A reference structure is adapted to be held in a substantially fixed location while a movable, self supporting, fluid tight, structure is variably positioned and expanded, at least in part, to and from the reference structure to move a ram. The ram inturn enters a receiving chamber to contact and compress refuse therein and compressibly move the compacting refuse into a compaction chamber. The ram moves as both fluid pressure generating and regulating apparatus are operated to expand and then to retract the self-supporting fluid tight structure. Various stages of compression are undertaken, as necessary, when a variable position reactive compression plate or baffle is sequentially moved away from the receiving chamber to define different volume sizes of temporary subcompartments within the compaction chamber which often serves as an "on the spot" refuse container.
