Paper waste disposal system

To be used with a continuous feed/continuous operation printing system, a paper waste disposal system comprising:

• an intake assembly disposed in operative association with the printing system and structured to continuously receive paper waste generated by the printing system;
• said intake assembly including a chopper structured to reduce a size of the continuous intake of paper waste;
• a collection assembly structured to continuously collect and contain the paper waste received by said intake assembly;
• a disposal moderation assembly structured to continuously pass the paper waste received by said intake assembly to said collection assembly and to control a rate of the continuous passage thereof into said collection assembly so as permit removal of the paper waste contained by said collection assembly without requiring an interruption in the receipt of the paper waste by the intake assembly and accordingly the operation of the printing system;
• said disposal moderation assembly including a compression assembly structured to compress the paper waste for deposit into said collection assembly;
• and
• said disposal moderation assembly further including a circulation chamber disposed in paper flow communication with said intake assembly and structured to continuously circulate, separate and contain at least a portion of the paper waste therein until compressed by said compression assembly so as to allow the paper waste to be continuously drawn in and minimize compression hindering gathering of the paper waste.
