The invention relates to an improved method of compacting waste for the purpose of allowing this process to be implemented continuously. To this end, the waste to be compacted is supplied alternately on the one side and on the other side of a displacement member (4) which is reciprocating underneath the supply opening (13) of the compacting space, so that the displacement member (4) compresses the waste towards both sides in the compacting space. The invention furthermore relates to an apparatus for implementing the method, which apparatus consists of a box-like housing (1) which encloses a compacting space which houses in a close fit a reciprocating displacement member (4) and which comprises a supply opening (13) in a wall of the housing for supplying the waste to be compacted to the compacting space, the displacement member (4) being located in the central area of the compacting space, in such a way as allow compression of the waste to be compacted to take place on both sides of the displacement member. |
