Repairing All Types of Trash Compactors 

Most people don’t realize the high level of convenience of their trash compactor until it stops working. Our team can help your trash compactor get back to its everyday performance. We repair multiple types of trash compactors, including: 

Freestanding Compactors

A freestanding trash compactor often has a finished top for additional counter space. These compactors are typically produced with multiple features like built-in cutting boards. 

Under-the-Counter Compactors

This type of trash compactor is installed between cabinets without a finished top. A trim kit helps an under-the-counter trash compactor to help blend in with the cabinets.

Convertible Compactors

A convertible trash compactor is stylish and can easily be installed under your counter or as a freestanding unit.
