A manual trash compactor comprising a can for holding the trash, a lever arm, at least one coupling arm coupling the lever arm to the can, and a plunging arm connected to the lever arm. There is also a compression plate connected to the plunging arm wherein this compression plate is designed to compress garbage inside the can. Disposed on top of the can is a collar and a cover coupled to the collar. The cover is coupled to the collar via a rotatable hinge. In a first embodiment of the invention, the can is disposed in a slidable tray so that the can, is able to be stored in a closed compartment. In addition, disposed adjacent to the can in the tray is a bin for storing other materials such as recyclable bottles. Coupled to either the can or the tray is a support means for supporting the can above a surface such as a kitchen floor. In a second embodiment of the invention the trash compactor is designed to be free standing wherein this trash compactor does not sit in a tray and also does not have a support means for supporting the can.
