Abstract
A process for recycling household waste, garbage or trash into useful articles including in one preferred embodiment the steps of collecting the waste material, feeding the waste material into a pulverizer to convert the material to a powdery mass, adding water to the mass to form a slurry, adding a binder to the slurry to inhibit bacteriological growth, pouring or otherwise forming the slurry into a useful shape such as a block, or sheet, and allowing the formed shape to air dry under relatively low humidity. The resulting useful article may then be used as a building block, wall board, ceiling tile and so on. In an alternative example, the binder is added directly to the pulverized waste material to produce a useful article such as a flexible roof shingle.
