Epax Systems is a waste-handling equipment and services company that helps businesses in the United States and Canada manage waste affordably. It supplies industrial compactors and recycling balers, and backs them with service, repair, rentals, and managed waste programs. If your facility generates enough waste that hauling costs or dumpster logistics have become a problem, Epax is the kind of vendor you would call for equipment and ongoing support.

What Epax Systems provides

The company's offering splits into two broad areas: equipment and services.

Equipment

• Industrial compactors — including ROPAX jumbo compactors, large stationary compactors, self-contained compactors, stationary compactors, vertical compactors, apartment compactors, indoor compactors, and auger compactors.
• Recycling balers — vertical downstroke balers and horizontal balers.
• Compactor and baler accessories — including odor control systems and the Axxess control system.
• Parts, plus used and refurbished equipment.
• Rentals for equipment you don't want to buy outright.

The ROPAX line is worth noting because it covers several distinct use cases:

The site also lists SANITECH auger compactors (high-efficiency compaction with no hydraulics), high-density balers, self-contained compactors for large volumes of wet waste, and Macpresse as a manufacturing partner.

Services

• Equipment service and repair
• Managed waste services
• Maintenance and repair

Who it's for

The company states it helps companies in the United States and Canada manage waste affordably. In practice, that means operations that produce enough waste to justify on-site compaction or baling — for example, a distribution center, grocery or retail location, apartment property, or food-handling facility dealing with wet waste.

If you only need occasional pickup of a small volume, compaction equipment is probably more than you need. If you're paying for frequent hauls, dealing with overflowing containers, or want to sell or reduce recycling volume, the equipment categories above are the relevant ones.

How to get started

1. Identify your waste type and volume — dry recyclables point toward balers; wet waste points toward self-contained compactors; multi-location or multi-container setups point toward the ROPAX traversing or mobile options.
2. Contact Epax for a quote. The site advertises a free, no-obligation quote.
3. Ask about the fit for your site — whether you need a purchase, a rental, or a managed service arrangement, and what service coverage looks like in your region.

Contact details listed on the site:

• Toll free: 800.220.6776
• Telephone: 818.994.2870
• Fax: 818.994.4032
• Address: 14641 Arminta Street, Panorama City, CA 91402

There is also a Pay My Bill page for existing customers.

Where to learn more

The site organizes further detail into a few sections worth checking depending on what you need:

• Who We Are — the company and team
• Equipment — full product catalog by category
• Services — service, repair, managed waste, maintenance
• Resources — videos, brochures, news and articles, engineering drawings
• Let's Talk Trash! — trade shows and events
• Manufacturing Partners — the brands behind the equipment

Engineering drawings and brochures are the most useful pages if you're evaluating whether a specific compactor or baler will fit your site before you call.

Epax Systems publishes a resource library and works with named manufacturing partners, and both are visible from its site navigation and homepage content. The resources are organized under a "Resources" menu with Videos, Brochures, News and Articles, and Engineering Drawings, plus a "Let's Talk Trash!" section and a Trade Shows and Events page. On the partner side, the homepage identifies Macpresse as a global leader in waste compaction and lists it among the company's manufacturing partners. If you are evaluating Epax Systems for a waste or recycling project, these two areas are where you can check technical fit and credibility before requesting a quote.

Resource sections on the site

The site groups its reference material so you can find drawings, literature, or background without contacting sales first.

For a practical use case: if you need to confirm whether a compactor will fit a specific pad or chute arrangement, the Engineering Drawings section is the first place to look, and the Brochures section can give you capacity and configuration context before you talk to anyone.

Manufacturing partners

The homepage names Macpresse as a manufacturing partner and describes it as a global leader in waste compaction. That matters if you are comparing baler or compactor brands, because it tells you Epax Systems is not only a distributor of its own line but also represents established equipment makers.

The site also has a dedicated Manufacturing Partners page, which is the right place to check the full current list rather than relying on the homepage excerpt. Partner lists change, so verify there before assuming a specific brand is still represented.

Company background and team

Epax Systems presents itself as serving companies in the United States and Canada with affordable waste management, and the site includes a "Who We Are" area split into The Company and The Team. For a buyer, the team page is useful for knowing who you would actually deal with, and the company page gives context on history and scope.

How to use these resources to decide

1. Start with Brochures and Engineering Drawings to narrow equipment type and footprint.
2. Check News and Articles and Let's Talk Trash! for how the company explains waste problems in practice.
3. Review the Manufacturing Partners page to confirm brand support.
4. Check Trade Shows and Events if you prefer to see equipment in person.
5. Then request a quote — the site advertises a free, no-obligation quote and lists a toll-free number, 800.220.6776, along with a Panorama City, CA address and phone/fax contacts.

