How the compactor works

The compactor compresses household trash up to 1/6 of its original volume. It will compact normal household trash 
including milk cartons, glass and plastic bottles, containers and jars, tin cans, wrappings, boxes, food wastes, etc.

When you start the compactor, an electrically powered ram moves down into the trash bucket, compresses the trash 
and then returns to the “UP” position and shuts off automatically.

NOTE: The ram travels about 2/3 of the way down into the trash bucket. Because of this, the trash bucket must be at 
least 1/3 full before you will notice any compression.
