Michael Petruccelli asks; What can I do to help keep my Trash Compactor in good working order?

Michael Petruccelli says; Help prevent odors by replacing the deodorant supply regularly based on the amount of usage. Before running, make sure the bag is properly positioned and secured. Check to make sure when placing garbage in compactor there are no metal or hard pieces of trash that could jam the drawer closure. Wipe out as often as you feel necessary with baking soda or diluted soap & water solution. Help the environment sort your trash & recycle what ever you can before disposing of trash in compactor.
