ABSTRACT:
A refuse compactor is disclosed that includes a flexible bag of non-permeable material having an opening through which refuse can be placed in the bag. The bag is supported in an upright position to receive refuse through the openings in the bag. A lid is positioned to close the opening in the bag, as the pressure in the bag is reduced below atmospheric pressure periodically to crush and compact the refuse in the bag. The pressure is reduced by pumping air from the bag through a flexible hose that extends to the bottom of the bag to that any liquid collected in the bottom of the bag will be moved also.
