ABSTRACT:
A trash container with a bustle and a bustle actuator is removeably carried on a vehicle with a tiltable chassis. The container has a generally box like configuration and a moveably trash compacting side pivotally connected to the container. The vehicle chassis has a pivotally mounted compactor arm adapted to cooperate with the pivotally moveable compacting side of the trash container such that the compactor arm alternately opens and closes the moveable side of the container for compacting trash therein. A ledge structure on the vehicle chassis supports the pivotal axis of the moveable side of the container in co-axial alignment with the pivotal axis of the compactor arm. The container is moved on and off of the chassis by tilting the chassis and connecting the compactor arm to the container by a chain. A crusher is pivotally mounted on the trash container to force trash downwardly into the container. Inclined racks are provided for supporting the containers when they are not on a vehicle. A haul truck with a tiltable container support portion is adapted to carry a plurality of the containers.
