A trash-and-garbage-compactor apparatus having a power-driven cam lobe, whereby the circular motion of the cam lobe is transferred into an alternating rectilinear motion for the overriding spring-loaded ram rod. The ram rod includes a first tubular ram-rod member and a second ram-rod member having an overriding spring interposed therebetween, the first ram-rod member operably engaging the cam lobe and the second ram-rod member having a pressure plate attached thereto. The pressure plate is formed to be received in a trash receptacle defined by a drawer slidably mounted to the compactor housing.
