A receiving assembly for a solid waste disposal system is provided. The assembly includes a pit defined by vertical side walls and having an upper opening. An upwardly inclined receiving conveyor is positioned within the pit. An infeed conveyor includes a first end positioned beneath the discharge end of the receiving conveyor such that solid waste material is dropped by the receiving conveyor onto the infeed conveyor. A heavy curtain is suspended above the discharge end of the receiving conveyor for controlling the fall of the solid waste material onto the infeed conveyor. A second curtain is positioned between the conveyors to prevent material from falling therebetween. The infeed conveyor is operated at about twice the speed of the receiving conveyor.
