Abstract
A waste loading device for loading waste/recyclables into a container includes a base portion positionable at a loading station, a loading tube extending from the base portion and a pushing member. The loading tube has a discharge end and is configured to be received in a container positioned at the waste/recyclables loading device such that the discharge end is substantially within the container. The discharge end is at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the loading tube. The pushing member is movable along the loading tube to push waste along the loading tube to the discharge end and into the container. The discharge opening at the discharge end opens generally downwardly. The loading tube may extend approximately eight feet or more into the container when the container is positioned at the loading device.
