Impeller and compaction refuse collection system

A transportable container for collection, compaction and ejection of refuse comprising:

• a. a refuse storage compartment having forward and rearward ends and a confined volume between opposing side walls and top and bottom walls, said reward end of the compartment being closed by an ejection door coupled to the compartment and including means for releasing the ejection door in respense to ejection of refuse from the compartment;
• b. the forward end of the compartment being enclosed by a movable compacting blade having a fixed, upright orientation and adapted with means for activating lateral reciprocating movement of the blade in its fixed, upright orientation between a forward, noncompacting position and a rearward compacting position which is disposed with the confined volume of the compartment, said compaction blade including an opening therethrough for communicating through the forward end;
• c. a hopper compartment positioned immediately forward of the forward end and having forward, rearward, side and floor walls adapted for receiving refuse to be dumped therein;
• d. a refuse shredding device attached at the floor of the hopper compartment, said device having a receiving portion and a dispensing end, said despensing end being positioned at the opening in the compaction blade when said blade is in the rearward position to dispose shredded refuse therethrough into the storage compartment for compaction the compaction blade is attached to the rearward part of the hopper compartment forming a single hopper/compaction blade structure, said shredding device being permanently disposed in a fixed position in relation to the compaction blade with its dispensing end at the opening therethrough, the combined blade and hopper being subject to movement by the reciprocating means between the rearward and forward positions.
