Abstract
In the disclosed method, garbage is first compacted into blocks which are then inserted into a container having a closable opening and a filling space of predetermined length and also having a predetermined permissible load capacity. Pursuant to the invention, weighed quantities of garbage are compacted into blocks of substantially the same density, whereby the length of the individual blocks is dependent on the nature of the garbage. The compacted blocks of substantially the same densities are inserted into the container until the insertion of an additional compacted block would exceed the permissible load capacity and/or the filling length of the container. In this manner, maximum use of the container space and its load capacity are made without overloading the container or creating hazards during the container's subsequent transportation to a disposal area. The container is closed after the last block has been inserted. The inventive method may be electronically controlled, for example, by computer.
