Abstract: A trash compactor is especially designed for industrial and commercial usage. A compacting unit is driven by an electricity-free drive unit for allowing applications in hazardous environments, such as offshore drilling rigs. Specifically, a hydraulic pump is pneumatically driven for powering the compactor. A container used in the compactor is specially designed for facilitating removal of the relatively bulky and heavy compacted trash.
