ABSTRACT:
A waste compacting apparatus is provided for compacting waste in a disposal barrel, and includes a frame on which a ram assembly is supported. The apparatus also includes a movable pallet for supporting the disposal barrel for movement through an opening in the frame between a compacting position in which the disposal barrel is aligned with a ram of the ram assembly, and a handling position outside the frame in which the disposal barrel is accessible for handling. The pallet includes a base plate on which the disposal barrel sits, and the base plate overlies a base of the frame in the compacting position so that the base plate and disposal barrel are supported on the base during compaction of the waste by the ram. A method of collecting and compacting waste in a disposal barrel is also provided, and includes the steps of collecting waste in a collection barrel, and moving the collection barrel onto a dumping apparatus. Waste from the collection barrel is dumped into the disposal barrel by pivoting a platform of the apparatus on which the collection barrel is supported. The disposal barrel is supported on a movable pallet, and is moved into the compacting apparatus when full of waste. Thereafter, the waste is compacted and the pallet is removed from the compacting apparatus so that additional uncompacted waste can be dumped into the disposal barrel. These steps are repeated until the disposal barrel is filled with compacted waste and prepared for disposal.
