The standard method of in-place waste compaction is the use of landfill compactors. These are specialized earthmovers resembling typical soil compactors that have been modified to operate in the harsher environment of the landfill. They are also modified to achieve the highest possible in-place compaction by mobile equipment operating on heterogeneous material such as municipal solid waste.
