Why Have A Site Assessment?

Don't Choose a Compactor Based on Volume Alone

Wastech specialist conducting a free site assessment at a commercial facility to evaluate waste management requirements

The right compactor isn't simply the largest machine your site can accommodate.

Waste stream, material composition, daily volumes, available space, loading requirements and collection arrangements all affect which configuration will perform effectively.

A Wastech site assessment looks at the complete waste handling requirement before equipment is recommended.

We'll Assess

AREA WHAT WE LOOK AT
Waste stream What you're generating and how the material behaves under compaction.
Waste volume Daily and weekly volumes, including variations in generation.
Collection frequency How often your bins or containers are currently being serviced.
Site layout Available footprint, access, clearance and loading requirements.
Collection requirements Container configuration and compatibility with your waste carrier.
Operational considerations Including loading, access and manual handling requirements.
Potential efficiencies Where compaction may reduce storage requirements or collection frequency.

Not Sure If Your Site Generates Enough Waste?

That's exactly what the assessment is designed to help determine. Many businesses that enquire are unsure whether their volumes justify a compactor — our team will review your current setup and give you an honest answer, whether that's a compactor recommendation or an alternative solution that better suits your site.

Why Wastech?

Our approach starts with the requirements of the site — not simply selecting a machine from a catalogue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the site assessment really free?

Yes. Wastech provides a free initial site assessment to understand your waste management requirements and determine whether a compaction solution is appropriate.
Do I need to know my exact waste volume?

No. An estimate of your current waste volumes and collection frequency is helpful, but you don't need exact figures before contacting Wastech. The assessment is designed to help establish your requirements.
Do I need to know which compactor I need?

No. That's part of the assessment. The appropriate configuration depends on your waste stream, volume, site layout, collection method and other operational requirements.
Can Wastech assess my existing waste setup?

Yes. If you're currently using bins, skips or an existing compactor, information about your current arrangement can help identify potential improvements.
Will I receive a quote?

Where a Wastech solution is appropriate, the assessment can provide the information required to develop a suitable equipment recommendation and quotation. The first step is understanding what your site actually needs.
We're a small operation — is the assessment still worth doing?

Yes. Many smaller operations are surprised to find that a compactor makes a meaningful difference to their waste management costs and site efficiency. The assessment is designed to give you an honest answer — if a compactor isn't the right fit for your volumes, we'll tell you that too.
