Trash compactors use a motor-driven ram system to compress household waste into a smaller volume. The compaction process helps reduce the number of trash bags needed and improves waste storage efficiency.

Most compactors rely on switches, motors, gears, controls, and safety systems to operate properly. When one of these components fails, the appliance may stop compacting correctly or fail to operate altogether.
