Abstract

The invention is generally applicable to a waste compactor. More specifically, the invention is applicable to a waste compactor including a secondary fill door that allows the operator to fill the waste compactor without cycling the waste compactor to conserve energy, increase the life expectancy of the compactor, reduce the number of compaction cycles that may be necessary to compact the contents of the container and/or permit loading of the waste compactor even when the waste compactor is inoperable.
