What Is a Receiver Box?
A receiver box is the detachable container that pairs with a stationary compactor. While the compactor stays in place to compress waste, the receiver box is hauled away by your waste provider only when full, then replaced with an empty one. This setup offers maximum storage capacity and flexibility.
Receiver boxes are available in a wide range of sizes — typically 10 to 40+ cubic yards — allowing businesses to match capacity to their waste output.
They are ideal for storing:
- Cardboard and corrugated materials
- Packaging and plastics
- Dry commercial waste
- Production scrap
- Mixed non-food waste
- Bulky materials (when paired with a pre-crusher)
If your operation needs large-scale waste storage, receiver boxes are the perfect solution.
Benefits of Receiver Boxes
-
1
High-Capacity Waste Storage
Receiver boxes give your facility the ability to store large amounts of compacted waste, reducing the frequency of hauls and lowering monthly disposal costs. -
2
Seamless Hauler Pickup Process
Because only the receiver box is removed during pickup, your compactor remains in place — minimizing disruption to your workflow and protecting your equipment. -
3
Compatible With Multiple Waste Streams
Receiver boxes support a wide variety of dry waste types, making them ideal for retail, industrial operations, warehouses, and facilities with heavy cardboard output. -
4
Scalable to Any Operation
With sizes ranging from compact units to high-capacity containers, receiver boxes can be tailored to small businesses, large industrial facilities, and multi-site operations.
