ABSTRACT:
A refuse compacting mechanism is provided in the container of a refuse wagon. The mechanism includes a series of bars transversely oriented on the floor of the container and a pusher mechanism at the rear of the container. Uncompacted refuse falls into the container rearwardly of the bars and is pushed toward and compacted against the rearmost bar by the pusher mechanism. As additional refuse is added and compacted, the previously compacted mass topples forwardly over the rearmost bar to be further compacted against the next bar. Preferrably, the bars are connected to endless chains and may be moved rearwardly in unison to aid in unloading compacted refuse from the container.
