My garden waste recycling bin is often brim full and compacted by

Just snip the woody stuff up into easily compressible

Green waste is no problem, everything is composted (we are on a small
farm). Before Rother changed their sub-contractor they would take extra
bags of recycling and flattened card board left next to the bin, but the
new lot have refused and just left it all with a snotty note

I'd like to incinerate cardboard but the clinging smell of smouldering
cardboard is not nice for our guests in the holiday cottages .

Hence looking for a squisher !

You can mulch up cardboard with other green waste and simply
compost it along with whatever vegetarian animal poo you
have access to.

You can also shred it & use as cat litter. Little domestic shredders typically want it cutting into strips narrower than A4, look for the slowest feed rate to get the greatest torque.

I thought that's what the Metro was for :-). (placing in
the tray with cat litter on top).
