ABSTRACT:
A multi-compartment vehicle body for collecting, packing, hauling and unloading refuse material including recyclable materials is disclosed, including a truck body enclosing a material-receiving volume which includes a horizontal wall within the volume which divides the volume into separate upper and lower storage body compartments. A longitudinally-spaced loading opening at the top of the body contains separate openings being in continuous communication each with one of the separate compartments. Preferably, non-recyclable refuse is stored in the lower compartment. The truck body includes a primary compacting system associated with one of said compartments for compacting non-recyclable materials and an auxiliary compacting system linked to the primary compacting system for compacting recyclable materials. The auxiliary compacting system includes a device for limiting the force of compaction against the recyclable material such that it will not exceed a predetermined maximum regardless of the force applied to the non-recyclable refuse material. Embodiments of up to six separate longitudinal compartments are illustrated.
