More Information
Summary:A trash compactor includes a container and a ram for compacting waste materials deposited therein, and a reusable liner positioned within the container receives the waste material, and facilitates removal of the waste material after compaction thereof. The liner has interfitting sections each with upstanding sidewalls and a bottom wall with one sidewall of each of the sections being shortened to permit their ready assembly and disassembly. A tubular bag of seamless plastic sheet material having one sealed end is placed in the liner, and a cuff portion folds over the upper end of the liner and the container. Holes in the cuff portion engage buttons on the exterior of the container. The buttons have enlarged heads formed as sections of a sphere. When a bag of compacted trash is removed, the material drops to the sealed end of the bag and the cuff portion can close the open end of the bag. The holes may then provide a means for engaging a tie to close the bag.
