1. A trash compaction system, comprising a trash compaction stand and a combination trash collection and compaction trolley configured for both mobile and stationary trash collection, the combination trash collection and compaction trolley comprising:(a) a trolley body comprising first and second chambers, the first and second chambers separated by a shared dividing wall;(b) the first chamber comprising a compaction chamber and a main front door providing access to the first chamber, the main front door further comprising a separate trash door for providing access to the first chamber when the trolley is positioned on the trash compaction stand in its stationary use;(c) the second chamber comprising a back wall and shelf dividing the second chamber into a lower storage area accessible via the shared movable dividing wall and an upper trash collection area;(d) an open top portion spanning both the first and second chambers, the open top portion providing access to the compaction chamber of the first chamber and the upper trash collection area of the second chamber;(e) an open face above and extending between the main front door of the first chamber and the back wall of the second chamber, the open face for receiving the trash compaction stand when the trolley is positioned on the trash compaction stand;wherein in use, trash is capable of being top-loaded into the open top portion, front-loaded into the trash door, and loaded into a trash container positioned on the shelf. 2. The trash compaction system of claim 1, wherein the trolley body has wheels and is configured for mobile trash collection. 3. The trash compaction system of claim 2, wherein the trash compaction stand comprises a base, and wherein the trash compaction stand base is configured to receive the trolley, such that the trolley is used for stationary trash collection and compaction. 4. The trash compaction system of claim 1, wherein portions of the interior of the trolley comprise a corrosion resistant steel. 5. The trash compaction system of claim 1, wherein the first chamber is comprised of a material configured to withstand compaction and the second chamber is comprised of a more light-weight, non-compaction resistant material. 6. The trash compaction system of claim 5, wherein the first chamber comprises corrosion resistant steel and wherein the second chamber comprises lightweight aluminum panels. 7. The trash compaction system of claim 5, wherein the lower storage area of the second chamber is configured for storage of compacted or non-compacted trash boxes. 8. The trash compaction system of claim 1, wherein the shared dividing wall can be opened and closed in order to move a trash carton from the first chamber to the second chamber. 9. The trash compaction system of claim 1, wherein the main front door comprises dual independent latches. 10. A method for collecting and compacting trash on board an aircraft, comprising: providing a trolley configured for both mobile and stationary trash collection, the trolley comprising (i) first and second compaction chambers, the first and second compaction chambers separated by a shared dividing wall, the first and second compaction chambers comprising walls that withstand compaction forces, (ii) a shared open top portion between the first and second compaction chambers, (iii) the first compaction chamber comprising a front main door and a separate trash door, (iv) the second compaction chamber comprising a back main door and a separate trash door, and (v) front and back open faces above the front and back main doors for receiving the compaction stand as the trolley is positioned on the trash compaction stand for compaction and stationary use;(c) positioning the trolley on the stand and compacting trash in the first compaction chamber;(d) removing the trolley from the stand and re-positioning the trolley with the second compaction chamber in a compaction position in order for the platen to compact trash in the single vertical plane in the second compaction chamber; and(e) compacting trash in the second compaction chamber. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising removing the trolley from the stand for remote mobile collection and collecting trash in the open top portion. 12. The method of claim 10, further comprising loading trash into the separate trash door of either the front main door or the back main door while the trolley remains positioned on the trash compaction stand. 13. The method of claim 10, wherein the trash compaction stand comprises a control face, and wherein the control face of the trash compaction stand is received by the back open face of the trolley and then the front open face of the trolley as the trolley is positioned on the stand for the compaction (c) and wherein the control face of the trash compaction stand is received by the front open face of the trolley and then the back open face of the trolley as the trolley is positioned on the stand for the compaction (e). 14. A trash compaction system, comprising a trash compaction stand and a combination trash collection and compaction trolley configured for both mobile and stationary trash use, the combination trash collection and compaction trolley comprising:(a) a trolley body consisting of first and second compaction chambers;(b) the first chamber comprising a compaction chamber and a first main door providing access to the first chamber, wherein the first main door comprises a first separate trash door;(c) the second chamber comprising a compaction chamber and a second main door providing access to the second chamber, wherein the second main door comprises a second separate trash door;(d) an open top portion spanning both the first and second chambers, the open top portion providing access to the compaction chamber of the first chamber and to the compaction chamber of the second chamber;(e) an open portion above and extending between the first main door of the first chamber and the second main door of the second chamber, the open portion configured for accommodating the compaction stand in use;the compaction stand comprising a compaction platen configured to be lowered in a single vertical compaction plane in order to compact trash along the compaction plane,wherein trash is capable of being top-loaded into the open top portion of either the first or the second chamber when the trolley is in its mobile use and front-loaded into the front trash door or the back trash door when the trolley is in its stationary use,wherein for compaction, the trolley is positioned on the compaction stand with the first chamber aligned with the compaction plane, and after trash in the first chamber has been compacted, the trolley is removed and re-positioned on the compaction stand with the second chamber aligned with the compaction plane. 15. The trash compaction system of claim 14, wherein both the first and second chambers are comprised of a material configured to withstand compaction forces. 16. The trash compaction system of claim 15, wherein the first chamber undergoes a first compaction, and wherein the trolley is removed from the stand and re-positioned for a second compaction in the second chamber. 17. The trolley of claim 14, wherein the first and second chambers comprise walls that withstand compaction forces and that are formed from, lined with, or reinforced with a material that is sufficient to withstand a compaction process from the platen. 18. The trash compaction system of claim 14, wherein the trash compaction stand comprises a control face, and wherein the control face of the trash compaction stand is configured to be received by the open portion above and extending between the first main door of the first chamber and the second main door of the second chamber when the trolley is positioned on the trash compaction stand.