One caveat: the site does not publish pricing on these resource pages, and the only billing-related link is "Pay My Bill." Treat any cost figures as something you obtain through a quote rather than from the resource library.

Call Epax Systems toll-free at 800.220.6776 for a free, no-obligation quote, or use the "Get a FREE, no obligation quote today!" prompt on their website. The company also lists a local telephone number, a fax line, a mailing address, and a "Pay My Bill" page for existing customers. Epax Systems serves companies in the United States and Canada that need help managing waste affordably.

Contact Methods at a Glance

Getting a Quote

The site's primary call to action is a free, no-obligation quote. To start one:

1. Call 800.220.6776 (toll-free) or 818.994.2870.
2. Describe your waste stream and site — for example, whether you generate wet waste, dry commercial waste, or recyclables, and how much space you have.
3. Expect a recommendation from their equipment lineup, which includes industrial compactors, recycling balers, and accessories.

Epax Systems positions itself as finding the right solution rather than simply selling a unit, so the quote conversation is where that matching happens. If you already know the equipment category you need, naming it (for example, a self-contained compactor for wet waste or a vertical downstroke baler for cardboard) can speed things up.

Paying a Bill

Existing customers can use the Pay My Bill page linked from the site navigation. The site does not publish which payment platforms or card networks it accepts, so confirm accepted payment methods with the office if you need that detail before paying.

What to Have Ready Before You Call

• Your facility location (US or Canada)
• Type and approximate volume of waste or recyclables
• Available space and any power or installation constraints
• Whether you are buying, renting, or need service and repair

This matters because Epax Systems covers more than equipment sales: the site also lists equipment service and repair, managed waste services, maintenance and repair, rentals, and used or refurbished equipment. Knowing which of these you need keeps the first call short.

Other Reasons to Get in Touch

• Service and repair — for existing compactors and balers
• Rentals — if you need equipment without a purchase
• Parts and accessories — including odor control systems and the Axxess Control System
• Employment — the site lists employment opportunities
• Resources — videos, brochures, news and articles, and engineering drawings are available on the site if you want to review specifications before calling

Common Snags

• The email address on the site is protected from spambots and requires JavaScript enabled to view, so the phone numbers are the more reliable route.
• The site does not state business hours, so call during normal Pacific Time business hours unless you confirm otherwise.
• Pricing is not published anywhere on the site — the quote is the only way to get numbers.

Epax Systems supplies waste compaction and recycling equipment for commercial, industrial, and multi-family properties in the United States and Canada, along with service, rentals, and used equipment. If you are trying to decide which machine fits your waste stream, start with two questions: what material you handle (dry recyclables vs. wet or high-volume waste) and where the waste is generated (a single chute, a loading dock, or multiple points across a campus). The list below maps Epax's catalog to those situations.

Industrial Compactors

These are the heavy-duty units for large waste volumes, typically paired with roll-off containers or transfer stations.

• ROPAX Jumbo — Built for compaction into roll-off containers. It comes in several configurations:
  • Traversing: rail-mounted, able to service up to 8 side-by-side containers.
  • Mobile: for servicing containers in multiple locations throughout a facility or campus.
  • Trans-Pak: a rolling compactor mounted to an over-the-road truck.
• ROPAPX Roto Compactor — Industrial-grade rotary compactors designed to sit directly in the area where waste is generated, rather than at a central point.
• Large Stationary Compactors — Fixed-position units for sustained, high-volume waste handling.
• Self-Contained Compactors — Designed to handle large volumes of wet waste, where the container and compactor share a sealed body.
• Auger Compactors (SANITECH) — High-efficiency compaction with no hydraulics, which removes hydraulic fluid as a maintenance and leak concern.

Commercial and Site-Specific Compactors

Smaller or placement-specific units for retail, restaurants, offices, and residential buildings.

• Commercial Compactors — General-purpose units for commercial waste streams.
• Stationary Compactors — Fixed units for a defined waste point.
• Vertical Compactors — Space-efficient units that compact downward.
• Apartment Compactors — Sized for multi-family buildings and their daily volume.
• Indoor Compactors — Designed for installation inside a building where outdoor space isn't available.

Recycling Balers

For dry recyclables such as cardboard, paper, and plastic film, balers produce tied bales rather than compacted waste.

• Vertical Downstroke Baler — A common choice for retail and warehouse cardboard; smaller footprint than horizontal models.
• Horizontal Baler — For higher volumes and continuous baling operations.
• High Density Balers — Described as designed for safety and simplicity.
• Macpresse — Epax lists Macpresse as a global leader in waste compaction among its manufacturing partners.

