ABSTRACT:
A manual trash compactor comprising a base, having a top surface and a handle, having a proximal end and a distal end. A socket is hollowed out of the top surface of the base with an upwardly extending flange on each side of the socket. The proximal end of the handle is smaller in diameter than the rest of the handle. The proximal end fits into the socket on the top surface of the base. Each flange has a bore extending through it, both bores aligned with each other. The proximal end of the handle has a slot extending through it, so that when the handle is placed in the socket, the bores and the slot are aligned. A pin is inserted through the bores and the slot, thereby locking the handle into position in the base. The shape of the base is either a foot or a hand. Interchangeable handles, namely, T-shaped, L-shaped or straight, are attached to a base.
