    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system to collect and encapsulate bulk waste products or salvageable materials for purposes of storage and/or transportation and ultimate disposal. More specifically, the present invention comprises a sealable support structure which is provided with an air intake and exhaust so as to create air flow through said structure and a fitted liner disposed in said structure where said liner is disposed in fluid with said intake and exhaust. The air exhaust is coupled to a positive displacement blower, centrifugal fan or other similar air moving device.
