United States Navy
Challenge
Cost of disposing of hazardous waste in tri-wall boxes produced by their paint shop doing repair to aircraft.
Solution
A RotoPacHazPac with its 6 to 1 compaction was installed.
Result
The high compaction reduced the number of tri-wall boxes needed by a factor of 6 and significantly hauling costs producing a savings of $29,000 per year.
United States Army
Challenge
An army installation was built inside a mountain providing very high security. To remove trash from the secure area the maintenance personnel had to take the trash through a security checkpoint and again when they returned the dumpster to the secure area. The process of removing several cubic yards of trash took over 2 hours.
Solution
The RotoPac commercial trash compactor was placed.
Result
With the RotoPac, they were able to reduce these trips by 80%. The RotoPac’s ease of use significantly reduced the personnel effort required to remove waste from the fort.

BASF
Challenge
Waste material had to be compacted into the company’s government-mandated special hazardous waste bags which were significantly different in design than the polyethylene bags the RotoPac typically uses.
Solution
A custom industrial waste compactor, a RotoPac HazPac was designed and placed.
Result
BASF’s unique requirements were accommodated.
