ABSTRACT:
A trash pick-up and collection apparatus includes a rotary drum assembly with a plurality of spikes to impale and pick-up the trash along a path to be cleared. A continuous chain mechanism wrapped around the drum assembly lifts, strips and carries the trash to a collection bin. The drum assembly includes a plurality of sections in the direction of the longitudinal axis to allow ease of movement in a turn. The drum is formed of elongated plates extending in the longitudinal direction and each mounts a series of spikes. The chain mechanism preferably includes a plurality of flattened chains that lift the trash from underneath and carry it to the collection bin. An idler roller positioned adjacent the collection bin forms the delivery and return run of the chains. The entire apparatus may be lifted over obstacles and moved along paved roads by wheels that are hydraulically moved to and from an operative position. The trash is deposited directly into plastic bags through an opening in the side of the collection bin. Glass items are manually picked-up by the operator before reaching the drum assembly.
