Abstract
A compactor places baled waste into a shuttle container that is moved along a conveyor system. This shuttle container is then moved to an unloading device, where the compacted trash can be placed into a transfer trailer. The use of the shuttle containers on the conveyor system allows for the compacting and the unloading functions to occur independently. The system is a modular one that can be expanded as required. Shuttle containers on the conveyor system can be stored until a transfer trailer is available.
