Marathon Pak’ntainer® Self-Contained Compactor/Container


The Pak’ntainer® is a portable and economical self-contained compactor/container with a remote power pack. It’s designed for compacting and containing wet or dry waste and simplifying waste dumping.

For those generating as little as 20 cubic yards of refuse a week, the Marathon® Pak’ntainer helps maintain a sanitary environment while saving money. Place the Pak’ntainer wherever needed, whenever needed — temporarily or permanently — no anchoring, no concrete pad, no special surfaces are required. It can be used alone or in combination with other units.

The container is tapered to achieve superior compaction ratios and aid waste ejection, which eliminates excessive wear and tear on collection trucks. Watertight construction helps ensure a sanitary environment. The drain enables water to be removed, lowering disposal costs.
