Abstract
A portable waste container having a built-in DC-to-hydraulic power converter and hydraulic compaction system to provide for efficient waste management. The hydraulic power converter is connected to a source of electrical power, preferably a vehicle battery by jumper cables located within the portable waste container. A telescoping cylinder ram and platen mechanism use power obtained from the DC-to-hydraulic conversion to compact the waste. The opening of the waste container has a second angled side which rests above the platen to both increase the traditional opening size and decrease the pressure of compacted trash against the top of the platen therefore reducing the amount of waste returning back into the hopper section after compaction.
