Serving the Intermountain West for more than 40 years. We spec, build, and service compaction equipment for your specific application, and we sell equipment nationwide.
We Specialize In Rebuilt
Equipment
Manufacturing plants generate large amounts of packaging, production scrap, dry waste, and recyclable material that can overwhelm standard dumpsters. A stationary compactor can reduce the volume of general waste, while a vertical or horizontal baler can consolidate cardboard, plastic, film, and other recyclables for storage or sale.
Retailers and grocery stores can quickly lose valuable backroom and loading-dock space to loose cardboard, packaging, and general waste. A recycling baler can turn bulky cardboard into stackable bales that may be sold, while the right compactor reduces dumpster overflow and the number of scheduled pickups.
Restaurants, cafeterias, hotels, and commercial kitchens need equipment that can safely contain food waste, liquids, and other wet materials. Self-contained compactors keep the compactor and collection container together in a sealed system, helping improve sanitation, control leakage, reduce odors, and maintain a cleaner waste area.
Schools, correctional facilities, municipal buildings, healthcare properties, and other public institutions need durable equipment that can withstand frequent use. We provide heavy-duty compactors, balers, chutes, and related equipment selected to support sanitation requirements, operational safety, regulatory compliance, and long-term budget planning.
Warehouses and distribution centers handle a steady stream of cardboard, stretch wrap, packaging, damaged materials, and general refuse. Compactors reduce hauling frequency, while recycling balers help improve diversion rates, recover floor space, and create a measurable return from materials that might otherwise be thrown away.
We do more than sell machines from a catalog. Our team has spent more than four decades evaluating waste streams, building equipment configurations, and matching compactors and balers to the specific needs of commercial and industrial facilities.
Your equipment is supported by people who understand how it should be configured, installed, and maintained. Our factory-trained technicians and certified welders provide professional installation, repair, fabrication, relocation, upgrades, and planned maintenance without relying solely on unfamiliar third-party contractors.
Equipment downtime can interrupt production, create sanitation problems, and leave waste accumulating at your facility. We provide service seven days a week, including after-hours emergency response, for customers throughout Utah, the Intermountain West, and surrounding areas.
Used equipment should not be a gamble. We rebuild machines to near-new condition by addressing worn components, structural needs, appearance, installation requirements, and major operating systems, then include a six-month warranty on qualifying rebuilt equipment.
A commercial trash compactor compresses waste into a smaller, denser volume so a business can fit more material into each collection container. This can reduce hauling frequency and disposal costs while preventing overflowing dumpsters and creating a cleaner, more organized waste area.
The cost depends on the compactor type, capacity, condition, installation requirements, electrical needs, accessories, and site configuration. Action Compaction’s used inventory commonly includes equipment priced from approximately $5,000 to $12,000, while new systems are priced according to their specifications and installation needs.

Yes. Action Compaction sells trash compactors, recycling balers, and related waste equipment nationwide. Installation, mobile repairs, emergency response, and ongoing field service are primarily available throughout Utah, the Intermountain West, and surrounding states, while equipment-only sales can be arranged for customers across the country.
A stationary compactor remains secured at the facility while waste is compacted into a separate receiver container, making it a strong choice for dry waste such as cardboard and packaging. A self-contained compactor combines the compaction unit and container into one sealed system, making it better suited for food waste, liquids, and other wet materials.
Yes. We sell used compactors, balers, cart tippers, containers, and related equipment that have been professionally inspected and rebuilt rather than simply cleaned for resale. Our rebuilding process may include component replacement, structural repairs, blasting, in-house painting, and application-specific modifications, with qualifying rebuilt equipment covered by a six-month warranty.
