ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for compacting refuse providing an ability to compact refuse in a drum or in a bag or providing for the compaction of drums themselves which are unwanted. The apparatus provides a supportive frame having a platform on the frame upon which a drum or bag can be supported at its bottom. A provided jacket assembly can be opened for placement about the drum or bag, the jacket after closure supporting the drum or bag about its sides during compaction. A hydraulic ram having an attached compacting disk is supported vertically above the support platform and during operation compacts refuse within the jacket and in the drum or bag as desired maximizing the quantity of trash contained within a particular drum or bag for later disposal. During the compacting operation, a drum or bag is supported on its bottom by the platform on its side by the jacket and the trash is compacted from above by the compaction disk. When a bag is used, the jacket assembly supports compaction. By leaving the lid on a drum (as e.g. a 55 gallon oil drum) the drum itself can be crushed for disposal as scrap. An enlarged compacting disk or an enlarged adapter for the stock compacting disk could alternatively be provided if drums are to be crushed, the crushing of drums being of particular utility on oil and gas drilling platforms where drums are plentiful and space is at a premium.
