ABOUT THE “GREEN” PRODUCT

What is the Bettermaid Compactor? The Bettermaid Compactor is a manually operated trash compactor that is affordable and easy to use. Unlike regular garbage cans, The Bettermaid Compactor contains a patented scissor mechanism* concealed under its lid. The scissor mechanism is designed to enable the user to deliver 14 times as much force to the garbage in the can than they normally would. This means that pulling back on the handle with 30 lbs of force will deliver a 400 lbs crushing force to the garbage! Thanks to modern Computer Aided Design (CAD) technology, The Bettermaid Compactor designers were able to develop a compactor which not only functions as designed, but also looks appealing to eye.

The Bettermaid Compactor is made with pride in Canada and its ABS material makes the parts dishwasher safe. The Bettermaid Compactor currently has U.S. , Canadian, and Worldwide patents.

A problem that faces many cities today is that of waste disposal: Populations are growing, but there is a limited amount of space to put our waste. Many cities have already limited the number of bags that can be picked up by waste collection services, and others are even introducing a “pay-by-bag” system to encourage citizens to reduce the amount of waste created. Compacting your garbage reduces its total volume, resulting in less bags being used. The Bettermaid Compactor enables you to compact your garbage with ease. You no longer need to crush your garbage using your hands or feet when you own a Bettermaid Compactor, since its scissor mechanism enables you to crush garbage with up to 400 lbs of force!* The Bettermaid Compactor’s design allows you to place a regular garbage bag inside, ensuring that once the garbage is crushed, you never see it again!
