24-Hour Emergency Compactor and Chute Repair
When the compactor stops or a chute door won't close, call 613-539-8683. WasteMind offers 24-hour service for compactors, chutes and garbage rooms.
A compactor never breaks down at a good time. When it stops, the building's garbage has nowhere to go. Our 24-hour service covers compactors, chutes and garbage rooms, and we will always provide a solution, whether that is a repair tonight or a retrofit planned for later.
Our technicians repair compactors that other companies built as well as our own, and they explain what they find before they perform any work.
Call us right away if
- The compactor has stopped, jammed or will not run
- The compactor is leaking oil, or is slow or loud
- A chute door will not close or latch on its own
- Chute door hardware is broken: handles, latches, closers or hand-guard flaps
Until the technician arrives
- Keep staff and residents away from the compactor. Compactors are locked out before anyone works on them.
- Do not reach into the compactor or the chute to clear a jam. Chutes are confined spaces, so this is work for trained technicians.
- Call 613-539-8683 with the building address and what you are seeing.
Fewer emergencies with a maintenance plan
Regular maintenance prevents many breakdowns. A preventative maintenance plan checks the grease, hydraulic oil and belts on your compactor one, two or four times a year. Our six warning signs show what your staff can watch for between visits.
Frequently asked questions
Is your emergency service really available 24 hours?
Yes. WasteMind offers 24-hour service for compactors, chutes and garbage rooms. Call 613-539-8683.
Do you repair compactors that WasteMind did not build?
Yes. Our technicians repair and maintain existing compactors in multi-residential buildings across Ontario, whoever made them.
Which areas do you cover for emergency repairs?

How can we avoid emergency calls?
Put the building on a preventative maintenance plan. Annual, semi-annual or quarterly visits catch worn parts and low oil before they stop the compactor.
