Waste Cost Solutions' Facilities Team Rescues A Bismarck, North Dakota Retailer With An Overflowing Compactor

Short holiday weeks can be hectic on big box stores, especially when they occur around the extremely busy Thanksgiving Day/Black Friday holiday. During this recent time period, a compactor door at a retail store in Bismarck, North Dakota was accidently left open, resulting in an overwhelming amount of debris surrounding the compactor. Not only would the normal trash hauler not pick up the overflowing debris, they would not empty the compactor either.

The Waste Cost Solutions Facilities Team was contacted by the Bismarck store to assist with the situation and we were able to have the debris surrounding the compactor cleaned up and all of the waste removed on Sunday November 28^th, commented Michael Mintz, CEO, Waste Cost Solutions. “The cleanup occurred within a 36-hour time frame from the time we were first contacted,” Mintz added. 

To avoid issues like this occurring during busy holiday periods, Mintz suggests that retailers have a backup dumpster on hand if their outdoor space can accommodate one. The post Black Friday days leading up to Christmas Eve are extremely busy for most retailers, who achieve their highest volume of the year during this time. An additional dumpster not only provides added security if there is an issue with a compactor, but it’s also a solution for the additional volume of waste the store is producing, noted Mintz.

“Many waste service companies are on vacation for the holidays. There is also less staff available for services during this time.  Numerous suppliers, equipment repair companies and dumps are also closed. Others may charge double for a service call. It’s best to have a contingency plan and a second dumpster is an excellent option,” commented Mintz.
