by Rechel

Do you have too much waste at your building site? Does trash pile up and make your construction work slow? Let’s find a simple way to keep your site clean, safe, and happy!

At CLW GROUP, we make smart trucks. We help you move, smash, and throw away waste with big, strong trucks. We deliver fast. We fix your trucks. We teach you how to use them. We want your job to be easy!

Why Is Waste Such a Big Problem at a Construction Site?

  • Building makes lots of waste!
  • You see wood, metal, boxes, and more.
  • All that junk piles up fast.
  • Trucks have to haul waste again and again.
  • Every trip costs money: gas, workers, and landfill fees.
  • Sometimes bins overflow and delay your work.
  • It can be very messy and unsafe!

But wait—there is hope!

What Is a Compactor Truck?

A compactor truck is a special tool for the job!

  • It smashes waste down inside.
  • You can fit more waste in one load.
  • It picks up and moves the trash to the landfill or recycling.
  • It works for wood, concrete, paper, cardboard—almost any C&D waste!

If you don’t know which truck is best, CLW GROUP can help you pick the right one!

What Makes a Compactor Truck Efficient?

  1. Compaction Ratio

  • Smashes waste 3:1 up to 6:1 (That means one small pile instead of three!)
  • You fit much more in the same space.

  1. More Payload

  • Every truck fits more waste, up to 20% extra per haul
  • You save money on gas and trips.

  1. Fast Loading and Compacting

  • Quick to load, smash, and drive off!
  • No wasted time.

  1. Less Fuel

  • Every extra trip you skip saves $50–$150 or more.
  • Good for the earth.

  1. Fewer Breakdowns

  • We teach you compactor truck maintenance
  • If your truck is strong, your work does not stop!

Smart Ways To Run Your Waste Plan

Here is what you can do:

  • Sort your waste first: Wood with wood, metal with metal.
  • Train your team on the right way to load a compactor truck.
  • Fill every load up, but not too full! (Payload optimization)
  • Use a good route. Don’t drive in circles. Use smart maps (route optimization).
  • Keep your waste area clear so trucks can move fast.
