A kitchen compactor for the crushing of trash and other disposable wastes is disclosed. The compactor employs a hydraulic cylinder and piston assembly which is controlled by a control means that causes water from the household water supply to flow into the hydraulic cylinder. The water pressure produces motion of the piston which activates a lever arm upon which a pressing platen is mounted. The movement of the lever arm causes the pressing platen to enter into or withdraw from a waste container. When the pressing platen enters the waste container, the waste contained therein is compressed into a small bale or package of considerably smaller volume for easier disposal.
