Waste Management for Logistics & Warehousing
This page presents effective strategies to cut waste, improve storage efficiency, and lower operating costs in the logistics and warehousing sector.
Logistics trash management
In logistics operations, large amounts of trash — especially cardboard and plastic — are generated daily during receiving, unpacking, and repacking.
Without proper systems in place, this trash can quickly cause a bottleneck.
Mil-tek’s high-performance balers and compactors help you manage trash right at the source, freeing up valuable space and boosting efficiency.

The true cost of trash in logistics
In logistics facilities, cardboard, plastic, and other packaging trash can accumulate quickly — clogging up busy work areas and slowing operations.
Instead of focusing on key responsibilities, staff spend hours each day moving waste from one end of the site to the other.
📌 When trash isn’t managed efficiently, it causes delays, drives up costs, consumes valuable space — and quietly erodes annual revenue.
Efficient trash management in the logistics industry
Mil-tek solutions are built to be installed exactly where trash is produced — at packing stations, inbound docks, or sorting areas. This allows your team to dispose of trash instantly, keeping operations flowing without unnecessary interruptions.
With the right-size balers and compactors positioned at the source, logistics operations can:
- Reduce trash volume by up to 90%
- Cut down on haul-away trips
- Free up valuable floor space in high-traffic aisles
- Minimize manual handling and save labor hours
- Turn recyclables into a profitable resource

Optimize logistics by compacting polystyrene trash for maximum space efficiency
If your operations handle significant volumes of polystyrene, you may be facing storage constraints, messy workspaces, and elevated transportation expenses.
Mil-tek’s polystyrene compactor grinds and compresses polystyrene at a 40:1 ratio, transforming bulky material into dense, recyclable blocks. This process reduces disposal costs and streamlines trash handling, making your logistics more efficient.
