Waste compactors use ram force to reduce the volume of your trash by 75 to 80 percent. This means five times less trips to the curb. There is also an environmental impact. Trash compactors mean less space in landfills and less plastic trash bags. Your kitchen will look nicer and, with built-in air fresheners, smell better. Home trash compactors are easy to use and fit conveniently under your counter.

Three of the top trash compactors on the market are the Broan Elite 15XE, Whirlpool TU950QPXS and the KitchenAid Architect KUCS03FTSS. Your first concern when it comes to a garbage compactor is finding the space. T Shirt HuskyIt’s essential to take accurate measurements before you start shopping. How Much Does It Cost To Repair A Cigarette Burn In A CarMost compactors are available at a width of 12 to 15 inches and a height of 34 to 35 inches, which will fit under most counters. Snow Camo Car Seat CoverOnce the size is clear, you should consider looking at how much power you need, what additional features interest you, and how much extra time you’ll need to maintain the unit and buy supplies. Trash compactors offer a range of 1.4 cubic feet to 1.7 cubic feet and will have a compacting force between 2,000 and 5,000 pounds.

In most cases, more force means a higher price. Also, you should look at the horsepower of the motor. A high capacity with a lower horsepower means a louder compactor. The garbage compactor will include a compaction ratio. For example, if the ratio is 4:1, it means the compactor will fit the average volume of four bags into the size of one. Remember, the more trash in a bag, the heavier it will be, so you should consider how much you can safely lift before solely buying the highest compaction ratio available. Beyond compaction, waste compactors are designed to be safe and convenient to use. One handy feature you should look for is a simple toe bar. This is a switch on the floor that will open the compactor automatically when you click it with your foot. When your arms are full of larger items to throw away, it will make your life a lot easier. The trash compactor you choose should also include air freshener compartments or charcoal filters to reduce odor. If you have small children, you might also want to consider removable key-knob controls, which prevent accidental use, as well as anti-jam sensors to alert you if the compactor is overfilled.

Except for the usual cleaning required with most appliances, trash compactors should be maintenance free. You should consider how far the compartment will extend out of the cabinet. The farther it opens, the easier it will be to clean. You will also need to replace the bags as usual. Some trash compactors will use regular bags, while others have proprietary bags that only work with their units. You should keep in mind that trash compactors are only for compaction. For organic foods, consider using the garbage disposal. You’ll also need to keep a separate container if you recycle. That being said, there is nothing more unsightly than a large garbage can in the middle of your kitchen taking up space. And small, under-the-counter cans need constant replacement. Trash compactors match your décor and keep garbage out of sight, where it belongs.For anyone who is considering a kitchen renovation, I write to express my wholehearted recommendation of kitchen designer Geri Giordano. I had waited many years before deciding to redo my kitchen and by the time I went to Elite Kitchen and Bath, I wanted something really special.

I was introduced to Geri almost right away. Although I told her I would not be beginning the project for several months, she patiently guided me through all the styles of cabinets available, helping me select color, frame and design months before the job began. I never knew there were so many things to consider, but Geri was always available to discuss my concerns and offer advice. Happily, she took the initiative to change the plan (which looked good to me) to afford me deeper cabinets and more drawer space. When I finally said "go," the room was gutted and construction began. There were still so many details to consider. Geri not only knew what worked, but she went out of her way to research ideas I had pictured in my mind. Geri spent time searching for special carved bin pulls, sending me photos that met my specifications and recommending knobs from another company that provided the best match. She helped me select the perfect floor tiles, recommended wonderful suppliers for appliances and granite and thought of special touches I had never considered -- like crystal knobs for two glass cabinet doors.

I'm also grateful she steered me away from some of my ideas (like dark countertops) that just would not have worked in the space. Lots of designers may be good, but two important factors make Geri special. First, I so appreciate that she never imposed her own taste on me. In fact, we have different styles. But somehow, we worked together like yin and yang, and her suggestions opened my eyes to new ideas so that an ideal kitchen emerged. The second factor has to do with how she met the challenge of designing a grand kitchen for a small co-op. Geri gave my kitchen the same attention she would have given a palatial space. And in the end, my beautiful kitchen -- with its recessed and under-the-counter lighting, a small but ornate chandelier, lots of granite and creamy hues, is truly fit for a queen.Finally, I want to say that through our work together, I feel like Geri has become a friend. It can't be easy to make every client feel like their job is top priority, but Geri does through her thoughtfulness, attention and concern for the client's satisfaction.

I could not have achieved the result I did without Geri's professional skill and guidance, and I cannot recommend her more highly!Dear Yeheskel,We wanted to thank you and to tell you how much we appreciate the work that you are soon to complete for us in our kitchen. We know that you extended yourself by the small renovations you did here, even though we were not your original customers.We found the people that we worked with in your company to be professional, skilled, reliable and attentive.Since we are so pleased, we are wondering if you do small jobs as well as the beautiful renovation work that you do?  We would very much like to have you serve us in the future and at this time we are not in need of any large scale work. Again, thank you so much for your kind attention and assistance.EK Manhasset, NY  As a business owner myself I can, most definitely, appreciate the service and knowledge of you and your staff.My bathroom project done by you at the end of 2013 resulted in my recommendation of Elite Kitchen & Bath and Express Contracting to my sister and brother-in-law.
