Abstract: A storage bunker for substantially dry and loose material such as shredded paper waste has a receptacle (10) and a conveyor (16,18) feeding material over a fixed plate (14) broken at (21) to permit the material to fall into the receptacle. The return run of conveyor (16) compacts material towards the other end of the receptacle, and the whole mass of material once the receptacle is filled is driven by conveyor (25) towards an outlet, with material being stripped from the mass by an inclined toothed conveyor (26) for collection by a troughed conveyor (28).
