An apparatus for packing separated materials includes a material receiving container having at least one horizontal longitudinally extending partition subdividing the container into upper and lower compartments. The container is provided with a packing device for simultaneously compacting the materials in the upper and lower compartments. The packing device includes a lower packer blade mounted to lower swing arms that are pivotally mounted for pendular movement toward and away from the rear end of the container, to compact the materials in the lower compartment, an upper packer blade mounted to upper swing arms that are pivotally mounted for pendular movement toward and away from the rear end of the container, to compact the materials in the upper compartment, and swing links pivotally connecting the upper and lower swing arms so that the upper and lower packer blades move simultaneously.
