2、ntion, a collection module may be placed in each residence or a number of collection modules may be placed at business establishments for collection of newspapers and other paper products. Each of the collection modules may be in the form of a container having a bottom surface of the size and config
3、uration of typical newspapers. The containers may also incorporate means for retaining binding materials that may be utilized after collection of a suitable amount of newspaper to bind the newspaper into a stabilized bundle that will now become separated during mechanized handling. The container may
4、 also be provided with indicia defining markings that reflect the height of the stack of newspaper in the form of weight and which indicia includes a specific marking to indicate the maximum dimension of the stack of bundle of newsprint being collected. For example, the depositor may accumulate news
5、papers in the container until the level of newspapers reaches the top of the container or an indicia marking indicating that the stack of newspaper is of proper size. When newspaper has been accumulated to define an appropriately sized bundle, the binding mate rial may be utilized to secure the bund
6、le of paper into unitary assembly. The bound bundle of paper may then be transported manually to a collection center where the bundle is accumulated along with other bundles in a collection and storage module pending subsequent transportation to a newspaper recycling facility or regional collection
7、center. The collection and storage module may be provided with a newspaper bundle receiving window within which may be provided weight and/or height inspecting apparatus that insures that the bundle is of proper size and configuration to be handled by mechanized equip ment that accumulates and trans
8、ports bundles of news paper. Apparatus at the newspaper bundle collection and storage center may incorporate a vending module incorporating the newspaper bundle receiving window and also incorporating a vending window that may be utilized by the depositor for receiving a redeemable coupon, voucher,
9、ticket or the like that may be appropriately marked for entitling the depositor to remuneration based upon the weight of the newspaper delivered and accepted by the newspaper bundle collection apparatus. The newspaper bundle will be placed in the newspaper bundle receiving window of the apparatus an
10、d inspected both for proper weight and dimension and, if the bundle is of proper size and weight, the vending module will transfer the bundle to the storage module and issue compensation as well as additional binding material to the depositor. A counter on the vending module will indicate the number
11、 of bundles placed in the storage module. When the storage module is full (or at regular intervals) the storage module and its contents may be removed and an empty module may be substituted therefor. The bound newspaper bundles then may be transmitted to a regional collection center or to a recyclin
12、g facility. As the newspaper bundle is inserted through the receiving window of the vending module, it will be placed on a loading plate which rests upon a spring or other suitable weighing device and which is attached to a base plate. A light source activates a light receiver and is utilized to det
13、ermine whether the height of the bundle is within proper limits for handling by the mechanized bundle handling system. If the bundle is of a height such that it interrupts a light beam between the light source and receiver, the bundle may be accepted by the vending module. If the bundle is of incorr
14、ect height or weight, it is rejected. If accepted, the compensation in the form of an appropriately marked ticket will be issued to the depositor through the vending window of the vending module and additional binding material will also be transmitted along with the compensation ticket. When the new
15、spaper bundle is of proper weight and height, a motor is activated moving a conveyor that transports the loading plate and the newspaper bundle supported thereby, transporting them to the storage module. The loading plate, responsive to switch actuation of the motorized control for the loading plate will return to its position at the receiving window of the vending module and deenergize the power circuitry of the apparatus until the inspection circuitry is again activated for inspection of a subsequent paper bundle. The apparatus will stack the bundle in orderly manner within a s
