  • Yes, you can put food in a trash compactor. The compactor will break down the food and compress it into smaller pieces, making it easier to store or dispose of. However, you should avoid putting any plastic or Styrofoam packaging in the compactor, as it can damage the machine. Also, make sure to empty the compactor before it becomes too full, as excess weight can cause the machine to break down.

    Yes, you can put food in a trash compactor. But it's not advisable because the food will end up being mashed and will take up more space in the trash compactor. It's better to put the food in a sealed bag and then dispose of it in the trash.