Accessories, Controls, and Parts

• Odor Control Systems — For waste streams that generate persistent smells, such as wet or food waste.
• Axxess Control System — A control platform for the equipment.
• Compactor & Baler Accessories — Supporting hardware for installed units.
• Parts — Replacement components for maintenance and repair.

Used, Refurbished, and Rental Options

Epax lists used and refurbished equipment and rentals alongside new equipment. These are worth asking about when your volume is seasonal, when you need capacity before a permanent installation, or when budget favors a refurbished unit over new. Availability and condition vary by unit, so confirm specifics directly.

How to Choose Between Them

Getting a Recommendation and a Quote

Epax offers a free, no-obligation quote and can be reached at 800.220.6776 (toll free) or 818.994.2870. The company is located at 14641 Arminta Street, Panorama City, CA 91402, and serves customers in the United States and Canada. Existing customers can use the Pay My Bill option on the site.

Before you call, have these details ready: material type, approximate daily or weekly volume, where waste is generated, available footprint and power, and whether you need hauling coordination. Those five answers will narrow the catalog to one or two realistic options.

Epax Systems provides three service categories beyond equipment sales: Equipment Service & Repair, Maintenance & Repair, and Managed Waste Services. These are listed as separate service lines on the company's website, alongside its equipment catalog. If you already own a compactor or baler and need it serviced, or if you want waste handling managed for you rather than buying equipment outright, these are the relevant offerings. The site also lists Rentals and Used and Refurbished Equipment as alternatives to new equipment purchases.

Equipment Service & Repair

This service line covers repair work on waste handling equipment. The site lists it as a distinct offering from equipment sales, which means existing equipment owners can request service without going through a new purchase.

The company's equipment catalog gives a sense of what this service likely covers, since these are the machine types in its lineup:

• Industrial compactors, including ROPAX Jumbo, large stationary, commercial, ROPAX Roto, self-contained, stationary, vertical, apartment, indoor, and auger compactors
• Recycling balers, including vertical downstroke and horizontal balers
• Compactor and baler accessories, odor control systems, and the Axxess Control System
• Parts, plus used and refurbished equipment

If your equipment is one of these types, Equipment Service & Repair is the service line to ask about. The site does not publish service pricing, response times, or coverage terms, so those details need to come from a direct inquiry.

Maintenance & Repair

Maintenance & Repair is listed separately from Equipment Service & Repair. The distinction on the site is not spelled out, but the practical reading is that one covers ongoing upkeep and the other covers fixing equipment that has broken down. For planning purposes, treat them as two related service tracks and confirm which one applies to your situation when you call.

The company also lists Equipment Service & Repair and Maintenance & Repair as separate menu items under Services, alongside Managed Waste Services — so all three are positioned as ongoing service offerings, not one-time add-ons to a purchase.

Managed Waste Services

Managed Waste Services is the broadest service line: instead of buying or renting equipment and handling waste operations yourself, you have Epax manage the waste side of your operation. The company describes its role as helping companies in the United States and Canada manage waste affordably, and its tagline for this area is finding the right solution for the customer rather than pushing a single product.

This is the option to evaluate if your goal is to reduce the internal work of waste handling — equipment selection, service coordination, and related logistics — rather than to own and maintain machines yourself.

Rentals and Refurbished Equipment as Service Alternatives

Two more options sit between buying new and full managed service:

These matter for the "beyond selling equipment" question because they show the company supports customers who do not want a straight new-equipment purchase.

How to Get Service Support

The site provides these contact routes:

• Toll free: 800.220.6776
• Telephone: 818.994.2870
• Fax: 818.994.4032
• Address: 14641 Arminta Street, Panorama City, CA 91402
• Contact page and Pay My Bill page are both linked in the site navigation
• The site invites visitors to "Get a FREE, no obligation quote today" by calling 800.220.6776

There is also a Spanish language option linked near the toll-free number, and the navigation includes Employment Opportunities, Trade Shows and Events, and Manufacturing Partners pages.

What to Confirm Before Committing

The site does not publish service pricing, contract terms, service areas beyond "United States and Canada," or response-time commitments. Before choosing a service line, ask directly:

1. Which service line applies to your equipment type and situation — Equipment Service & Repair, Maintenance & Repair, or Managed Waste Services?
2. Is service available in your location, and what are the scheduling terms?
3. Does the free quote cover service work, or only equipment?
4. For managed service, what is included and what stays with your team?

The "Pay My Bill" link indicates an existing billing relationship for some customers, but the site does not state whether service accounts and equipment purchases are billed the same way.
