Equipment built to last, backed by people who actually show up.
Norton Equipment started in 1997 as Norton Compressor Service and grew into the Mid-South’s independent specialist for waste and recycling equipment. Independent is the key word.
National haulers lock equipment into hauling contracts. Single-brand dealers sell whatever the factory ships. We sell, service, and rebuild every major brand, so the machine on your pad is the right one, and your hauling contract stays yours to bid.
- Our own service techs, not subcontractors
- An in-house fabrication shop that rebuilds machines others only replace
- New and reconditioned options quoted side by side
- Free on-site waste stream evaluations with honest math
Start with your waste. We'll name the machine.
Not sure which compactor fits? Answer three questions, the same ones we'd ask on the phone, and land on the exact machine for your operation.
