A pin-off and door closure assembly for a stationary refuse compactor which includes a packer unit having a ram for forcing refuse into a portable container through a load opening in the door thereof, the container being removably attached to the packer unit. The pin-off portion of the assembly includes an elongated pipe which, when not in use, is stored in a refuse-free compartment on the face of the ram. The pin-off pipe is transferred to its position of use across the container door load opening by extension of the ram into the container, following which pins are inserted through both sides of the container into the ends of the pipe for securing the latter into position. A hinged flap forming the forward side of the storage compartment permits the pipe to be removed from the compartment upon retraction of the ram. A flexible cover stored on a container door above the load opening is swung outwardly and downwardly over the opening to prevent refuse from falling therethrough, following which the portable container is transported to a disposal site.
In combination with a stationary refuse compactor assembly including a refuse container having a load opening, and a packer unit having a reciprocating ram detachably engaged with said container for forcing refuse through the load opening into the refuse container, a door closure assembly for positioning across the load opening of the refuse container, said door closure assembly including
