Abstract: This waste recycling processing mechanism combines in a self powered unit in a preferred embodiment on a vehicle apparatus that sorts and processes recyclable materials. In another embodiment, this processing mechanism is constructed as a transportable unit that is self contained for road, rail or marine delivery to government, military, industrial, commercial and public sites. This unit may be set up for stationary operation with cruise ships, cargo vessels, and military ships as well as passenger trains and aircraft. This processing mechanism reduces the volume of recyclable waste by factors as high as 20 or more into the most compact forms in separated bins, and is capable of yielding uncontaminated, market-ready recyclable products by operator or by automatic means. Operator safety and comfort with resultant increased efficiency are paramount considerations provided in all units.
