CRUSHR
Crushr franchises provide mobile on-site trash compaction services using a proprietary truck-mounted pulverizer unit that compacts waste directly in commercial dumpsters, reducing the volume of trash and minimizing landfill trips and associated costs. The business model grants franchisees exclusive rights to operate in protected territories, requiring the purchase and use of Installed Vehicles for servicing clients. Target markets include commercial businesses, municipalities, property owners/operators, and contractors in construction, remodeling, or demolition that generate significant waste volumes.
