A domestic refuse compactor in which there is a powered ram reciprocated within a housing vertically in a receptacle therein for the refuse, and the ram reversal for withdrawal is controlled by either advance to a predetermined distance above the receptacle bottom or development of a given compaction force in reaction to the advance. The receptacle is laterally movable to and from the housing by a positioning carriage, with non-rigid latching of the latter in the inner position to receive the ram for slight outward yielding during compaction. A deodorizing spray is provided by a front mounted spray can, a manually operated solenoid actuator, and a spray directing fixture which causes the spray to be discharged inwardly and to the rear for injection into the receptacle while in its inner storage and compacting position.
