Abstract
A solid waste compactor having multiple waste receptacles for separately receiving, temporarily holding and compacting separate classes of solid waste, for example paper, glass, aluminum cans and steel cans. A single screw-driven compaction ram compacts solid waste in the several receptacles. The compaction ram extends from a trolley which is movable in two orthogonal directions on orthogonal tracks positioned above the receptacles. A reversible compaction motor mounted on the trolley drives the compaction ram up and down. The receptacles are mounted on a slidable carriage for removal from the compactor.
