  • Patent number: 5813323
    Abstract: A plurality of bins are configured to be removably positioned on a platform within a housing. A first opening in the housing is positioned above the bins. A second opening in the housing is configured to permit the bins to be removed there-through. The platform is configured to rotate a selected one of the bins into position adjacent the first opening and the second opening simultaneously, such that waste can be transferred through the first opening into the selected one of the bins, and such that the selected one of the bins can be removed through the second opening. The platform is further configured to rotate a chosen one of the bins into position adjacent a compacting apparatus such that the compacting apparatus can compact waste within the chosen one of the bins. When travel of an arm of the compacting apparatus into the bin is less than a pre-determined distance, an indicator indicates that the bin is full.
