The Cat 318 was in the yard this morning so I jumped on it to compact the recycle mat'l in the scrap metal bin. Works well for that job!!

    Nice, I've packed many a metal dumpsters from demo jobs. Packing 50's get's interesting but you can put a lot of metal in them.

    I know the dumpster companies don't like it when you splay the sides all out smashing crap in there, then weld tabs inside and use a come a long to pull it back in shape. lol Greyson

    True but if you know what you are doing it won't damage the container and you can get a nice load.
