Abstract
A charcoal filter system for a trash comparator includes a charcoal filter snap-fit to a first face of a mounting cover and a fan snap-fit to a second, opposite face of a mounting cover. The filter system is mounted in an opening formed on a front wall of a frame of the trash compactor without requiring the use of tools. A cabinet having a front wall with an opening aligned with the opening in the frame for the filter system includes a faceplate diverter snap-fit therein to direct air to the filter system from a trash receptacle mounted in openings in the frame and cabinet below the filter system.
