Compactor
A waste compactor reduces household trash to as little as 25% of its original volume. And at less than 15 inches wide, the compactor compacts most refuse, including paper, cans, bottles, jars, plastic containers, wrappings, sweepings and some food wastes. Powerful operation is the result of a heavy-duty motor and ram force crushing items to one-quarter of their original size.
How the Garbage Compactor Works
Simply drop trash into a disposable bag that lines the trash drawer and close the drawer. When you start the compactor, an electrically-operated ram moves down into the drawer, compacts trash, moves back up again—and the compactor shuts off automatically. |
Disposer
A disposer has a powerful grinding action that reduces food waste to small particles, making them safe for any properly sized septic system. The new insulation package assures quiet operation. Hardworking, quiet and easy to install, it’s easy to see how the new GE Disposall® will fit into every kitchen.
How the Waste Disposer Works
Food wastes are fed into the disposer through the sink drain opening. The wastes fall into the grinding mechanism and are shredded into particles small enough to be floated away by the water. |
