An underground compactor typically has a service life of 10 to 15 years. When components wear out or become technically outdated, replacing the entire compactor is not always necessary. Through refurbishment, the existing installation can be rebuilt and given an additional 10 years of service life.
How does compactor refurbishment work?
Sidcon manages the entire process, from removing and transporting the compactor to refurbishment and reinstallation. At our workshop in Nijmegen, we inspect the installation and determine which technical components need to be replaced.
If required, we can provide a temporary replacement container. This ensures that waste collection continues throughout the refurbishment process while minimising inconvenience for residents and users.
During refurbishment, the compactor can also be adapted for a different waste stream. For example, a compactor used for plastic packaging, metal packaging and drink cartons can be converted for residual waste, allowing it to remain aligned with the municipality’s current collection strategy.
