ABSTRACT:
A litter control assembly for use with a refuse collection vehicle including a drive vehicle having a collection box removably mounted thereon. The litter control assembly comprises a pair of upstanding screen members which extend upwardly from opposite sides of the collection opening in the upper forward end of the refuse collection box. A flexible sheet member is secured to the refuse collection box rearwardly of the collection opening and is secured to the upper rearward ends of the screens to prevent litter from blowing rearwardly therebetween. A crusher panel is pivotally mounted on the vehicle and is positioned between the forward ends of the screen members. Elongated flexible whiskers are secured to the upper ends of the screen members and extend inwardly over the collection opening. A plurality of elongated flexible whiskers are also secured to the upper end of the crusher panel and extend inwardly over the forward end of the opening formed in the collection box. The whiskers substantially cover the collection opening in the collection box to prevent litter from blowing out of the box during the collection or transfer of the refuse. The flexible characteristics of the whiskers permit a refuse container to be lowered downwardly therethrough during the collection of refuse.
