If you want to reduce trash volume to save space and trips to the dumpster, check out Kaivac’s new trash-compacting system

by Brianna Crandall — October 3, 2018 — Kaivac, developer of the No-Touch Cleaning and OmniFlex Crossover Cleaning systems, recently introduced its new trash-compacting system that vacuums out the air that collects in waste container liners, reportedly reducing trash volume by about one-half.

The system includes a durable trash can; strap attachment to one of Kaivac’s OmiFlex cleaning systems; and a vacuum wand.

Kaivac says the system is quick and easy to use. Once the user has collected trash, they simply place the specially designed vacuum wand in the liner to remove most of the air. The liner constricts and does not “rebound” to its original size, says the company.

This frees up space, so the user can collect more trash and add additional vacuumed bags to the large bag in the trash can provided, saving time by reducing the number of trips to the dumpster. Once the vacuumed bags reach the top of the waste container provided, the user vacuums the air out of the whole large bag, removes the bag and takes it to the dumpster.
