An example lavatory waste compartment includes a waste bin having a waste compartment for trash, a waste flap providing an opening into the waste compartment for insertion of the trash, and a manually operated trash compactor coupled to a ceiling. The manually operated trash compactor includes an expansion component connected to a compacting head, and a retraction component coupled to the expansion component to hold or retract the expansion component to a stowed position. An increase in temperature above a threshold temperature causes the retraction component to release the expansion component resulting in deployment of the compacting head into the waste bin. An actuation device is provided to deploy the expansion component from the stowed position, and when deployed, the expansion component blocks opening of the waste flap, and the retraction component causes the expansion component to retract to the stowed position via release of the actuation device.

A trash compactor system includes a receptacle defining a retaining chamber that is configured to receive and retain trash, a compaction plate moveably secured within the retaining chamber, and a foot pedal operatively coupled to the compaction plate. Engagement of the foot pedal moves the compaction plate within the retaining chamber to compact the trash retained within the retaining chamber. A flap may cover an opening into the retaining chamber. The foot pedal may also be operatively coupled to the flap, such that the engagement of the foot pedal moves the flap into an open position that exposes the opening.

A compaction capable receptacle may include a housing with a trash receiving opening, a compaction unit arranged within the housing, and a trash bin arranged within the housing and articulable between a compaction position within the housing and a trash receiving position within the housing, the compaction position aligning the trash bin with a compaction stroke of the compaction unit and the trash receiving position aligning a portion of the trash bin with the trash receiving opening.

The present invention relates to a garbage compression device capable of maximizing the ease and efficiency of garbage collection and disposal by minimizing the volume of various types of garbage, such as food, paper, synthetic resins, or metallic materials, through compression thereof. The present invention comprises: a case in which an input port for garbage is formed on the upper portion thereof, and an output port for compressed garbage is formed on the lower portion thereof; a main body part which is installed inside the case and has a pipe shape, and in which an entrance port, into which the garbage input through the input port is entered, is formed on the upper portion thereof and a discharge port for the compressed garbage is formed on the lower end thereof; a compression part including a compression cylinder, which is installed on the upper end of the main body part, and a compression piston, which is provided in the compression cylinder and compresses the input garbage by being driven back and forth in the main body part through a driving member connected to the compression cylinder; and a gate part having a shape closely conforming to the side surface of the compression piston and protruding along the circumference of the inner side surface of the main body part below the entrance port.

A system includes a vehicle monument, a hose with a fluid line, and an adapter with a triggering unit and a housing, which has a fluid connection. The fluid connection couples to a fluid mating connection, wherein the monument has a fluid main valve and a control unit for controlling the fluid main valve, an inlet of the fluid main valve couples to a fluid suction source, and a first end of the hose connects to the monument such that a first end of the fluid line is coupled to a first outlet of the fluid main valve. A second end of the hose is connected to the adapter such that a second end of the fluid line is coupled to the fluid connection, and the control unit controls the fluid main valve based on a triggering signal from the triggering unit.

A system for compacting waste includes a trolley and a cabin monument. The trolley or the cabin monument has a compacting device. The compacting device includes a cover with a bellows that is arranged on the lower face of the cover and is designed to be movable between a folded-together position, in which the bellows interior has a first volume, and an unfolded position, in which the bellows interior has an enlarged second volume. By suctioning fluid from a container interior formed in the trolley by means of a first cover channel arranged in the cover of the trolley, the bellows can be moved into the unfolded position such that the bellows protrudes far enough into the container interior that the waste container and/or waste in the waste container is compacted.

A compaction capable receptacle may include a housing with a trash receiving opening, a compaction unit arranged within the housing, and a trash bin arranged within the housing and articulable between a compaction position within the housing and a trash receiving position within the housing, the compaction position aligning the trash bin with a compaction stroke of the compaction unit and the trash receiving position aligning a portion of the trash bin with the trash receiving opening.

The portable cardboard baler is an apparatus that receives, stores, compresses, and outputs recyclable items. The apparatus includes an enclosure, a bailing ram, an ejector mechanism, a control panel, a control unit, and a power source. The enclosure houses the bailing ram and the ejector mechanism. The elongated housing houses the recyclable items. The bailing ram compresses the recyclable items. The ejector mechanism pushes the bale of recyclable items out of the elongated housing. The apparatus preferably includes an input door that corresponds to a first opening of the elongated housing. The apparatus also includes a first output door and a second output door that corresponds to a second opening of the elongated housing. The apparatus preferably includes a plurality of environmental sensors to prevent a user from getting injured. The apparatus may further include a vehicle the directly transports the enclosure, the bailing ram, and the ejector mechanism.
