An intermediate container for a refuse vehicle where the container is positioned in front of the refuse vehicle is provided. A plurality of legs extends from the container toward the refuse vehicle. An attachment mechanism is on each leg to secure the legs to a front loading arm assembly of the refuse vehicle.

A container and methods for construction are disclosed herein for a container having a replaceable bottom pan. An adapter is affixed to the lower edge the container and a replaceable bottom pan is removably affixed to the adapter.

A dumpster for the collection and discharge of solid waste having one or more apertures covered by perforated panels disposed in the side walls or end walls to allow visual access to the interior compartment of the dumpster to allow visualization of the solid waste contained in the interior compartment and to identify any contaminant waste comixed with the solid waste.

An automated waste collection has a housing, within which is disposed a deployment mechanism for receiving a waste bin. The waste bin may be placed onto the deployment mechanism through an access opening traversing through the housing and selectively obstructed by an access closure. Waste may be deposited within the waste bin through a lid opening at a top of the housing. The deployment mechanism may be displaced by a deployment actuator between a stored position within the housing and a deployed position external to the housing. In order to do so, the deployment mechanism traverses through a deployment opening selectively obstructed by a deployment closure. A controller operates according to a predetermined waste collection schedule, actuating the deployment actuator at any scheduled waste collection times.

A multi-handle trashcan apparatus for easier lifting and dumping includes a can body having a bottom side, a sidewall, and an open top side. A rim is coupled to the sidewall adjacent the open top side. The rim has a pair of channels extending through to the sidewall. A lip is coupled around a perimeter of the open top side of the can body. A pair of top handles is coupled to the rim. Each of the top handles extends between a pair of inner walls of each of the pair of channels. A pair of lower handles is coupled to the sidewall of the can body proximal the bottom side.

A trash can for the collection and disposal of trash is disclosed. The trash can includes a base and a separable sidewall allowing for easy removal of a bag from the trash can by lifting the sidewall around the bag, rather than lifting the bag through the top of the trash can. The base of the trash can is connected to straps with a handle positioned between the straps. The handle may be engageable with the sidewall so that the straps hold the sidewall and base together. The handle allows for convenient carrying of the base. The separable sidewall includes a bottom opening defined by the sidewall without a constriction in the width of a base end of the sidewall. The base includes a perimeter wall to inhibit material from escaping the base. The trash may have an outwardly tapered shape to increase the overall volume of the trash can.

A portable container base for use with a powered lifting device is provided. The portable container base includes a main body to secure a bottom surface of a container such as a trash can, a plurality of wheels on a lower surface of the main body, each providing independent rotation for moving the main body and container across a surface, and a loading tube on a lower surface of the main body to slidably receive a loading spike of a lifting device, transfer a lifting force from the loading spike to the main body for lifting the container, and restrict movement of the main body around the loading spike during lifting by an interference fit between a circumferential shape of the loading tube and the loading spike, such that a drive mechanism can lift and tilt the container to easily transfer contents from the lifted container to a receiving container.
