3. LITERATURE
Humans have always had an
impact on their surroundings.
Garbage is one of our biggest
effects on nature. Unlike other
animals, humans create too
much waste for nature to keep
up. Total amount of solid waste
in India is 65-70 million tons per year. Almost 42 percent of that garbage is in paper wastes.
With the continually rising of the earth’s population, the situation is going to get harder and
harder to slow it down, or fix it. With garbage comes pollution; from the burning of garbage we
are destroying the atmosphere just as fast as we are just leaving the garbage on the ground. When
you burn garbage it gives off extremely poisonous gases into the atmosphere. If a person
breathes this air it can hurt their lungs and if untreated can result in cancers or even death. Even
if we burry our garbage not all of it will decompose, as there are some material needs centuries
to decompose. By polluting the ground it can seep into our farming soil and even into our ground
water, which can cause dramatic consequences.
Compacting trashes is considered a great solution for the problem of throwing garbage
as it was examined in well developed countries and solved the problem of thrown garbage in the
streets or burning extra garbage which is the same problem that India is facing, and in result it
also reduce the pollution amount due to the smoke of burning garbage and the diseases caused
because of the uncovered garbage in streets where people walk through and others live nearby.
4. INTRODUCTION
Waste(s) is a pejorative term for unwanted materials. The term can be described as subjective
and inaccurate because waste to one person is not waste to another Waste collection is a part of
the process of waste management. It is the transfer of solid waste from the point of use and
disposal to the point of treatment or landfill. But here in Egypt it’s normally thrown in streets and
beside the building because in most of the cities there are not enough bins or they are all full so
people just leave their garbage right beside them and go one by one until the garbage fills the

3. side walk and people starts to walk in the roads, and after a little while the garbage starts to
spread to roads.
Our trash compactor can be really useful to avoid that problem since it
can carry many times more than the normal bins with equivalent size .therefore using such
trashes is required to help in reducing the garbage view in streets and help saving our country
from becoming a big landfill of garbage.
5. Problem Definition
The garbage problem seems like a problem that can't be solved. Over the past years a lot of
governments tried to solve the problem but they couldn't; perhaps they didn't have the strong will
of solving this issue. They even hired foreign companies to help them, but their only concern was
collecting money not garbage. And the problem elevated until we reached a critical situation
where garbage is everywhere, even in the high standard districts. The scene now is that we have
mountains of garbage, and the problem is deteriorating [1]. Strangely these mountains of garbage
turned to be meals for the poor people who dive through the garbage in a hunt for food; of course
they don't care about the consequences what they are doing but their only concern is to find food
to cover their daily needs. In Mumbai, this situation is very critical because of the high
population density, and the increased amount of garbage produced as well as the deficiency in
the collection process, means of transportation and the recycling systems. Mumbai produces
about 14,000 tons of solid waste daily, according to statistics from the Central pollution control
board, More than 60 percent of that is removed from residents’ doorsteps early in the morning,
while people are sleeping. The garbage collectors, who number between 80,000 and 150,000,
take this waste back to their neighborhoods
and then proceed to manage and dispose of the waste efficiently by hand, recycling about 80
percent. However, despite employing them in this job decades ago, the government does not
officially recognize them, and they continue to live hand to mouth, day by day, in extreme
poverty, with little to no access to health and social services. The garbage scene is becoming
more and more visible as trash is thrown everywhere in streets, because no laws are being
enforced in the postrevolution period. Mumbai waste management problem began to increase by
population growth while the government still using the old system of removing garbage without
any development. A swine flu panic prompted the mass slaughter of the pigs that recycled
Mumbai's organic garbage; the city's metal trash bins were easy prey for thieves, especially
during the global scrap metal boom. There is no one to hold back the diggers –who rummage
through the bags of plastic, glass and cardboard and leave the organic stuff to rot in the streets.
Also the government doesn't put any laws to protect the environment or even the streets; there
are no penalties on people not following the rules or ethics of the environment. Another problem
is that the garbage bins are not covering all the people needs by all means. The garbage bins are
not well distributed all over the cities and governorates, some people can't find any nearby
garbage bins, but the bigger problem is that the garbage bins are always full and having garbage
poured all over it and covering the area surrounded by it. Which causes a lot of health problems

