In a method of stowing waste (W) deposited into a vacuum operated waste collection system (101), wherein deposited waste is introduced through a waste infeed opening (105) in an infeed area (103) of a waste storage tank (102), is stored in a waste collection volume (104) of the tank, is emptied from the tank by vacuum applied to a lower discharge area (109) of the waste collection volume of the tank, assisted by the operation of an emptying screw (108) in a bottom area (106) of the waste collection volume during an emptying phase, and is periodically distributed in distribution sequences (DS) performed during periods outside said emptying phase; the bottom screw (108) is periodically activated at least in a direction for feeding waste in the waste collection volume (104) towards the discharge area (109) during the distribution sequences (DS) and packing and compression of waste in the discharge area during said distribution sequences is prevented by at least partly blocking a transition area between the collection volume of the tank (102) and the discharge area during optional distribution sequences. |
