ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Methods and apparatus for transferring refuse involve a container having a closure and an ejector head. A loading station includes a movable loading carriage, a packer assembly having a reciprocable packer head, and a plurality of power actuators. By positioning a container upon the loading carriage, the container becomes aligned with the packer assembly. The power actuators are actuated from a main control panel to move the loading carriage toward and away from the packer assembly, open the closure, and reciprocate the packer head for inserting refuse into the container. Subsequently, the closure is closed and the loading carriage is backed away form the packer assembly. The container is then transported to the unloading station. The unloading station includes a movable unloading carriage for receiving the refuse carrying container, and a plurality of power actuators. By positioning the container upon the unloading carriage the container becomes aligned with the discharge zone. The power actuators are actuated from a main control panel to move the unloading carriage toward a refuse discharge zone, open the closure, and move an abutment member carried by the unloading carriage into pushing engagement with the ejector head to discharge from the container. Subsequently, the closure is closed, the abutment member carried by the unloading carriage into pushing engagement with the ejector head to discharge from the container. Subsequently, the closure is closed, the abutment member is shifted away from the ejector head and the unloading carriage is backed away from the receiving zone. Prior to being positioned on the unloading carriage, a filled container can be stored in the vicinity of the unloading station until needed.
