A high volume refuse compacting apparatus utilizes a commercial horizontal axis ram compactor as a base and upon this unit are mounted in tandem relationship a relatively stationary hopper bin and a coacting power-operated pivotal dumping bin which is elevated to a steep angle to feed the hopper bin with refuse by gravity action. A bottom opening of the hopper bin is in registry with a provided opening in the compactor unit above the ram thereof. Corresponding side walls of the hopper and dumping bins are made shallow to facilitate side loading of the apparatus. A scissoring action of the side walls of the hopper and dumping bins substantially eliminates refuse spillage.
