A collapsible container which can be used for a number of purposes. The container can be deployed as a fire pit, as a trash bin, as a planter, or for many other purposes generally suited to containers. The primary function of the invention is to be selectively deployable and collapsible such that it can be taken inside to avoid inclement weather and general deterioration from being stored outdoors. The container is formed from several interlocking pieces or “petals” which fan out from a stored orientation into a deployed orientation forming a container having a container wall surrounding a container base. A central plate can be placed atop the container base to further secure the container in the deployed orientation.

System and method of managing waste at waste transfer stations. Open faced bins allow human entry for sorting, segregation or quarantining waste before it is moved to or mixed with bulk waste stations. Bins are located in covered or uncovered bays located away from waste stations. Stops and guides for precise and safe placement of bins in bays are provided. Bins have quick hitch connection points. To collect, store and redirect leachates in bins, a liquid capture zone and drain hole is provided. Bay design prevents public access to machine areas and adjacent bays.

An animal resistant dumpster is described. Embodiments of the animal resistant dumpster include a lid rotatably coupled to a refuse container. The lid can be locked in a closed position by a pair of rotatable hooks. To open the lid, and empty the refuse container, the rotatable hooks can be disengaged by rotating the dumpster past parallel allowing the hooks to rotate due to gravity. The lid can include a pair of slidable doors to dispose of refuse into the refuse container.

A blade disposal container is provided. The blade disposal container includes a housing including an upper end, a base, a first sidewall opposing a second sidewall, a rear wall, and an open front face including a perimeter edge. A slot disposed on the upper end extends through the upper end and into the interior volume and is configured to receive a utility blade therethrough. A channel disposed adjacent the perimeter edge of the open front face enables a shield to slidably retract and extend over the open front face. A magnetic member removably attachable to the base fastens the shield over the open front face and is configured to draw the utility blade into the interior volume and magnetically adhere the blade against the base via its magnetic field.

A waste receptacle may include a frame, vertical arm supports, panel inserts, and fasteners. The frame may include vertical arms spaced apart from one another and window openings, each window opening defined between an adjacent pair of the vertical arms. The vertical arm supports may be spaced apart from one another, each vertical arm support fixedly secured to one of the vertical arms and defining a pair of channels between the vertical arm support and the one of the vertical arms. The panel inserts may be removably secured with respect to the frame, each panel insert removably received within two of the channels and partially exposed through one of the window openings. Each fastener may be configured to move between an engaged position preventing removal of one of the panel inserts from the respective channels and a disengaged position allowing removal of the one of the panel inserts from the respective channels.

A receptacle stabilizer for stabilizing a receptacle may include a cover portion defining a cavity and at least one weight portion disposed within the cavity of the cover portion. The cover portion may include a top wall, a plurality of sidewalls extending downward from the top wall, and a lip portion extending outward from the plurality of sidewalls. The cavity may be defined between the top wall and the plurality of side walls. A method of forming a receptacle stabilizer may include heating a material to be formed into a cover portion of the receptacle stabilizer, placing the heated material over a mold, vacuum forming the heated material into the mold and forming the cover portion, and disposing at least one weight portion into a cavity of the cover portion.

Systems and methods for processing debris from job sites are disclosed. Carts for receiving the debris are also disclosed. Each cart has a base, a plurality of wheels extending downwardly from the base relative to a vertical axis, and a plurality of walls extending upwardly from the base. The walls and the base of each cart cooperate to define a debris-receiving space. The carts can be engaged by a lifting apparatus that rotates along an arcuate path to position the carts in an unloading position.
