ABSTRACT:
An elongated post member having a handle at the upper end and an enlarged compacting head at the lower end thereof provides a portable tool for compacting paper waste in waste cans of the type generally having a plastic liner therein and normally receiving predominantly paper waste such as cups, bags, napkins, straws, wrappers, light cardboard boxes and the like. The compacting head is in the shape of a flat, generally open, framework formed of a smoothly joined, solid round or tubular, non-porous, metallic material with a non-porous chrome, vinyl, or smooth baked enamel finish for sanitary purposes. The compacting head is flat on the bottom and of sufficient size to make the tool self-standing when not is use. The operative area of the compacting head covers at least 20% of the cross-sectional area of the waste can with which the tool is to be used. The open framework is formed by a plurality of substantially radial arms, emanating at the center of the framework and connected at their extremities by a plurality of peripheral members. The overall weight of the tool is in the range of two to five pounds.
