ABSTRACT:
This is a waste collection system from individual homes by use of a divided garbage can, cantilvered from a mobile supporter which is rolled to curbside and secured to in-ground anchors. A divided collecting device (hereafter called "CD") is suspended on the side of a garbage truck. The moving truck passes the CD beneath the can. Both the can and CD have guides to align themselves with one another. The CD has a mechanism that when touched by the can, causes its top to slide open. The CD engages targets that project downward from beneath the can. It pushes the targets and thereby slides the can's bottom open. It simultaneously compresses a spring beneath the can. Garbage falls from both compartments of the can onto the divided CD. The truck continues to move, the targets disengage, the compressed spring is released and closes the bottom of the can. The top of the CD closes and a sweeper inside the CD stradling the divider rams the garbage backward onto a closed pan. A revolving sweeper within the pan turns the garbage 90 degrees onto a secondary conveyor (hereafter called "SC"). The SC and attached devices are mounted on the back of the truck. A sweeper pulls the garbage through the SC where it falls through chutes into the truck's enclosed hopper. When the CD and attached devices are not being used, they may be hoisted to the top of the truck or otherwise stored.
