Disclosed is a system for separating liquid and solid waste. The system provides a plurality of ways of moving liquids from initial disposal to a reservoir. The system may comprise an insert and a shell, or may include a funnel, insert and shell. The funnel allows for direct collection of liquids. The insert allows for indirect collection of liquids.

A device dispenses scented granules into a trash receptacle that has a least a side wall. An enclosure for holding the scented granules therein has at least a top end, a bottom end, a front wall, a rear wall, and includes at least one discharge opening in the rear wall and a refill opening proximate the front wall at the top end thereof. At least one conduit standoff projects away from each discharge opening and is adapted for fixing with the side wall of the trash receptacle. A portion control structure is fixed within the enclosure proximate the top end and cooperative therewith to segregate a portion of the scented granules when the enclosure is in an inverted orientation, and to deliver the segregated scented granules through a delivery conduit to the at least one discharge opening and conduit standoff when the enclosure is in an upright orientation.

A trash container with a shade closure includes a trash can base including an internal cavity and track grooves located internally along sides of an opening of the cavity and the shade closure including a flexible material and a pin connected to an end of the material, with ends of the pin projecting from sides of the shade and with the ends being configured to fit within the track grooves. The container further includes a shade spool portion located along a back edge of the opening and attached to the shade closure comprising a rotational spring configured to rotate the shade closure around the shade spool portion into a spooled configuration and a latch device located along a front edge of the opening and configured to releasably lock the shade into a planar configuration when the pin of the shade closure is pulled out away from the shade spool portion.

A disposable flexible container for installation into a sink. The sink comprises an upper opening and a bottom opening for draining, and the container respectively comprises an upper opening and a bottom opening. When installed in the sink, the walls of the container are adjacent or attached, fully or partially, to the sides of the sink, the container upper opening is fitted, fully or partially, to the sink upper opening, and the container bottom opening is fitted, fully or partially, to the sink bottom opening.

A shank proof container made of a flexible industrial plastic sheet sheet. The industrial plastic sheet sheet may be cut to form shapes that are welded by RF welding or other forming means to create a closed container having a bottom, side wall and an open top. The RF welding creates welded multi-layer seams that support the bottom spaced from the open top.

A refuse receptacle is disclosed, having a body with an upper and a lower portion, the upper portion having a top rim forming a gusset with a vertical wall and a horizontal wall, the lower portion having a bottom side with a base rim. On the back side of the upper portion is a handle attached to the body of the receptacle. The handle is attached to the upper portion by at least one projecting sidewall. A lid is included, having a convex upper surface and two sets of opposing sidewalk. The opposing sidewalls correspond with the top rim of the body. The lid includes at least one projection to attach to the handle with a securing plate and fastener. The lower portion includes a drainage plug so that liquids within the body can be easily drained. A pair of wheels arc connected by an axle and housed within wheel recesses.

Disclosed is a food waste treating apparatus including: a housing including a food inlet opening on its upper surface; and a rotating shaft assembly provided within the housing and configured to mix food waste within the housing. The rotating shaft assembly includes: a rotating shaft; a plurality of supporting bars evenly spaced and extended from the rotating shaft in a perpendicular direction to the rotating shaft; a plurality of agitating blades provided at ends of the plurality of supporting bars respectively; a motor configured to supply power to rotate the rotating shaft; and a torque transferring structure connected to both ends of the rotating shaft and configured to transfer torque from the motor.

Disclosed is a system for separating liquid and solid waste. The system provides a plurality of ways of moving liquids from initial disposal to a reservoir. The system may comprise an insert and a shell, or may include a funnel, insert and shell. The funnel allows for direct collection of liquids. The insert allows for indirect collection of liquids.

A waste collection container has vertical walls extending up from a horizontal base and a raised floor supported on a ledge above the base to define a primary collection chamber above the raised floor and a liquid collection reservoir between the base and the raised floor. The top surface of the raised floor is sloped downwardly from the outer periphery to a central elongate grate to direct rain water and other liquid in the primary collection chamber to the grate and into the lower liquid collection chamber. When the waste collection container is inverted to dump the collected waste into a truck, water and other liquid remains trapped in the lower reservoir, thereby reducing the load weight of the truck. One or more drain holes near the base of the container allow the liquid to be drained out of the liquid collection reservoir.

A two-part biowaste container for crushed biowaste includes a first part of the container for solid part of the crushed biowaste, a second part of the container for liquids separated from the crushed biowaste, which second part of the container is arranged below the first part of the container, a separating wall between the first part and the second part, a separating means arranged to the separating wall and being configured to separate at least a part of the liquids from the crushed biowaste from the first part to the second part, a drain connection in the second part for separated liquids, and a separating valve arranged to the separating wall that separates at least a part of the liquids from the crushed biowaste from the first part to the second part of the container.
