Marathon's Pak'ntainer® (MPT): Available in 3, 4, 5, and 6 Cubic Yard Front Load and 6 Cubic Yard Rear Load Models.

Marathon's 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. The Pak'ntainer helps maintain a sanitary environment, while saving money, for those generating as little as 20 cubic yards of refuse a week.

Place Pak'ntainer wherever needed, whenever needed... temporarily or permanently... no anchoring, no concrete pad, no special surfaces required. Can be used alone or to "fill the gap" in combination with other units. The container is tapered to achieve superior compaction ratios and aid waste ejection eliminating excessive wear and tear on collection trucks. Liquid-tight construction helps insure sanitary environment. Drain allows water to be removed lowering disposal costs.
