What does an underground compactor cost?

In comparison to a standard underground container, the Sidcon underground compactor requires a slightly higher level of investment, but under the right circumstances this can be recouped very quickly. That means usually within just a few years. Three standard underground containers, for example, have higher acquisition costs and a lower capacity than a single underground compactor. The cost savings are likewise higher because of the less frequent collections.

Cheaper than 3 regular underground containers

It’s difficult to say exactly what an underground compactor costs. When making a comparison, the full costs have to be taken into account. That means the concrete well, the excavation work and the power connection too. Detailed costings with all variables are available from Sidcon. The accompanying overview illustrates clearly that 1 underground compactor is more cost-efficient than 3 standard containers. In addition to the cost benefits, more capacity and less space are required.

The rule of 3

The rule of 3

The total costs of ownership (TCO) of a container are determined for a large part by the waste collection costs. The use of an underground compactor drastically reduces the number of waste collections by a factor of 4 to 10. A reduction of four collections a week, for example, will save on 2,000 journeys over a period of ten years. The investment in an underground compactor is therefore recouped with just a few years. A simple way of calculating whether an underground compactor is financially beneficial can be done using the following rule: for a set of 3 containers against 3 waste collections per week, the Sidcon compactor is better on almost every front.

The ideal location

''The Sidcon compactor, compared to a conventional container, worked out cheaper in the long run, on the basis of 2 or 3 compactors being acquired.''
