GFL’s Wide Selection of Compactors at Lake Gaston & Kerr Reservoir Region Encompasses:

Self-Contained Compactor

These standalone compactors are designed to accommodate high volume liquid applications, discourage pests and scavengers, reduce fires, and control offensive odors from any fumes created. Self-contained compactors primarily handle wet waste and processed food. They are commonly used by restaurants, offices, schools, hospitals, grocery stores, and large factories.

Vertical Impact Compactor

A vertical impact compactor, or a front-loaded vehicle service compactor, is easily emptied using a front load vehicle. They are often smaller in size, which makes them ideal for businesses operating within confined spaces. These compactors are typically designed for dry goods such as cardboard, paper, plastic, and more.

PreCrusher Compactor

PreCrushers are specialized stationary compactor units used in conjunction with industrial or heavy-duty compactors to break down large amounts of dry and wet waste. Because of their power and strength, PreCrushers are commonly used to break down difficult to compact materials such as crates, barrels, appliances, scrap steel, and more.

Apartment and High Rise Compactors

Apartment and highrise compactors are hand-feed operators, chute systems, or through-the-wall installations that allow for easy disposal of waste on multiple floor levels[cite: 4]. Every compactor is designed to be conveniently loaded by residents and tenants without the need for special training[cite: 4]. These compactors are primarily designed to take dry waste and low waste volumes, usually around 150 cubic yards or less[cite: 4].

Dumpster

Commercial garbage compactors are perfect for businesses that dispose of large amounts of standard solid waste. They offer the convenience of a dumpster but with superior storage space, and because they compact waste into tight, condensed loads, fewer pickups are required.

GFL in the Lake Gaston and Kerr Community

GFL Environmental is dedicated to protecting the scenic beauty, natural habitats, and local water quality of Lake Gaston and the Kerr Reservoir. Through our GFL Full Circle Project (FCP), we partner with local non-profits to champion environmental sustainability, family wellness, and regional conservation.

Sponsoring Conservation and Animal Welfare: Freedom Ranch Animal Sanctuary

Across the Lake Gaston and Kerr region, our local environmental commitment is proudly represented by our six-year partnership with the Freedom Ranch Animal Sanctuary (freedomranchnc.org). Freedom Ranch fills a vital, underserved niche in our rural lake communities by rescuing and providing shelter for large farm animals whose owners are no longer physically or financially able to care for them. To support the heavy logistical and transportation needs of large animal rescue, GFL contributes $5,000 annually through the FCP to fund facility upgrades, including metal roofing, safety fencing, shelter repairs, and rescue trailer rehabilitation.

Our local GFL employees are deeply passionate about this cause, with 10 to 20 volunteers regularly giving hands-on help at sanctuary events and facility improvement days. GFL is also a premier sponsor of their annual fundraising festival on May 3rd, where we provide professional trash containers, volunteer coordinators, and sponsorship fees. This partnership is enhanced by our professional connection: the sanctuary co-owner’s husband works with GFL through McGill Environmental Systems (McGill Compost), which has spent more than 30 years recycling organic waste into rich soil amendments, helping both our public entities and our planet grow greener every day.
