Abstract: A mobile trash pulverizer for shredding, redistributing and compacting trash in an open top container, includes a self-propelled vehicle for travel on a public street or highway between a plurality of remote sites having open top containers containing trash to be pulverized. A pivot arm system carried by the vehicle supports and moves a reversibly rotatable, generally cylindrical, heavy pulverizing roller between a transport orientation, wherein the roller is on the vehicle with the weight of the roller being substantially borne by the vehicle, and a use orientation, wherein the roller is in a container with the weight of the roller being substantially borne by the container. Rotation of the roller causes it to move along the interior length of the container and thereby shred, redistribute and compact trash therein.

Abstract: A container for the receipt, storage and discharge of compacted waste has a housing defining an interior surface formed by a pair of opposed lateral sides and an opposed top and bottom connecting the sides. The housing has opposed input and output ends, the input end including a connector for interconnecting with a waste compactor, and the output end including a door for temporarily closing the output end. The lateral sides form interior surface portions tapering outwardly from the input end to the output end.
