METHOD AND DELIVERY OF COMPACTING MATERIALS

摘要

A method and system for compacting waste materials in a collection container. The container can be a freestanding waste container, a self-container compaction container, or a container on a waste collection vehicle. A hydraulically operated compactor blade is positioned in the raised upper portion of the container with its bottom edge a distance above the floor. A platform with a hinged portion can be included to divide the container volume into two separate compartments in order to collect different types of waste materials.

1. A method for compacting waste materials, said method comprising the steps of:
providing a waste container structure, said structure having two side walls, a front wall and an end wall, a bottom wall and a top wall, and having an opening in the top wall for receiving compactable waste materials; said container having a first distance between the two side walls and a first height between said bottom wall and said top wall; providing a compactor blade inside said structure; said compactor blade having a width substantially the same as said first distance and having a height about 30%-70% of said first height measured from said top wall; providing a mechanism for selectively moving said compactor blade longitudinally in said container; and moving said compactor blade longitudinally in said container to contact and compact a portion of said materials against said first wall; wherein waste materials in said container which are not compacted by said compactor blade settle adjacent said bottom wall of said container.
