Compactor Servicing
Our Compactors are designed and built to last, but over time your Compactor will sustain some heavy usage during its lifecycle. In order to ensure your Waste Compactor is operating correctly and continues to do so throughout its lifecycle, scheduled preventative servicing is absolutely crucial. Failure to do so will increase the chances of a potential breakdown occurring which may result in a costly repair bill that could have been avoided.
