An improvement in an apparatus for processing waste products, the improvement making it possible effectively to process cardboard or wooden boxes. The apparatus comprises comminuting means including a motor-driven drum having essentially radially projecting teeth arranged on said drum and an anvil for cooperation with said teeth for comminuting the waste products. In addition hereto, the apparatus comprises a downwardly sloping supply duct for the waste products opening in the housing above the drum, and feeding means arranged at the discharge end of the supply duct, said feeding means being rotated. The improvement of the apparatus is that carrier means comprising pins or pegs are disposed on said feeding means and project radially outwards. Preferably, the feeding means consists of a U-shaped clamp, the portion bridging the legs of the clamp being spaced from and extending in parallel to the axis of rotation of said feeding means, said carrier means being disposed on said portion and projecting radially outwards.
