ABSTRACTThe waste compactor is a domestic waste management system which has attracted new research attention recently in applications like waste recycling and transportation of domestic wastes, As a sustainable and easy waste management method, It has become a direct substitute for reckless dumping and abandonment of excess waste. The hydraulic pressure waste compaction system is known to be working under the original idea of Newtons pressure law P FA. This project work however, presents an overview of the applications of PFA(Newtons Law of pressure) in a compaction system through hydraulic cylinder, and also analyses the design parameters in order to improve the compression ratio. The aim is to improve its value and enhance its applications in numerous fields such as hospitals, homes, schools and campuses and hence the practical demonstration of the dynamics of compaction to undergraduates. At the end of the project work, it was discovered that the hydraulic compaction system, possessed a great power for compression, capable of producing a 1:4 compression and even more to objects place in its bucket. The machine was also found out to be 75% efficientKeywords: Design, Modification, Waste, Compactor, Waste compactor,Manual 1. INTRODUCTIONThe world today is experiencing a continuous rise in the rate of waste generation and this is often associated with industrial and socioeconomic development. Some of these generated wastes are bio-degradable and will decompose naturally if left for a span of time while others may not fall into that category and in that case, has to be properly disposed or refined for use again through a process called recycling. In any of these cases, a proper management of these waste materials has to be considered. This necessitates a device which can effectively reduce the size of waste materials for waste to be disposed safely (Yerinmearede et al, 2020)
