True, and true; on the latter if you use a lot of glass you can really
have a fun time trying to get that squished bag out of the container;
my father insisted that we put glass into a separate container.  Also,
you dasn't put greasy things in the trash compactor, because the grease
sticks to the plunger and after a very few days can start to smell
\real/ interesting.  I personally think that they are a nuisance because
of the above-mentioned items, because they are hard to get to to throw
something away quickly, and because I live in an apartment complex with
a convenient dumpster  :-)
