Dempster Brothers Transfer Station Refuse Handling

Early 1960's video produced by Dempster Brothers showcasing their Transfer Station system featuring Lancaster, Pennsylvania and Detroit, Michigan.
These videos were uncovered by Bill Dempster, great nephew of George Dempster. Many thanks to Bill for allowing me to share these amazing videos which haven't been seen in over 50 years.

The Detroit Transfer is still operational and processing refuse today.

I like the drive-over-the-pit feature (22:10) of the Detroit facility, a very clever idea!

[@trashratt]

that was excellent, so many child hood memories!

My dads coworkers father in law was the president of Dempster for some time. Her husband was in one of the promos when he was 15 or so.
