A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body, a power source, and a tailgate. The chassis is coupled to a plurality of wheels. The body assembly is coupled to the chassis and defines a refuse compartment configured to store refuse material. The tailgate comprises a refuse receiving portion, a tailgate compaction assembly, and an electrically-driven actuation mechanism. The refuse receiving portion is configured to receive refuse material. The tailgate compaction assembly is selectively actuatable to compact the refuse material received by the refuse receiving portion into the refuse compartment. The electrically-driven actuation mechanism is powered by the power source and is configured to selectively actuate the tailgate compaction assembly.

The tailgate comprises a refuse receiving portion, a thresher assembly, and an electrically driven actuation mechanism. The refuse receiving portion is configured to receive refuse material. The thresher assembly includes a compaction thresher including a plurality of tines and a plurality of tine springs configured to bias the plurality of tines in a direction of compaction. The plurality of tine springs are each disposed around a corresponding tine of the plurality of tines. The electrically driven actuation mechanism is configured to selectively actuate the thresher assembly.

An item of equipment for separating bagged waste has a hopper, separation means for separating the waste, a scanner for classifying the waste, elements for opening the bagged waste, chutes with gates, classification means, an artificial vision camera, and a plurality of shredders. Thus, the shredders are able to shred the waste subsequent to the classification thereof by type of polymer and color, thanks to the artificial vision camera. The equipment enables the individual separation of the bagged waste for the subsequent treatment thereof, as frequently some bags of waste are adhered to others.

This invention includes embodiments which disclose a collection and delivery vehicle with a cab portion, a chassis and a container box. The container box includes a lift mechanism, a material storage area which may include multiple individual storage areas, some dual use, and a conveyor, auger or other desirable material handling mechanism to receive the material from bins and move it to the material storage area and/or storage containers from above.

A vehicle mounted apparatus for cleaning a waste container includes a movable carriage assembly that grasps a waste bin and inverts the waste bin over an air nozzle to discharge waste into a waste compartment, and inverts the waste bin over a spray head that washes down the interior of the bin.

A material removal system includes a collection conduit having a distal end that is positionable adjacent particulate material. A primary particle separator system connected to the collection conduit separates quantities of particulate material entrained in an air stream. A secondary particle separator system connected to an outlet of the primary particle separator system separates additional quantities of particulate material entrained in an air stream exiting the primary particle separator system. An air pump connected to an outlet of the secondary particle separator system creates an airflow through the collection conduit and the primary and secondary particle separator systems. A conveyor system operatively associated with material discharge ports of the primary and secondary particle separator systems collects separated particulate material from the material discharge ports of the primary and secondary particle separator systems and transports the separated particulate material to a material discharge end of the conveyor system.
