Top 11 Trash Compactors For Your Kitchen

What is a trash compactor?

A trash compactor is a device that sits in your kitchen similar to a dishwasher but it doesn’t do the dishes, it cramps up your trash so you won’t have to take out the trash as often and it also saves up on bags. The trash compactor itself is a very simple device, it has a metal ram that crashes the garbage after you place it inside and by doing so decreases the amount of garbage by a lot. Instead of taking out the trash at least once a day with a normal trash bin with a trash compactor you only need to take it out once or twice a week.
