A garbage container with a compress device includes a first cylinder having a first receiving space defined therein. A compress plate is reciprocally and movably received in the first cylinder for compressing the garbage in the garbage container. A cover is pivotally mounted on a top portion of the first cylinder. The cover has an opening defined therein and communicating with the first receiving space in the first cylinder. The cover includes a seat attached to a bottom of the cover and having an opening defined in the seat and corresponding to the opening in the cover. The opening in the cover allows a user's foot extending into the garbage container to step the compress plate for compressing garbage. A restituting device is mounted in the seat for providing a restitution force to the compress plate after compressing the garbage in the garbage container.
