Abstract: An apparatus that is made integral with, attached to or attachable to machines for compacting and baling materials, particularly waste materials. The apparatus generally has a hopper compartment and a conveying assembly attached to a frame. The hopper compartment receives waste materials therein. The conveying assembly has a motor driven conveyor belt for conveying the waste materials from the hopper to the compactor/baler machine through an opening in the housing of the machine. Preferably, the first end of the frame attaches to the door that is used for removing compacted bales from the machine, thereby becoming integral with the machine, so as to allow the apparatus to pivot or swing to and from the machine with the opening and closing of the door. Wheels on the second end of the frame facilitate movement of the apparatus along the ground.
