Wilkinson Chutes Canada

What Wilkinson Chutes Canada does

Wilkinson Chutes Canada is a product brand operating under Metro Compactor Services Inc., a privately held Ontario corporation headquartered in Brampton. The company designs, manufactures, and maintains garbage and linen chute systems for multi-residential high-rise buildings and commercial properties, and claims to have pioneered chute-system design in the 1920s. Its product line includes garbage chute systems (new construction and retrofit applications), linen chute systems, and the Puroma M300 deodorizer for odor control, complemented by professional installation and ongoing maintenance services delivered by a specialized technical team.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model: one-time equipment sales for new construction and retrofits, professional installation services, and subscription-style bundled maintenance and support contracts on the installed base. Distribution and customer engagement are handled exclusively through Metro Compactor Service, which maintains sales, installation, and emergency service coverage across Canada from offices in Brampton, Ontario and Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, and markets Wilkinson alongside its broader waste and recycling equipment portfolio under industry association memberships (OWMA, WMABC, GTAA, ACMO, FRPO).

Wilkinson Chutes Canada was founded in the 1920s and has historically operated as a brand within the Metro Compactor group. In July 2024, Metro Compactor Service acquired Ottawa-based Power Compactec Canada to broaden its service footprint. On March 9, 2026, Komar Industries acquired Metro Compactor Service together with BaleForce and Chute Source as part of a strategic expansion of its North American waste and recycling platform, placing the Wilkinson brand under a larger industry consolidator.
