Most modern electric trash compactors feature a visual indicator light or an automatic load-sensing stop that alerts you when the internal drawer has reached maximum capacity. For manual checks, you can open the drawer: if the compressed waste stack sits roughly 3 to 4 inches below the top rim of the drawer housing, it is fully optimized. Forcing more trash in beyond this point risks overflowing the drawer, jamming the mechanism, or making the bag too heavy to lift out safely.
