A receptacle comprising a container and a lid is disclosed. The container includes one or more walls and a plurality of gussets extending from the container. The gussets include a first gusset having a cavity facing away from a second gusset. The lid includes a plurality of hinge components, namely a first hinge component including a first pin. The lid is pivotally coupled to the container by inserting the first pin of the first hinge component into the cavity of the first gusset and using a second pin to rotationally couple the second hinge component to the second gusset. A first protrusion, extending from the first hinge component, is configured to contact the first gusset and restrict opening of the lid.

A garbage collection container device including a container member and a drain member. The container member stores collected garbage. The drain member is built into the container member for releasing elements therefrom. The drain member including an aperture, a drain valve, and a control mechanism for opening and closing the drain valve. The aperture and the drain valve are located at a first bottom region of the container member and the control mechanism is located at a second bottom region of the container member. The drain valve is opened in a drain operating mode to release the elements from the container member through the aperture and in a default operating mode the drain valve is closed and the aperture is sealed.

An electronic waste tracking device, process, and system to track waste from one location to another location.

An apparatus for collecting and temporarily storing animal waste such as dog droppings includes a portable storage container with a pivoting lid movable between an open position and a closed position to keep contents dry. The container is adapted to receive and secure thereto a removable liner bag for easy disposal of the waste. A handle attached to the container pivots the lid open and closed with one position exposing the interior space from above for ease of adding and removing liner bags. A removable waste scooper is suspended from an outer wall of the container. The user need only touch the handle and a scooper when depositing droppings into the bag. The lid extends over an upper mouth of the container to prevent water from rain or sprinklers from seeping into the inner space. Custom compostable liner bags may be provided with lobes that are captured within bag retainers on front and rear walls.

A waste compaction system includes a trolley for collecting waste and a docking station that is integratable into a cabin monument of a vehicle. The trolley includes a housing with chambers for waste, an opening for introducing waste, a vacuum compaction mechanism assigned to a chamber, and a suction port accessible from outside the housing and couplable to the compaction mechanism. The compaction mechanism includes a compaction sheath extending from a bottom of the housing to a frame arranged opposite the bottom, and is fillable through the opening, and a rigid plate is arranged on or in at least one lateral surface of the compaction sheath and moves together with the compaction sheath during the evacuation thereof. The docking station and the trolley mate with each other. The docking station includes another suction port that is couplable to a suction line in the vehicle and the first suction port.

The Earthginuity Composting System is an organic waste composting system. It consists of three steps/components. The first step is using a free-standing cylindrical tube that goes in the kitchen. Organic waste goes into the tube. The second step is the Phase 1 Bin. It is a square-shaped plastic bin that sits on raw earth, and it's about thirty three gallons in volume. It has drainage holes at the bottom and two pegs protruding from the front to serve as anchors for dumping. The final component is the two Earth Grids. They are three by three feet, sandbox-like squares with NO bottoms and liquid-tight lids. The lack of a bottom to the Earthgrids allows for sitting on raw earth to attract ground bugs/bacteria. The lids have rain holes. You can open, close, and empty the Earth Grids with a Shepherd's Staff (hooked pole).

A container assembly for collecting and/or storing refuse, the assembly comprising a container body and a lid, wherein the container body comprises a wall section and a lower base section defining a container body interior, the container body having an open top end, the lid is configured to enclose the body open end, the lid comprises an opening configured for insertion of matter into the container body, the lid opening accounts for a portion of a total surface area of the lid and the opening, and the lid comprises a door configured to open and close the lid opening.

A self-contained and portable/mobile waste liquid collection and storage unit is disclosed. An example embodiment includes: a self-contained and portable/mobile waste liquid collection and storage unit comprising: a waste liquid reservoir within the unit; an integrated sink with a drain; a P-trap coupled to the drain to transfer waste liquid from the sink to the waste liquid reservoir; wheels for mobility attached to a bottom of the unit; and a handle to facilitate portability of the unit.
