Abstract: A refuse vehicle having improved compacting and unloading means is provided. A refuse storage space of the vehicle has a rear unloading door and a front opening through which refuse is loaded into the storage space. A small compacting plunger pushes the refuse through the loading opening into the space and compacts it. A rigid cover member is hinged to the plunger and is pivotally raised when the plunger is extended fully into the storage area and the unloading door is open to enable the plunger and cover member to periodically unload the refuse from the storage space by moving the plunger through a longer stroke through the storage space and to a point near the unloading door. The small plunger enables high compacting pressures to be achieved and yet the combination of the plunger and cover member enables the vehicle to be unloaded without the need for tilting the body.
