A system for storing recyclable containers, such as used food or beverage containers, including a storage for housing recyclable containers, the storage having a set of inner surfaces which defines a storage volume for the recyclable containers; a transporting channel, the transporting channel including an inlet port and an outlet port, wherein the inlet port is arranged to receive compressed and/or uncompressed recyclable containers, and the outlet port being arranged in at least one of the inner surfaces in the set of inner surfaces, a force feeding transporting mechanism configured to transport transfer at least one recyclable container through the transporting channel, and into the storage volume via the outlet port, a centre axis of the outlet port of the transporting channel is directed upwards from the horizontal plane at an angle, the angle being within the range of 15° and 85° at the outlet port of the transporting channel.

An improved dustbin moving vehicle includes a rod body. A first positioning member is arranged on the rod body; the rod body is movably connected with a positioning rod; a second positioning member is arranged on the positioning rod; the rod body is movably connected with a pull rod; a supporting rod is arranged on the rod body; and a bottom of the supporting rod is provided with a wheel. The improved dustbin moving vehicle is simple in structure and convenient to use. During use, the pull rod and the positioning rod are unfolded; the first positioning member and the second positioning member on the positioning rod are hooked or clamped on a dustbin to fix the dustbin; and the pull rod is then pushed and pulled, so that the dustbin is convenient to move.

A recycling method is disclosed that includes the steps of compacting recyclable material into a fixed bale of recyclable material while concurrently weighing the OCC in the compactor and independently of the force that the compactor applies to the material or to the bale, assigning an individual identifier to the fixed bale in which the identifier includes at least the weight of the bale, and sending the fixed identified bale to a destination selected from the group consisting of shippers, mills, rebalers, or a customers for the baled recyclable material. Also, devices and methods are disclosed for upgrading existing or new balers to enable them to perform at least some portions of the improved recycling methods. Example devices include baler-mounted load-cell weight sensors and U-shaped anchor plates for securing them in place in a free-floating arrangement.

A loading frame includes a base and two walls arranged on opposite sides of the base. The walls are flexible and are arranged to permit movement, preferably sliding, between the wall and the load space's side, the wall being supported on the side. A system and a method for loading articles utilize the loading frame.

A building container outrigger to provide an elevated work space or debris removal for use between concrete slabs of a building under construction having a container, a plurality of support beams, each support beam positioned lengthwise under the floor of the container and extend therefrom the sides, a pair of spaced apart outrigger beams, a first outrigger end and a second outrigger end, each second outrigger end in contact with and affixed to the upper side of each support beam end, the other outrigger beam end removeably anchored to the slab floor with the front edge of the container flush with the exterior or front slab edge, and, thus, functions to efficiently move or remove materials and tools or personnel space from floor to floor as construction phases move vertically.

A nylon fabric funnel with a diameter of approximately 15 inches at the upper inlet opening, having an elastic band encased in the nylon, with a stretchability factor of approximately 0%-30%, a length of approximately 24 inches, and a diameter of approximately 12.5 inches at the lower non-elasticized discharge opening of the funnel, adapted for secure attachment to a paper shredder waste bin. The lower non-elasticized discharge end of the funnel is placed in a second receptacle, hanging freely, allowing for controlled flow of the shredded paper from a paper shredder waste bin to the second receptacle. A nylon fabric storage bag with dimensions of 9 inches wide by 10 inches long and 2 inches deep, configured to house the funnel securely, via Velcro strips, adapted to allow for bag closure, as well as attachment of the storage bag to the outside casing of the paper shredder machine, when the funnel is not in use.

A container packer system includes a transfer base, which receives a container packer adapted for movement longitudinally between retracted and extended positions with respect to the transfer base. The transfer base includes a power subsystem with a motor or engine driving a hydraulic pump for powering hydraulic piston-and-cylinder units of the system, including a container packer piston-and-cylinder unit for hydraulically extending and retracting the container packer. The container packer generally encloses an interior adapted for receiving bulk material for transfer to a transport container, which can comprise a standard shipping container, a trailer or some other bulk material receptacle. The container packer includes a push blade assembly longitudinally movably mounted in its interior and actuated by a push blade piston-and-cylinder unit.

An automated waste collection has a housing, within which is disposed a deployment mechanism for receiving a waste bin. The waste bin may be placed onto the deployment mechanism through an access opening traversing through the housing and selectively obstructed by an access closure. Waste may be deposited within the waste bin through a lid opening at a top of the housing. The deployment mechanism may be displaced by a deployment actuator between a stored position within the housing and a deployed position external to the housing. In order to do so, the deployment mechanism traverses through a deployment opening selectively obstructed by a deployment closure. A controller operates according to a predetermined waste collection schedule, actuating the deployment actuator at any scheduled waste collection times.
