An apparatus for combusting recyclable or waste material, the apparatus comprising:
- a cylindrical combustion chamber having a horizontal longitudinal axis, the combustion chamber comprising a first inlet in a side wall, the first inlet in communication with a blower and an ignition means wherein the longitudinal axis of the first inlet is offset from the central axis of the chamber;
- a second inlet in a first end wall, the second inlet in communication with a source of recyclable or waste material via a first auger wherein the first auger transfers recyclable or waste material directly into the cylindrical combustion chamber via the second inlet;
- an outlet in a second end wall on a longitudinal central axis of the combustion chamber;
- and
- a second, upwardly-angled auger in operative communication with an opening in a lower-most, cylindrical portion of the combustion chamber, and
- wherein, in use, the blower forces the recyclable or waste material to circulate around the inside of the combustion chamber.
