When I bought my house it had a garbage compactor in it... I loved it... 1 bag (usually not even full) a week to deal with.... Wife decided she didn’t like it and took it out... now I have to deal with bags that overflow 64 gallon bin most weeks. I know it will be compacted in the truck and back at the dump... but garbage volume is really miniscule once its compacted. We are a house of 4 and compacted, a typical week, talking no more than a few cubic feet of waste.
We’re building a house in a SC county that doesn’t offer garbage collection. You carry your garbage to a collection/recycle yard...which, luckily, is relatively close. There will be a garbage compactor in the kitchen, for sure. The biggest, baddest one I can find.
