Default Re-cycling compactor

Temporarily in charge of the recycling boxes and struggling to fit 2
weeks worth of plastic containers into one box, I was reminded of an
earlier thread about getting more into a standard wheelie bin.

This got me wondering about design and marketing opportunities for a
domestic compactor/wrapper. Recyclable net wrap is already produced for
wrapping agricultural straw bales and could be made in less wide sizes.

Now if Dyson2 could devise an affordable hand/foot powered compactor
there is a one per household market:-)


It was around about 50 years ago. It didn't sell enough to survive.
Can't remember the name of the company which made it.
