A yet further object of the present invention is to provide a mobile recycling center further providing an articulated boom for depositing heavy recyclables from the ground into said storage bin.
A still yet further object of the present invention is to provide a mobile recycling center wherein said articulated boom has a pair of extendable retractable outriggers for stabilizing said articulated boom during lifting.
An additional object of the present invention is to provide a mobile recycling center wherein said articulated boom provides for an attachable detachable bucket facilitating bulk collection and storage of a plurality of recyclables for deposit within said recyclables receptacle.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a mobile recycling center wherein
2 said articulated boom further incorporates weight measuring apparatus and weight display means for valuating the recyclables held thereby.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a mobile recycling center wherein said articulate booms and components thereof are powered either pneumatically or electrically or a combination of both.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a mobile recycling center wherein said storefront incorporates environmental controls and sanitation facilities therein.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a mobile recycling center wherein said storefront further incorporates a plurality of compartments for segregating recyclables.
A yet further object of the present invention is to provide a mobile recycling center wherein said storefront further provides container means for processing a plurality of recyclables.

6 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The following discussion describes in detail one embodiment of the invention (and several variations of that embodiment). This discussion should not be construed, however, as limiting the invention to those particular embodiments, practitioners skilled in the art will recognize numerous other embodiments as well. For definition of the complete scope of the invention, the reader is directed to appended claims.
Figure 1 is an illustrative view of the present invention in use. The present invention is a portable mobile recycling center 10 having a drop deck semi trailer 12 with an enclosed storefront section 14 for office and segregated recyclables storage compartments. An articulated boom 16 attached to the drop deck semi trailer 12 aids in lifting and weighing and depositing recyclables in a removable roll-off container 18 on the rear of the trailer. The mobile unit provides recycling opportunities for residential areas that have no means of recycling their large and small unwanted materials for remuneration. Also shown is the operator 20 and a customer 22 utilizing the storefront section 14.
