A mobile or stationary apparatus receives refuse in a bin or a chute. The refuse is consolidated by a first moveable shell into a transfer station of generally cylindrical shape. The member serves as a guide as the consolidated refuse is pushed by a compactor ram from the transfer station into a compactor chamber in a bagging station by a transfer actuator which, while transferring the refuse, compacts and crushes it. The bagging station includes a moveable piston against which the refuse is compacted and crushed. Then the baggage station is moved out-of-line with the transfer/compactor ram to a position where a fabric-coated impermeable bag is be installed over an open end of the bagging station. An ejector ram in the bagging station is operated to drive the cylindrical block of compacted refuse into the bag. The bag is sealed snugly around the refuse block and ready for delivery to the dumping site. The bag material is designed to permanently encase the compacted refuse block forever. When delivered to the dumping site, the bagged block units may be buried or may be stacked at ground surface for observation over a period of time to determine if any leakage exists, before burying or covering them with fill dirt.
