A collection bin for a laser cutting machine includes a first container and a second container. Each of the first and second containers include a base; opposite first and second sidewalls; an end wall; a first lift member; and a first pivot member. The first and second sidewalls extend from the base and between a first end and second end. The end wall extends from the base and between the first and second sidewalls at the second end. The first lift member is positioned between the first and second ends. The first lift member facilitates movement of the collection bin. An interior space is defined by the base, the first and second sidewalls, and the end wall. The first pivot member extends between the first and second containers and facilitates a transition between a containing state and an emptying state.

A waste collection device having a main body delimiting an internal collection volume, a movable door covering a side opening, a stiffening device for stiffening the main body that are configured to prevent the main body from twisting when the door is in the open position.

A trash can with an indicating means for visually showing that the trash can has been emptied or collected. The indicating means for trash pickup provides visual indication from remote distances that a trash can has been emptied. It is intended to eliminate trips to the trash can location to only find out that the trash has not been emptied yet. The indicating means is intended for use on a trash can with an attached lid that is permanently connected via a hinge. The trash can may include other accessories such as wheels, handles, and the like. The indicating means may be utilized on trash cans of varying sizes from small to large. As such, the use of any specific size of trash can or use of accessories is not intended to be a limiting factor of the present invention.

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.

A cantilevered dumping system comprising a dumping mechanism that is adapted to be repositioned (e.g., reversed) relative to a base structure such that there may be multiple modes of operation of the dumping mechanism relative to the base structure (e.g., loading of materials and/or movement of the dumping mechanism, etc.). An exemplary embodiment of a dumping system may allow for the connections of a dumping mechanism to a base structure to be changed (e.g., reversed) such that the operation of the dumping mechanism relative to the base structure (e.g., loading of materials and/or movement of the dumping mechanism, etc.) is different. Another embodiment of a dumping system may include a base structure that includes multiple guide plates and/or guide rails to facilitate the desired modes of operation of a dumping mechanism relative to the base structure (e.g., loading of materials and/or movement of the dumping mechanism, etc.).

A method, apparatus and system is disclosed for making garbage dumpsters which includes a box comprising: a bottom panel; a back panel; a front panel; a left panel; a right panel; wherein said bottom panel; said back panel; said front panel; said left panel; and said right panel are configured so that a last remaining one of said panels can be hung on a plurality of hooks protruding from edges of two of said panels, thereby creating a container without using tools and without welding; where said container is configured to be lifted by fork portions of a vehicle.

A recyclables dispensing assembly includes a plurality of panels that are releasably coupled together to form a box for storing recyclables. The box is mounted on a vertical support surface. A door is hingedly coupled to a respective one of the panels such that the door closes a bottom end of the box when the panels are assembled to form the box. Thus, the door retains the recyclables in the box. The door is selectively positioned in an open position to empty the recyclables from the box. A clasp is attached to a respective one of the panels and the clasp is biased to engage the door when the door is closed. The clasp is urgeable to disengage from the door to open the door.

The garbage bag sling comprises a plurality of webbings, a plurality of fasteners, a plurality of hooks, a plurality of handles, a mesh sheeting, and a plurality of seams. The plurality of seams are used to interconnect the plurality of webbings, the plurality of fasteners, the plurality of handles, and the mesh sheeting. The plurality of fasteners attach the plurality of hooks to the interconnected structure. The plurality of hooks attach the garbage bag sling to the waste container. The garbage bag sling is placed within a waste container such that: 1) the garbage bag sling is positioned between a trash bag and the waste container; and, 2) the garbage bag sling is beneath the trash bag during normal use. The trash bag is then removed from the waste container by lifting the garbage bag sling out of the waste container.
