Anyone know how these restaurant grade garbage works?

Just curious. Anyone know the mechanics how these bins work? I see the staff put garbage in, but it doesn't have room for those huge front load fork lift style trucks to pickup.

There's also this 3' motor operated canister. Is it like a commercial grade trash compactor? Compost?

It goes into the ground quite a bit, weight of the trash + gravity when you toss it in compacts it. They pick it up in a truck with a crane on it, and then put the bag back into the bin.

They contain large sacks that are picked with a picker truck, not a traditional compacting garbage truck. Same system as the companies that deliver soil and other materials to your house.

I'm not sure. Probably for the grease bin.

That's pretty neat. Much less visually obtrusive than a big dumpster. Is there only one company in Calgary servicing this system? Could mean slightly higher collection costs I would imagine, but hopefully not drastically so.

Tomco!

Solar/power compactors. Already told you this in group chat...

Small ones, big ones, depends on the type of waste.

I had one a few years ago and it was hard finding a company that could pick up garbage regularly. Switched back to normal dumpsters
