ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a system for transportation of materials such as industrial wastes from a source thereof to a temporary storage and/or a permanent disposal site or the like, utilizing batch containers of maximum space-saving configurations and taking advantage of the fact that such waste materials invariably densify volume-wise during handling such as during transit from the source to the storage facility. The containers of the invention are of temporarily shape-competent fiberboard type construction or the like; but are in any case fabricated of material which is moisture-vulnerable, whereby subsequent to transport and disposal thereof they soften down and allow the contents of contiguous containers to spread out and settle down and thereby close any previously existing empty spaces therebetween. Thus, the volume of the storage or depository site may be more efficiently employed; and in the case of a landfill operation it may be "completed" after a relatively short time lapse without prospect of subsequent surface subsidence problems because the burial/storage site includes no empty spaces.
