Important: Costs, utility rates, permits, inspections, environmental duties, health requirements, safety rules and equipment standards vary by country, province or state, municipality, building use, equipment type and project scope. Qualified local professionals and the authority having jurisdiction must determine what applies. Compactors, balers and waste-handling equipment contain crushing, shearing and hazardous-energy risks. Only trained and authorized personnel may operate, clear, service or enter equipment under applicable procedures. Never bypass guards or interlocks.
