The system comprises (i) providing at least two, wheeled, enclosed elongate material-carrying containers (11) each having a floor, walls, a roof and an access door (40,41) at the rear of the container. The premises have a delivery bay (13) for transfer of materials from the rear of a first container into the premises; and at least one waste collection bay (23). The waste collection bay includes a compactor unit (20) having an input (21) adapted to receive waste material and an output (24) for expulsion of the waste material. Mutually cooperating connecting means are provided on the compactor units and on the rear of the second container; the connecting means providing a substantially rigid connection between the output of the compactor unit and the container. Preferably, the wheeled container is in the form of a trailer of an articulated lorry. <IMAGE>
