Abstract
An apparatus and method for collecting and transporting concrete waste includes a container, a cart for supporting and moving the container and a mechanism attached to the frame of a cement truck for lifting the cart and container off the ground for transport. The apparatus may be stored on a cement truck so that the apparatus prevents disposal of cement and concrete waste in an unlawful or unsightly manner and allows the cement and concrete waste to be returned to a cement and concrete production facility and recycled. The cart includes a mechanism for tilting the container about its midsection using an elongated lever or handle.
