Right Sizing for Multi-Tenant Apartment Buildings

Over the past couple years there was been an surge in new construction of multi-tenant apartment buildings. This is in response to tight housing supply across the country. These are being built in downtowns and suburbs. An important aspect to consider is the best set up for dealing with tenant waste.

Gone are the days of an unsightly dumpster in the parking lot, where tenants take out their trash. This is not a good solution for the tenant and makes for a bad first impression. With so many new apartments available, one must take these things into account to remain competitive.

We have solutions for

• Apartment Compactor with containers - inside

• Vertical Residential Compactors - outside

• Larger Apartment Complex Compactor - outside

• Combination solutions - inside and outside

Also, downtowns normally don't have the space or room for a dumpster. In this case, a compactor is ideal. This keeps things looking neat and clean. Plus regularly scheduled collection is a breeze. These make for great apartment complex trash management solutions, everything is self contained and a chute door can be used. We have trash compactor solutions for all sizes of apartment complexes, multi-tenant buildings and senior living care facilities.

In addition, our residential compactors have state of the art safety features. This couldn't be more important.

We're leading the way on safety.

We can also provide custom build outs for unique spaces. We've seen it all, so we can come up with a solution for your space that is safe and efficient. And with PTR service centers across the country, we're just a phone call away for 24/7 support.

One Size Does Not Fit All

PTR has solutions for all types of distribution centers

In over 50 years in business, we've worked with all types of distribution centers. Some just require a vertical baler, while others require custom solutions. One size does not fit all. Based on our vast experience, we can offer solutions for all sizes of distribution centers. Today we'll focus on smaller centers.

Small distribution centers

Sometimes all that is needed is a solid vertical baler or compactor. Space is often a factor. A compactor outside solves that problem! In terms of compactors we have low profile models designed to minimize the over footprint. These also are well suited for smaller centers ... but still get the job done! We have both stationary compactors and self-contained.

We have a wide range of vertical balers. For example our model 324HD is designed for use in areas with tight space requirements. And one of our newer models - the 420HD provides a heavier bale while fitting in a smaller space.

We also offer custom solutions for tight spaces. We can do a site survey and develop a solution that is best suited for your needs - and for maximum efficiency.

Our cart dumpers are also a popular addition when providing waste solutions for smaller distribution centers. It speeds up transferring waste and reduces potential for back strain or injuries of that nature.

Challenging spaces abound with smaller footprints. We have learned to build custom solutions based on a buildings specific needs. We've seen it all over the years, so our experience is unmatched.
