This present invention relates to an automatic recycling machine and automatic waste disposal system for plural types of household and commercial waste materials which automatically sorts, processes, shreds, crushes, compacts, rinses by cleaning liquid for removal of contamination and dirt from certain washable waste types, packages the waste material, and identifying the package with waste type and waste source by barcode marking. The automatic recycling machine is constructed as an appliance and includes separate fluid power actuation means for each type of recyclable material and non-recyclable waste, and control system to control the recycling process for each waste material type separately. The automatic recycling machine also comprises an operator control panel which includes warning indicators to inform on filled waste package of certain waste material type. According to the present invention, after the waste package is filled with sorted and processed waste material, it is automatically sealed, and then automatically removed from the automatic recycling machine. Furthermore, according to the present invention, the waste package is then automatically conveyed out of the household or commercial building by conveyor for waste material packages, located below floor level. The package is delivered to a external storage bin for multiple waste packages, located in the curbside or near driveway of the building, where it is automatically loaded into a storage container. Indication means are attached to the storage bin to provide information on the types of waste material packages which are stored in the storage bin, thereby preparing for central waste collection of sorted and bar-code marked recyclable and non-recyclable waste.
