Abstract: A loading and compacting method and device for the trash container of a trash-collecting vehicle and a working method for such, wherein the trash container has a rear fill opening. The loading and compacting device has a loading bin coupled to the trash container on the back and a press plate, which is mounted on its upper end on an axis transverse to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle that can swivel in the back part in a swivel bearing, which can move parallel to the plane of the fill opening, plus a cleaning plate which is also mounted on an axis transverse to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and can swivel on the free end of the press plate, and a first force element to swivel the press plate. The goal is to provide a loading and compacting device with a large load volume, a high compacting capacity, optimal loading and the least possible stress on the trash container structure.
