<p>The present invention relates to the processing of low density materials, in particular, to the processing of low density waste paper, such as shredded paper. There is described a method of distributing and compacting a material within a container (13) the method comprising providing a flow of air to distribute a flow of the material into the container (13) and a providing a compactor element (20) above the floor (14) of the container (13) the compactor element (20) being adapted to move generally vertically between an un-extended position and an extended position in which the compactor element (20) is closer to the floor (14) of the container (13). Also describe is an apparatus (10) to implement this method with a container (13) for a material, and a collection system for collecting waste material using the method and apparatus (10). <IMAGE></p> |
