How does the
waste compactor work?
The ram in the compactor squeezes the rubbish flat with tremendous force.
-
What can I put into my compactor?
Anything that you would normally put into your kitchen bin. When putting
in glass, it is recommended that you don't put it at the bottom of the bag or at the sides to prevent broken glass from tearing the trash bag or injuring the person who changes it.
We at The Bin Company do prefer to promote Glass recycling and recommend that you recycle your glass by taking it to one of your local recycle
centres, although the compactor does make a satisfying noise when it
crushes the bottles. If messy waste is at the top of the compartment, it is a good idea to place some newspaper, for example, on the top before compacting to minimise the need for extra cleaning. It is not advisable to insert aerosols or other containers holding combustible materials.
-
How much
can I put in?
You can keep adding rubbish until the compartment is full and the compactor will
compress no further. The compaction cycle will become shortened as the compartment fills up. You don't need to run the cycle each time; merely when the compartment becomes full.

Will my compactor be noisy?
For the short duration of the compaction cycle, there will be some noise on a par with other kitchen appliances.
-
Can I install a custom panel on the door?
Yes. You can install a custom panel on the front of the drawer. They are available in black, white and stainless steel. Alternatively, you could have one made to specification by a kitchen cabinet-maker.
-
Do I have to use
special bags or will any bag work?
The reinforced polyethylene waste compactor bag is designed for your machine
and should only be used. Other bags may become caught in the mechanism and require a chargeable visit by an engineer.
-
How often should I change
the bag?
When the bag is full or the machine won't compact any more of its own accord because of this.
