A commercial trash compactor is the fastest way to shrink a hauling bill. Instead of paying to haul air in half-empty containers, a compactor crushes waste into a fraction of its volume, so you pay for fewer pickups and keep a cleaner site.

The catch is that "compactor" covers a family of very different machines. A grocery store with wet food waste needs a leak-tight self-contained unit. A distribution center moving mountains of dry cardboard and packaging needs a stationary compactor matched to a receiver container. An apartment building needs a compact vertical unit that fits a trash room. Pick wrong and you buy problems; pick right and the machine pays for itself.

That is where we come in. Norton Equipment has been sizing, selling, installing, and servicing waste equipment in the Mid-South since 1997. We are not tied to one manufacturer and we do not lock you into a hauling contract. We spec the machine that fits your waste stream, your dock, and your budget, then we stand behind it with our own service techs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a commercial trash compactor cost?
New commercial compactors typically run from around $15,000 for smaller vertical and stationary units to $40,000+ for large self-contained, pre-crusher, and auger machines, plus installation. Reconditioned units bring the entry cost down. The honest answer depends on your waste type and volume. Call (662) 838-7900 and we will spec it in one conversation.
Do you service compactors you didn’t sell?
Yes. We service and repair every major make and model (Marathon, Cram-A-Lot, PTR, BACE, and more) whether or not it came from us. All makes, all models.
How fast can you get to a service call?
Our goal is to respond to service requests within 24 hours across the North Mississippi and Memphis area. If a machine is down, tell us when you call (662) 838-7900 and we will prioritize it.
What size compactor do I need?
Sizing depends on waste type (wet or dry), weekly volume, available space, and your hauler’s container requirements. We do free on-site evaluations across our 100-mile service area to spec it right the first time.
