Established in 1983, Metropolitan Compactor is a family-owned and operated business with over 35 years of experience in the manufacturing, design, installation, repair and maintenance of refuse handling systems for multi-story residential buildings.

Our company was built from the ground up, with our founder gaining first-hand experience in refuse system design and manufacturing as he worked at the forefront of the movement to replace incinerators with compactors in the 1970's. Metropolitan began as a manufacturer of high-quality, practical and durable Metro-Pak refuse management systems. As compactors became more prevalent and recycling more commonplace, we extended our services to include service, parts and maintenance of all brands of chute and compactor systems. Originally situated in Middlesex, NJ, our business is currently located in Cranford, NJ, ideally positioned to serve residential buildings throughout the NJ and NY Metropolitan area. Metropolitan Compactor is the preferred choice of local multi-level residential building owners, managers, superintendents and architects.
