ABSTRACT:
A waste management system for handling both solid and human waste consisting of a trailer with a hitch arrangement for connection to a towing vehicle. The trailer preferably includes tandem axles that support a trailer frame whereto a trash collecting bin is pivotally mounted, with that bin to tilt so as to dump rearwardly. The pivoting trash bin is maintained in an upright attitude to receive trash through a top thereof, and will gravity dump, when released, and further includes a linkage that is operated to move a friction wheel into engagement with one of the trailer wheels for turning a take-up drum. The take-up drum, when turned, to reel in a cable that is passed through a take-up pulley is secured between the trash bin, and the trailer frame. By operating the linkage, trailer forward travel will provide for pivoting the trash bin back to an upright attitude. The invention also includes one or a pair of chemical toilets that are releasably maintained onto the trailer bed, forward of the pivoting trash bin. The chemical toilets are essentially conventional except that are arranged to gravity drain through a common line. A railing is provided around the trailer nose end that is open above a folding step for use by a person climbing the trailer bed.
