RJ-88SC Self Contained Compactor
Marathon's RJ-88SC Self-Contained Compactor/ Containers are ideal for waste with high liquid content and for applications where space is limited. Each RJ-88 series compactors store liquid and controls insect and odor problems.
RJ-250SC Features:
The RJ-250SC uses a Remote Power Pack that remains on-site while the self-contained compactor container is taken to the landfill.

Also See the RJ-88 HT. The RJ-88 HT features a Hydraulic Tailgate and is well suited for security chute-fed and dock-fed applications where maneuvering space for the collection vehicle is limited.
The RJ-88SC is ideal for...
- Shopping Centers
- Supermarkets
- Restaurants
- Hotels
- Inflight Kitchens
- Hospitals and institutions
Components are selected for longevity and minimum maintenance, with special attention given to the selection of highly sensitive components. Stress engineering provides the optimum degree of structural integrity. Only the best materials are used. The highest standards of quality are observe in the manufacturing process. That's why you'll find Marathon Compactors "packing trash" long after other makes have failed!
- The RJ-88 SC's smaller size makes it excellent for restaurant and fast food applications. They normally fit easily in waste corrals for an attractive and convenient installation at minimum installation cost.
- With standard double end pick-up, the unit can be loaded for hauling from either end. This is especially useful if installed perpendicular to a dock (Packer End pick-up option does not include front ground rollers).
- The RJ-88 SC uses a Remote Power Pack that remains on-site while the self-contained compactor container is taken to the landfill.
- Factory testing to assure leakproof construction.
- The RJ-88 Series Self-Contains can be used with a hopper to double or triple your loading capacity!
- They are equally easy to load from ground or dock level and can be continuously fed while the unit is cycling!
- Total odor and pest control via Marathon's Ozone Odor Control option
- Easy and fast installation! Installation costs are cut by half over conventional compaction systems.
- Fire hose connection provided on each unit.
RJ-88C Compactors can be customized with a variety of loading arrangements to suit your specific needs.
Marathon's RJ-88SC Self Contained Compactor is UL Listed!
Features & Benefits of Marathon's Self-Contained Wet Waste Compaction Equipment:
- Marathon's CYCON Life-Xtender® Cyclic Control System: eliminates troublesome limit and pressure cycle control switches. It also reduces trash removal cost by producing superior payloads and dramatically improving cold weather performance.
- Marathon's compactors meet all of ANSI and OSHA standards.
- Each unit is UL Listed to assure quality and maintains the highest industry standards (does not apply to GreenBuilt).
- Standard double end pick-up (except HT models) which allows the unit to be loaded for hauling from either end. This is especially useful if the self-contained unit is perpendicular to a dock.
- Through-the-wall feed chutes offer convenience to employees that reduces labor cost and improves security.
The Qwik Clean Tank® funnels any liquid seepage during compaction into an enclosed area underneath the charge box floor. The liquid is automatically discharged at the disposal site, in effect flushing the container and the area behind the ram.
Rear door retains wet waste effectively with its patented "Double-Hinge" and custom designed "P" Seal.
The innovative "Bubble Gate" adds a cubic yard to the container capacity. Its curved shape also produces superior compaction ratios.

Optional Features:
TrashMinder®
The optional TrashMinder® is the most advanced method for reporting and measuring container fullness as well as for managing user access and billing. Get More Details.
Qwik Clean Door®
The innovative Qwik Clean Door provides access to the area behind the ram of self-contained compactors. It allows for quick, easy cleaning and other routine maintenance without having to unbolt panels or break welds. The Qwik Clean Door features our Auto-Relatch to hold the door closed while the door is being ratcheted and our patented “P” Seal for a tight, leak proof seal.
The StreamLine® Option
allows excess liquid to be drained from the container reducing net payload weight and significantly reducing hauling costs! Liquid is routed to four interconnected 4" drain outlets located at each corner of the StreamLine unit. Connection can be made to a hose, piping, or pump.
