A device for manually compacting waste, including a support plate and left-hand and right-hand lateral uprights secured to the support plate and delimiting a central space to accept a waste container. The device also includes a left-hand lever fixed pivotingly to the left-hand lateral upright about a pivot axis, and a right-hand lever fixed pivotingly to the right-hand lateral upright about a pivot axis, with the pivot axes arranged parallel to one another. The device further includes a thrust bar having a lower end fixed to a compression plate and connected to the left-hand and/or right-hand lever by a connector capable of sliding along the left-hand and/or right-hand lever to act on the thrust bar under lever action so as to move toward/away from the ground to allow the compression plate to be brought closer to and respectively further away from the support plate from a position of equilibrium.
