Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method to process compostable waste. The apparatus 204 includes a shredding module 302, a grinding module 304, and a bagging module 306. The shredding module 302 may operate to shred non-food compostable waste 102 into shredded waste 104. The grinding module 304 may operate to combine the shredded waste 104 with food waste 106 into combined waste, add water to the combined waste if an insufficient moisture condition exists for further processing, and grind the combined waste into particulate waste 108. The bagging module 306 may operate to bag the particulate waste 108 into a compostable bag 110.
Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for condensing, separating and storing recyclable materials. The apparatus, in one embodiment, selects a type of recyclable material, alters the recyclable material to a condensed form and stores the recyclable material in a designated receptacle. The apparatus may include an enclosure with one or more openings to receive an item made from a recyclable material, a selection module, a plurality of form altering modules, a plurality of receptacles, and a director module to automatically direct a recyclable material, responsive to a selection made with the selection module, to one of a plurality of receptacles according to the type of material selected. A system, in one embodiment, includes a recycling appliance and one or more modular form altering devices. The modular form altering devices may be interchangeable.
