The development of the garbage compactor machine will significantly
benefit all individuals needing more knowledge and understanding about proper
garbage disposal. The device has a simple function, and it will squeeze enough
garbage into a 12” x 12” cube and be clasped tightly. Because the garbage is
almost sealed because of the pressure of the machine, users will use a
specialized environmental bag to store the squeezed garbage. With the help of
the device, organizing and arranging the garbage will be easier than the current
