A waste compactor comprising a cabinet having an extendible ram assembly mounted adjacent the upper end thereof and a removable dolly associated with the lower end thereof. The dolly is adapted to support a vertically elongated support device which is adapted to be inserted into the interior of a disposable flexible bag for supporting the bag in an open and upright position for permitting trash to be deposited therein when the support device and bag is disposed on the dolly and positioned under the ram assembly. The support device also acts as a liner for protecting the bag. A chute is swingably mounted on the cabinet for permitting waste to be deposited into the bag. The chute is movable into a closed position wherein it substantially closes the front wall of the cabinet and, when in the closed position, coacts with a safety device to permit energization of the ram assembly. The safety device prevents actuation of the ram assembly when the chute is open or when the dolly is removed from the cabinet.

A waste compactor for permitting the depositing and compacting of waste within a flexible bag, comprising: housing means; extendible ram means mounted on and positioned adjacent the upper end of said housing means, said ram means being movable downwardly for permitting compacting of waste; removable dolly means coacting with the lower end of said housing means and including bottom wall means positionable directly beneath said ram means when said dolly means is in a first position permitting compacting of waste, said dolly means having support roller means thereon and being movable outwardly relative to said housing means to a second position wherein said dolly means is laterally spaced from said ram means, said dolly means when in said second position permitting a flexible bag to be mounted thereon or removed therefrom; support means removably positioned and supported on said bottom wall means of said dolly means in a free-standing manner for supporting a flexible bag in an open upright position to permit waste to be deposited and compacted therein, said support means comprising an elongated tubelike assembly of substantially rectangular cross section and having an unobstructed vertical opening extending therethrough, said tubelike assembly being positioned in the interior of said bag for maintaining said bag in an open upright condition in surrounding relationship to said tubelike assembly, said tubelike means and said surrounding bag being supported on said bottom wall means and disposed beneath said ram assembly when said dolly means is in said first position; said tubelike assembly being of a clamshell-like construction and including a pair of vertically extending elements positioned in opposed relationship to one another so as to define said vertical opening therebetween, at least one of said elements having a channel-shaped cross section, and means hingedly interconnecting said pair of elements adjacent the upper ends thereof for enabling the lower ends of said elements to be vertically pivotally swung toward and away from one another; and said dolly means including stop means fixed thereon for overlapping the lower free ends of said elements when the tubelike assembly is positioned on the bottom wall means for preventing said elements from swinging outwardly away from one another when waste is being compacted in the interior thereof by said ram means.
