A waste cart includes a base housing; a center upright having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end is secured to the base housing; a top housing secured to the distal end of the center upright, wherein the top housing has two or more disposal openings for two or more separate disposal portions including, a first waste portion which has a first metal detector and an indicator for providing a notification when a metal item passes through the opening; and a second waste portion which includes a second metal detector and an indicator for providing a notification when a metal item passes through the opening; an electronics module which operates each metal detector independently; and an alarm indicator operationally associated with the electronics module which is activated when the electronics module detects the passage of a metal item through an opening into a waste portion.

A bag holder is capable of holding a bag in an upright position with the use of expanding arms and a unique two stage hinge and clamp mechanism, which allows the expanding arm apparatus to enter and clamp a refuse bag quickly and efficiently. The operation utilizes a hook mechanism and a clamp, which allows the operator to use one hand to manipulate the expanding arm apparatus and the other hand to position the refuse bag. In addition, the bag holder functions as transport cart for refuse bags. Also, the unique cart structure, allows storing of two garden tools and multiple refuse bags. The bag holder is able to fold onto itself and be stored on a hook, by the unique handle. The bag expander and clamp mechanism is detachable which can be adapted to existing dolly's or hand truck.

Apparatuses for securing and transporting containers with lids is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a moveable can retaining arm for securing cans and a moveable lid retaining arm for securing the tops of cans. The apparatus further comprises wheels attached to the apparatus to make it mobile. The apparatus further may be extended to increase the number of containers it may carry.

A waste cart comprising: a base housing, a center upright having a proximal end and a distal end where the proximal end is secured to the base housing, a top housing secured to the distal end of the center upright, the top housing having two or more disposal openings for two or more separate disposal portions, a first waste portion which has a first metal detector and an indicator system for providing a notification when a metal item is passes through the opening; a second waste portion which includes a second metal detector and an indicator system for providing a notification when a metal item is passes through the opening, an electronics module which operates each metal detector independently and an alarm indicator operationally associated with the electronics module which is activated whenever the electronics module detects the passage of a piece of metal into a waste portion.

A waste container includes a body portion including an outer wall extending upward from a base wall. A lid is pivotably secured to the body portion. A latch assembly selectively secures the lid to the body portion. The latch assembly includes a handle rotatably mounted to the lid and connected to a lower actuator portion. The lower actuator portion has a disk portion with at least one cam portion. The disk portion is rotatable upon rotation of the handle by a user. Rotation of the cam portion selectively releases the latch assembly securing the lid to the body portion.

A container system includes a base including a body having a plurality of dividers defining a plurality of bays for receiving smaller containers therein. A plurality of tongues protrude toward one another from the plurality of dividers. The body includes tine openings for receiving tines to lift and invert the base. A smaller container is receivable in each of the plurality of bays. The smaller containers each include a pair of grooves for receiving two of the plurality of tongues. Each of the smaller containers is supported by a plurality of wheels and has a lid pivotably positioned over an opening.

A combination liquid holding device and liquid receptacle, a liquid holding device, a liquid receptacle, a liquid management system, kit, and/or method which preferably greatly enhances the ease and reduces the work required to dispose of undesired liquid. A combination liquid holding device and liquid receptacle, the liquid hand truck, and the liquid dumpster may be entirely manually powered, manually powered and free of all motors and electrical components, may be operated by a powered device, may include a motor, or may be operated manually with a powered assist.
