trash compactors

Waste-crushing kitchen appliances

Trash compactors are appliances that compress household garbage into dense blocks, reducing its volume for disposal.

Common in kitchens, they use a motorized ram to crush waste: The trash compactor cut our weekly bags in half.

Industrial versions handle larger-scale waste management at commercial facilities.
