QuestionAre these any good to compact plastic recycling? Thinking of milk jugs etc. Almost all of our trash is packaging. Our bio waste goes into the yard for composting.
Asked 3 years ago by Dolphins.
- Answer Why not? But.. only if you do same sort of packaging. It would hinder waste management from separating cans, glass and plastics if you toss them in together.

QuestionWill this fit in an opening of 33 3/4” high if the wheels are taken off?
Asked 5 years ago by Bev.
- Answer This will probably fit very tightly without taking the wheels off. I measured my opening and it is right about that size for height and it fit without removing anything. It was a tight fit. Your tightest area will be the two machine screws at the top of the unit. I put this unit in to replace an old Jenn Air that tightly fit in the same space.
