ABSTRACT:
A live bottom pit for a solid waste disposal system is disclosed in which an endless device or endless belt-like structure driven by a motor is positioned near the bottom of the pit and extends upward along one side of the pit at an angle in excess of 35 degrees. A plurality of the endless belt-like structure may be provided to cover the entire bottom of the pit. The endless belt-like structure is comprised of a plurality of plates pivotally joined together. The plates are provided with projecting members which slice through a solid waste mass piled thereon. The solid waste is piled to a substantial height on the live bottom. A layer of solid waste is fed from the bottom of the mass of solid waste. Material from the rear of the mass of solid waste is fed first by the endless belt-like structure. The material being piled to a substantial height and the feeding action of the endless belt-like structure causes the mass of solid waste to become packed thereby allowing the pit to hold more solid waste material. Furthermore, the action of the live bottom device causes the solid waste material to be broken up as it is fed for further processing.
