COMPACTION APPARATUS FOR USE WITH LAWN GROOMING EQUIPMENT ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A compaction apparatus for use with lawn grooming equip- ment such as a lawn mower, leaf blower and the like, including a compactor housing having an inlet opening at one end to receive the refuse material picked up from the lawn and a screw conveyor rotatably mounted within the housing to transport and compact the received material as it is advanced through the conveyor housing. Perforations in the housing provide outlets for evacuating from the housing, air and moisture separated from the compressed material as it is initially compacted in the housing. A flexible tubular collector casing or hose is extensibly connected to the outlet end of the compactor housing, into which the initially compacted material is continuously advanced. The cuttings and other refuse material are further compacted against the interior wall of the casing by the force of the continuously advancing material and form a plug in the end of the hose-like casing, causing it to extend from the outlet end of the compactor hous- ing like a sausage. This sausage of compacted refuse material crawls in serpentine fashion along a guided path on the top of the main body of the grooming equipment. When the casing, filled up with backed-up refuse material, has been extended or unfolded, the resultant sausage is severed from the compactor housing and may be dropped on the lawn for subsequent removal to composting dump or other collection site. The screw conveyor may be provided with a bore for trans- porting a composting fluid from the inlet end of the conveyor to be discharged into the housing towards its outlet end.
