A lug tender includes a conveyor belt-type feed bed having flexible conveyor belts for transporting lugs from a first, feed end, between side guard rails to a hopper or dumping end. At the hopper end, the side rails are omitted so that a grasping mechanism can address the side walls of the lug, grasping same and rotating the lug, inverting the lug over a feed hopper. Fruit carried by the lug is thus deposited in the feed hopper. A guard placed over the feed hopper prevents the lug from entering the feed hopper. A pusher bar displaces the lug across the guard to free up the hopper for the subsequent lug. The emptied lug can then be removed either manually or mechanically for recycling.
