new landfill sites are built nearby. Compacted waste takes up less space thus reducing load on landfill sites and prolongs their lifespan. This wa威而鋼

CleanAll Solutions provides services of door to door collection of waste using Garbage Compactor Trucks. The collected waste is simultaneously compacted and eventually transported to the dumping site. Waste compaction allows more waste to be stuffed into the truck which reduces the number of round trips to the dumping site. This results in significant fuel and time saving. Waste is covered and there is no chance of “spillage” of waste during transportation. Waste collected inside the compactor is pushed out of the container through a hydraulically powered Ejection Plate. One driver and one operator can collect and dispose of waste saving manpower.
Compacted waste means less trips to the landfills, reduced fuel consumption, transportation costs, pollution and emissions from those trips. This is an eco-friendlier solution to waste removal. These compactors allow people to pack more and spend less when managing refuse, waste, or recyclable materials.
Compaction of waste discourages scavengers, reduces collection fuel consumption and collection costs, saves labor, reduces insect/rodent problems, reduces fire hazard, prevents windblown trash, controls odor, prevents unauthorized access to the trash, prevents unauthorized disposal, fewer cleanup problems-when trash is sealed in a container, liquid retention-self-contained compactors retain liquids better than any bin, thus eliminating mess associated with liquid refuse.
The ratio of waste compaction depends largely on the compaction ratio of the compactor and the composition of the waste itself. Compaction ratios can be as high as 6:1 for some more consolidated waste streams, although 3:1 is closer to industry standard.
Besides helping reduce collection costs, compactors can also help businesses save on labor by reducing employment costs associated with collection activities as only one driver and one operator can manage the complete task.
If you have an open top container, this may invite bugs, flies and rodents whereas use of a compactor truck greatly limits this. Compactors also help prevent windblown trash from escaping the container thus reduced litter problem, cleaner facilities and comparatively less time required for waste cleanup.
