A refuse container having an indicator assembly for informing a waste generator of contamination in a waste stream. A refuse container includes a container body comprising a receptacle portion and a lid coupled with the receptacle portion. The receptacle portion includes a plurality of walls that together define an enclosed space for containing refuse. An indicator device is coupled with the container body. The indicator device is movable relative to the container body between a first position and a second position. First indicia is provided on one of the indicator device or the container body. When the indicator device is in the first position, the first indicia are visible from the exterior of the refuse container, and when the indicator device is in the second position, the first indicia are not visible from the exterior of the refuse container.

A cart includes a body portion forming a receptacle. A lid is pivotable relative to the body portion. A lock assembly includes a hasp fixed relative to one of the lid or the body portion. A lock is fixed relative to the other of the lid or the body portion and includes a catch for engaging the hasp and an actuator in electrical communication with a controller. The actuator is configured to actuate the catch to selectively secure the hasp relative to the lock.

A residue-compacting container with disinfection system is described that includes a vertically displaceable structure, a lid and a bag, the structure comprising a chassis internally supporting a sealed container and has, vertically fixed on both sides, a lower lateral structure; two lower lateral structures, each formed by cylinders, a steel cable, a spring and a telescopic pipe; two upper lateral structures with a handle; and a sealed container formed by a lower cylindrical body and an upper cylindrical body; the container lid is located over the chassis and moves along the two upper lateral structures, has a hermetic sealing resin and contains mechanical elements for sterilizing and compacting the residues contained inside a bag, which is located inside the sealed container.

The present disclosure provides a rechargeable battery for an induction garbage bin, comprising a steel shell, a battery core, an output structural component and an intermediate connection structural component, the battery core being provided in the steel shell, wherein, a lower end of a USB fixing structural part of the intermediate connection structural component is fittingly sleeved on an open end of the steel shell; a positive end of the battery core is connected with a positive tab connection point (B+) on a PCB substrate, a negative end of the battery core is connected with a negative tab connection point (B−) on the PCB substrate; the output structural component is fittingly clamped and sleeved on a USB metal part of the intermediate connection structural component; and a positive clamp output end (O+) of the electronic component is in close contact with a metal languet of a positive cap of the output structural component. The rechargeable battery for an induction garbage bin according to the present disclosure is convenient to fabricate, safe and reliable, and has a high energy utilization rate.

A sanitary waste disposal device for portable use includes a shell, which defines an interior space and which is substantially impermeable to water. An opening is positioned in a front of the shell proximate to a top of the shell. A cover panel is hingedly engaged to the shell proximate to the opening. The cover panel is hingable from a first position, wherein the cover panel closes the opening, to a second position, wherein waste is insertable through the opening into the shell. A mounting element is engaged to the shell proximate to the top and is used to selectively mount the shell to a substrate.

A container apparatus comprises a mounting means, a lid connected to the mounting means by a connecting means and a frame slideably connected to the mounting means. The frame is adapted to support a waste container. The frame is slideable between a first frame position, wherein an open end of the waste container is entirely covered by the lid, and a second frame position which is offset from the first position in a first direction. The connecting means allows the lid to move between a first lid position and a second lid position which is above the first lid position and is offset from the first lid position. The apparatus has lid moving means which move the lid to the second lid position when the frame is moved from the first frame position to the second frame position. A collar for mounting a container between runners of a retractable container apparatus is also provided.

A system for recycling organics from a commercial facility includes a plurality of waste producing facilities each producing recyclable waste including organics and food packaging; one or more bins at each of the waste producing facilities, the bins being able to house the recyclable waste; a distribution center; a recycling facility able to separate the organics from the food packaging; one or more first vehicles for transporting the bins containing the recyclable waste from the plurality of waste producing facilities to the distribution center; and one or more second vehicles for transporting the recyclable waste from the distribution center to the recycling facility.
