LIFT HANDLE FOR RECEPTACLE
An improved lift handle for receptacles, designed to significantly enhance durability and user comfort, is provided. The lift handle includes a structural configuration with dual side supports, each comprising an outer and an inner wall joined together by a connecting wall. This design effectively distributes the load during use, minimizing common issues such as bending, deforming, and cracking. Additionally, the handle features an ergonomically designed hand grip with a U-shaped cross-section and apertures for fluid drainage, providing a comfortable and secure grip for the user. This lift handle can extend the service life of the receptacle and can promote more efficient use of the receptacle by reducing the need for frequent replacements and facilitating handling of the receptacle.

Disposal unit and indicator system therefor
A disposal unit includes a housing surrounding a cavity and an indication slot formed in the housing. An indicator system is mounted within the housing and includes an indicator arm movable between a start point not aligned with the indication slot and an end point aligned with the indication slot. When the indicator arm is in the start position, the indicator arm is configured to transition from the start point to the end point upon opening of a door of the housing. Conversely, when the indicator arm is in the end position, the indicator arm is configured to remain in the end point upon opening of the door of the housing.
Garbage receptacle transport assembly
A garbage receptacle transport assembly includes a pair of first rails that is each attachable to each other to define a first track that extends along a driveway of a residence. A pair of second rails is each attachable to each other to define a second track that can be positioned to extend along a driveway of a residence. A support plate is provided which is slidably retained on the first track and the second track. A garbage receptacle can be placed upon the support plate thereby facilitating the support plate to transport the garbage receptacle along the first track and the second track. A drive unit is attached to the support plate which transports the support plate along each of the first track and the second track to transport the garbage receptacle between a curb side for subsequent collection by a garbage collection agency and a home position.
Trash Caddy Lid Indicator
Devices, systems and methods for providing a mechanical flag indicator device that can be used to keep a refuse container lid closed, while being in a down position or in a raised position prevents the lid from being raised to a vertical position perpendicular to a top of the container. When the refuse container is turned upside down to be emptied, the hinged lid on the refuse container opens up to a less 90 degree position limited by the flag indicator moves to its' limited raised position. When the refuse container is turned right side up, the flag indicator remains in the raised position, which indicates to the user/consumer that the refuse container has been emptied. Overtime the lid will fall back on its' own weight to close over the top opening to the refuse container.
