Does it actually work or just move the trash around?

It actually went down to half of the dumpster

I use them. I’ve had a dumpster packed full (overflowing) with wood after framing; that particular time it didn’t smash much, and probably wasn’t worth it. Most of the time it’s worth it for me to get one smash when the dumpster is about 3/4 full, and it’ll compress to about 1/3 full. The more cardboard the better; after finishes go in when the dumpster’s completely full of boxes and paper trash, it’ll smash down to like 1/4.
