ABSTRACT:
A collection and compacting apparatus for cardboard refuse such as flat pieces of cardboard and broken down or collapsed cardboard boxes and a uniquely shaped coil of flexible lashing for use with the apparatus for bundling the cardboard refuse. The apparatus, preferably wall mounted, includes a rigid support frame which defines a stationary upright surface and a lower horizontal support surface extending from a lower portion or margin of the stationary surface. A movable platen defines a flat cardboard refuse crushing surface and is pivotally connected at a lower end thereof to the horizontal support surface about an axis spaced from and parallel to the stationary surface. After the storage space defined by, and lying within, the stationary and crushing surfaces and the horizontal support surface is filled with cardboard refuse gathered in upright side-by-side orientation and supported edgewise atop the horizontal support surface, the movable platen is manually forcibly pivoted from its inclined collection position wherein the upper margin of the platen is further from the stationary surface than is the pivot axis to a generally upright compaction position. While the platen is held in this compaction position, either manually or by a releasible retainer, the compressed cardboard may be lashed into a bundle. Two coils of preferably uniquely shaped flexible lashing material or twine are positioned within the support frame behind the stationary surface to facilitate expedient bundling.,
