ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A stationary chamber is located below an apron on which garbage and other refuse is dumped from collection trucks. An opening in the apron is aligned with an opening in the top of the chamber. The discharge end of the chamber is closed by a gate which slants rearward at an angle of 15° to the vertical against which the refuse is compacted. The gate may be raised when the chamber is to be discharged. Reciprocating within the chamber is a platen having its upper portion slanted forward at about an angle of 42°. The platen is driven by a multi-stage hydraulic ram. Loads of about 15 cu. yds. are dumped into the chamber opening by a bulldozer. The bulldozer operator by radio control causes the platen to move forward, compacting the first load to about one-half the original volume of the loose material. When the ram pressure reaches a predetermined pressure, the platen is automatically retracted. The operation is repeated until a predetermined weight has been received and compacted. Meanwhile a truck has been hitched to the end of the chamber. The operator then actuates controls at said panel. The gate is raised by hydraulic cylinders and the platen moved forward to push the compacted load out of the chamber through the back end of the truck and onto the bed of the truck. Each bale has longitudinal sides, top and bottom. The front end is slanted rearward about 15°. The rear end has a vertical surface extending upward about half way, then a forward slanted surface at about 42° and then a short vertical top stretch; thus the rear of the bale is complementary to the platen.
