ABSTRACT:
A materials disposal system comprising a relatively large, open-top container adapted to be removably coupled to the forks or blades of a front-end loading vehicle. Thus, the vehicle can be used either with or without the container releasably attached thereto. A work bucket is to be picked up at a number of spaced locations along a street. Each work bucket is to be shifted relative to a holder arm having a flexible strap which is to be shiftably mounted on the container. The strap is moved from a position adjacent to and free of the work bucket to a position partially embracing and engaging the work bucket. The holder arm coupled to the strap is then swung up into a dumping position from which it dumps materials from the work bucket into the open top of the container. The arm returns to its initial position to return the work bucket to the ground. Then, the vehicle advances to the next work bucket where it picks up the next work bucket. This continues until all of the work buckets have been emptied.
