Abstract
A versatile waste disposal apparatus for separating and disposing the liquid waste from vacuum cleaning of soiled carpets. The air, liquid and accumulated dirt in a mixture from a conventional vacuum cleaner are separated in one large tank, and the filtered liquid is passed on either to an integrated or non-integrated smaller tank with cutoff, air venting, and pump controls. The filtered liquid is ultimately passed on to a wastewater system so that the tanks are empty after use. The waste disposal apparatus can be integrated with a dwelling's central vacuuming system and operated on house current. The apparatus can be installed in a vehicle and powered by the vehicle's battery.
