Waste
Waste Compactor Savings Calculator
Estimate hauling savings from reduced waste pickup frequency after compaction.
A compaction ratio of 4 means the same waste volume is reduced to about one-quarter of its original volume.
Optional. Include lease, rental or equivalent monthly ownership cost if you want net savings.

Estimated annual hauling savings after deducting the entered monthly compactor cost.

Method:
Estimated Pickups After Compaction =
Current Pickups / Compaction Ratio
Pickups Avoided =
Current Pickups – Estimated New Pickups
Monthly Hauling Savings =
Pickups Avoided x Cost per Pickup
Annual Hauling Savings =
Monthly Hauling Savings x 12
Net Annual Savings =
Annual Hauling Savings – Annual Compactor Cost
This is a screening estimate for volume-limited waste collection.
Compaction reduces waste volume and may reduce pickup frequency, but it does not reduce the actual mass of waste generated.
Disposal charges based on waste mass or tipping weight are therefore not assumed to decrease.
Actual pickup schedules may need to use whole loads or whole pickups, so operational savings may differ from the theoretical result.
