Waste is a serious problem, especially household waste. Therefore, an idea was developed to overcome the existing household waste problem in the form of a trash compactor. This research proposes on designing the trash compactor using a double lead screw mechanism. The trash compactor uses an electric motor for its driving force and a set of gearboxes for speed reduction. The trash compactor was designed, modelled, and simulated by using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2022. The simulation is based on a static simulation. The results show that the design of lead screw, frame, ram, and connector beam size has overcome the 20000N of trash compactor capacity are according to the material strength and displacement for each components with safety factor more than 1.4. The trash compactor has a total capacity of 245.76 liter.
