In a first aspect the invention provides a method and apparatus for transporting solid waste material, the apparatus comprising: an upstream was te supply means (4); feed means (10) to transport waste from the waste supply means (4) to a pneumatic conveyancing means (9); which pneumatic conveyancin g means (9) comprises a tube (14) within which waste material is transferred from the feed means (10) to a downstream waste collector (22A,22B); wherein said tube (14) is associated with at least one blockage sensing device (30), and electronic dataprocessing means to process data output from the blockage sensing device (30). In a second aspect the invention provides a method and apparatus for transporting solid waste material, the apparatus comprising: a n upstream waste supply means (4); feed means (10) to transport waste from the waste supply means (4) to a pneumatic conveyancing means (9); which pneumati c conveyancing means (9) comprises a tube (14) within which waste is transferr ed from the feed means (10) to a downstream waste collector (22A,22B), wherein the downstream waste collector comprises a level sensing device (24A,24B) to sense the amount of waste accumulated in the downstream waste collector (22A,22B); and electronic data processing means to process data output from the level sensing means (24A,24B).
