(54)	A compactor with collection bag

(57) This invention relates to a compactor (1) comprising a compacting chamber (3) having a charging inlet (7) and a discharge outlet (9). The compactor (1) is provided with a flexible bag (13, 71, 81, 91, 120) for reception of compacted material. There is further provided a fastener to firmly attach the flexible bag to the compactor thereby forming a stable connection between the charging mouth of the bag and the discharge outlet of the compactor (1) allowing materials to be compacted in the flexible bag. The flexible bag is provided with a neck portion that facilitates attachment of the flexible bag (13, 71, 81, 91, 120) to the compactor (1). The bag may have a self-sealing neck to permit various orientations of the bag without escape of materials when the bag is being changed.
