Abstract:

A trash compactor has trash compacting means attached to a chassis that is supported in the upper end of the housing for limited movement relative to its side walls and is detachable in a manner facilitating servicing of the trash compacting means. The chassis moves upwardly in response to reaction force developing on the application of compacting pressures to the trash by the compacting means and, at its upper limit of travel, it transfers the reaction forces to the side walls of the housing.