4. and also ruins the image of the country. And the government claims that the residents do not
throw the garbage in the garbage bins, and residents accuse the garbage companies that they
don't do their jobs correctly. Moreover the government recruits a lot of garbage men for cleaning
the streets and they don't do anything but begging, so they are another further obligation on the
country which could be allocated in a better place. There are a lot of health hazards that are
associated with the pollution caused by the garbage acclimation in the streets. Garbage build up
causes the development of infections and diseases if not treated quickly lead to death. The main
diseases caused by garbage are Gastrointestinal, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea, cholera,
skin diseases and respiratory allergies. These diseases are frequent in people who are in places
where there is very close accumulation of garbage. Also if you are in contact with animals that
are so near a dumpster we have to be careful not to take hygienic measures become contaminated
with diseases. The problem does not concern volumes of garbage only, but also it includes
collection, transportation and sorting huge costs and time. The amount of garbage generated
55,000 ton per day. These developments increased waste dispersion in the streets, rates of
pollution and the image of the country is deteriorating in addition to congestion of the traffic
caused by the accumulation of garbage. Finally, people are paying a lot to have their garbage
removed, but they are not receiving any service, and they deserve to have their money allocated
in the right places.
6. Proposed Solution
As for the problem of garbage and since the population in our country keeps on increasing year
by year, the garbage keeps accumulating and the volumes of garbage increased. This
accumulation doesn't happen only in landfills but also in the streets everywhere we go. This
problem should be dealt with to help solve the problem or at least stop it from growing as the
population increases. One of the solutions to this problem is to try decreasing the volume of
garbage, this could be done by compacting the garbage. and luckily a reasonable volume of
garbage can be compressed as most of the its components has good compressibility.
We thought about designing a machine that can compress the garbage as a whole. This machine
can be used in a lot of places and applications. The machine could be used in hospitals, hotels,
and stores to decrease the volume of garbage produced so this will decrease their costs. This
machine will be user friendly as anyone could deal with it, it can be used in residential areas or
compounds. The machine will operate once the garbage enters and will be safe for use. Also the
machine will be portable and can move so that it can be used at its maximum utilization, so it
would be applicable if an organization wants to a few units of this machine and move it between
areas of use this. Moreover there will be handling equipment to handle the compressed garbage if
they want to move them from one place to another. Finally this proposed solution would help to
solve the problem of garbage acclimation and will decrease the costs of garbage disposal. Also it
will be safe for use and user friendly so any one could deal with it.

5. 7. Relevance of Study
Actually that was the main reason of the trash compactor, but it turned out to have more
advantages such as saving space in the streets because one of these trashes can replace many of
the normal ones. And it will help give the spirit and motivation to begin solving the problem of
garbage as it will introduce to people the culture of separating garbage which is going to be
useful to us as a country in the future. As not only the people will be motivated when they see
the positive effect of the idea, but also the government too. Trash compactors are probably the
most underrated equipment for businesses, so not everyone understands why they should use
one. Here are the greatest benefits of using trash compactors in conjunction with a complete
waste disposal system. Compacting your trash helps save space, and this translates into money
saved on hauling costs. By compacting your loose trash into a smaller volume, you can dispose
of anywhere from 50%-90% more trash per pickup, lowering the number of waste hauling visits.
This is a tremendous opportunity to reduce a necessary business expense. Loose trash is a
sanitation problem, releasing unpleasant odors and inviting unwanted pests. This can be
especially problematic for owners of restaurants, malls, hotels, and apartment complexes. Trash
compactors also keep your trash securely confined, which is much cleaner, neater, and safer than
trash bins that can overflow with garbage. When the volume of the garbage decreases, it would
be handled easier as it will have a compact size. This will save a lot of time and effort, which are
very important to consider in our daily life. This could decrease the number of workers in the
handling process, and the handling time will decrease a lot. Moreover it's better from the
ergonomic point of view as the volume would decrease causing the worker to handle the trash
bags with more ease. Also if the trash compacting idea was generalized among the country level,
it will help collecting the garbage from lower and medium standard areas where the streets are
narrow. And in the actual situation the garbage collectors have to handle the bags manually or
with means of transportation because the huge garbage trucks can't enter these areas. and
apparently these areas produce large amount of garbage daily which needs to be dealt with in a
effective and hygienic manner . And due to the compaction the garbage bins will be filled with
higher volumes thus the need to empty the garbage bins will decrease and the rate of picks will
decrease so it will save a lot of fuel since the garbage collection truck will pass by to pick the
garbage less times, moreover these truck will decrease the distance travelled in a given period of
time so these trucks will be in a better situation and will need maintenance over a wider range of
time. also the need of buying new trucks will decrease as trucks will last longer and the available
trucks will do the job with less numbered fleet Today's companies are expected to be green, and
a comprehensive waste disposal system helps your business recycle more while saving space in
landfills. Most recyclables are usually empty containers like plastic bottles and cardboard boxes.
Saving these items for recycling takes up space, but by compacting them, recycling goals that
make more of an impact are attainable. Commercial trash compactors are used by a wide range
of businesses from property developers to shopping centers and restaurants. Smaller versions
have even become popular for many homeowners. They are easy to use and help improve

7. ANSWERS TO FAQS
How much sunlight is needed?
The compactor needs no direct sunlight. It
runs on a 12-Volt battery that is kept
charged by its solar panel on sunny or
cloudy days. The battery provides a power
reserve for several weeks, so it performs
well even in northern latitudes.
Do the bags get too heavy?
Customers have not had problems with bag
weight. We have designed the Compactor to
be simple and ergonomically friendly to
use. Weight can also be controlled using a
5-position switch.
Is the machine safe to use?
Yes. The hopper prevents hands from
reaching the compaction area, and the unit
locks. The motor will not operate with the
door open. The machine also runs on a
safe, low voltage.
Does holding compacted
trash create odor problems?
No. The Compactor is an enclosed
system, so odors are contained
inside. Customers have reported
improved odor control compared to
open-air cans.
Is it expensive?
While more expensive than a regular
trash can, the Compactor reduces
collection requirements 4 times or
more, saving thousands over its
lifetime. Contact us for a custom
