Waste Compaction (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Waste compaction is the process of compacting waste. Compaction means to compress, condense or consolidate. It is often used to reduce the size of waste material. Garbage compactors and waste collection vehicles compress waste so that more of it can be stored in the same space. Waste is compacted again, more thoroughly, at the landfill to conserve valuable airspace and to extend the landfills life span.
