Marathon's Cart/Container Dumpers can extend the benefits of compaction to all areas of your operation while keeping equipment investments to a minimum.

Marathon's standard Cart/Container Dumpers are designed to handle 2 and 4 cubic yard "trainable" steel containers or 1 cubic yard plastic tilt carts. Using a towing vehicle to "train" the carts from various locations throughout a facility to the dumper locations reduces labor to a fraction of that required to perform the same job manually.

Offensive trash odor in a refuse storage or pickup area is a reflection on your business or facility! In addition to the untidy image projected to the community, the odor creates an unpleasant work environment and can cause complaints from neighboring businesses and residents. Such complaints may result in violations and fines from the local health department. Furthermore, the odor can attract rats, mice, bees, flies, wasps, stray cats and dogs.

You can take steps to control your trash odor problem. You may be able to minimize odors through more frequent pickups in warm weather; or, if you are presently using open containers, closed containers should be considered. Also, you should make sure the storage area is adequately ventilated. If you have changed operational procedures and the odor persists, it's time to consider Marathon's Ozone Odor Control System.

This ozone generating unit electronically eliminates all odors from the compactor and disposal areas for a more pleasant environment. The Ozone Odor Control System significantly reduces customer/consumer objections, retards bacteria growth, eliminates compacted-garbage odor, prevents fermentation, and destroys pest attracting odors. This optional unit can be directly installed on Marathon Vert-I-Pack compactors. Other Marathon waste compactors require a remote unit with a separate 100 volt power source.

Portable and economical self-contained compactor / container, with remote power pack, designed for compacting and containing wet or dry waste and simplifying waste dumping. 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. Container is tapered to achieve superior compaction ratios and aid waste ejection which eliminates excessive wear and tear on collection trucks. Liquid-tight construction helps insure sanitary environment. Drain allows water to be removed lowering disposal costs.

Marathon's new Foam Baler is a horizontal baler specially designed to handle the unique characteristics of polyfoam products. Foam fabricators experience labor savings by generating bales twice the density of a typical vertical baler. In addition, the Foam Baler can be conveyor or cart fed for further automation and cost savings.

• The powerful compaction process means less air and bales of foam that weigh more than 1300 pounds!
• The simple "spring back control chamber" provides space for the foam to expand to prevent obstruction of the feed chamber while loading.
• Bales are tied in the short direction which also aids in bale density and integrity.

Marathon’s Eco-Safe Digester™

The new Eco-Safe Digester™ from Marathon is an innovation breakthrough in confronting the growing problem of organic waste processing and disposal. The Eco-Safe Digester™ is an environmentally friendly method for converting food waste into liquid and was designed in response to some staggering statistics:

• According to a 2008 United Nations study, it's estimated that about 30 percent of the food produced annually in the United States - about 50 billion - is thrown into the garbage.
• Food retailers lose more than of 5.5 billion pounds of food per year - about 2 percent of the edible food supply - with dairy, fruit, and vegetable spoilage accounting for half of those losses, according to a USDA report.
• The Environmental Protection Agency has reported that the United States spends an estimated $1 billion annually on disposing of food waste.
• Less than 800,000 tons of the 31.79 million tons of food waste generated annually in the United States is diverted from landfills.

Designed to safely convert up to 1,200 pounds of food waste per day into a liquid that can be returned to the ecosystem.

The RamJet RJ-450 is excellent for distribution centers, warehouses, and general industrial use. The extra large 60" x 67 1/2" clear top opening accepts those large, bulky items with ease. Ruggedly built to meet the challenge, this unit packs a powerful 56,500 pounds of crushing force. And, the RJ-450 is built for performance and reliability as only Marathon, the solid waste industry's specialist in on-site compaction systems, can provide.

Compactors can be fitted with custom hoppers, tread plates, hand & toe rails, security chutes, cart dumpers and other optional equipment.
