Abstract
The invention relates to a vehicular apparatus for use in handling recycleable material which includes a pair of end-to-end first containers supported on each side of the vehicle and each having a side opening into which such material may be loaded at a place of connection, and a pair of second and larger containers supported on the vehicle above and intermediate the pairs of first containers and each having a top opening to receive material from a first container. Each pair of first containers are adapted to be moved together between their loading positions and unloading positions in which the side opening in each is arranged to dump material therefrom into the top opening in a second container, and each of the second containers is adapted to be moved independently of the other between its loading position and an unloading position in which its top opening is arranged to dump material therefrom onto a place of disposal at the side of the vehicle.
