  • Patent number: 5820143
    Abstract: A recycler trolley has a series of compartments that are serially arranged for housing bins for recyclable items. The compartments are of two types: first compartments having a shelf, and second compartments without any shelf. Each first compartment has an upper compartment above the respective shelf and a lower compartment below the shelf. Bins of a first size fit into each second compartment, and bins of a reduced second size fit into each upper compartment. Each lower compartment is adapted to hold newspapers, cardboard, or similar recyclable flat objects. A string dispenser is positioned above each lower compartment for extending string down-wardly across the entrance of the respective lower compartment. String is automatically dispensed to surround the aggregate of the flat objects in a lower compartment, and such string is tied when the compartment is full so as to facilitate removal of the flat objects.
