Compressor

Production:

To compress the rubbish in the bin, so as to make more space and give way for more rubbish to be thrown in.

​

Problems solved:

The dustbin does not have to be cleared frequently.

​People do not have to use their feet to compress the rubbish, and doing so is also very unhygienic.
