Waste disposal is one of the most challenging issues industries face today. The average
disposal cost for a 55-gallon drum can range from $200-$700. Further complicating the
disposal picture is the shrinking number of active landfills. As a result, companies are pursuing
innovative ways to reduce their disposal costs.
In 1994, New Pig developed the PIG

drums they sent out for disposal. Compaction ratios ranged from a high of 6:1 to a low of 2:1.
New Pig's Product Development Team has designed the following features to insure safe
operation: an improved ram guard completely encloses the top of the drum and drum door
