The BlokPak 3000, now running at the site, works much like a precrusher. Municipal solid waste is pushed from the collection floor into a charge chamber and compacted into a compaction chamber against a vertical gate. The machine continues to cycle building a dense log of refuse in the compaction chamber. When the designated log size is complete, the gate is raised and compaction ram pushes the log of trash into the transfer trailer.

Mark-Costello's distributor, Solid Waste Systems out of Spokane, Washington, sold and installed the BlokPak 3000. The unit is more than 53 ft. long and features a 100" L x 80" W x 82" D charge chamber. It has a 100 hp motor and computerized control panel that allows for manual and automatic operation.
