When choosing a trash compactor, start by measuring the space available in your kitchen. Most trash compactors are designed to be installed below your kitchen counter, much like a dishwasher or a microwave drawer. Next, consider the primary finish. Stainless steel trash compactors are usually a popular choice for their sleek and modern appearance.
You might choose to convert a pull-out cabinet for trash and recycling compartments into a trash compactor, or you may repurpose a different lower cabinet. Whatever the case, when adding a garbage compactor to the kitchen, it is wise to consider the electrical connection you will be using. You may not want it to be on the same circuit breaker as a major appliance, like the refrigerator, in case the energy demands are too high for a single circuit.
