Embodiments relate to the technical field of waste collection, in particular to waste collection equipment, which includes a temporary storage tank, a pressing tank and a pressing mechanism; the temporary storage tank is configured for receiving and temporarily storing wastes produced by die cutting equipment; the pressing tank is configured for carrying the wastes in the temporary storage tank; the pressing mechanism is configured for compressing the wastes in the pressing tank; the temporary storage tank is provided with a first blanking port, which is configured for communicating the temporary storage tank with the pressing tank; the first blanking port is provided with a first valve; and the first valve is configured for opening or closing the first blanking port to control whether the temporary storage tank discharges the wastes.

A waste containment device comprises a chamber, the chamber comprising a generally elongate shape and having a first and a second opening at opposite distal ends of the generally cylindrical chamber; a first lid, the first lid configured to be removably disposed at the first distal end of the chamber, and wherein the first lid includes a top portion which covers the first distal end and wherein the top portion includes a plurality of slits emanating from the center of the top portion toward the outer edge of the upper portion, the slits allowing access through the first lid via the upper portion into an inner portion of the chamber; a second lid, the second lid configured to be removably disposed at the second distal end.

A sealing mechanism for a waste storage container includes a waste storage container that has a body, a lid and a cartridge adapted to be positioned in the body. The cartridge has a continuous length of storage film therein. The storage film emanates through a gap between a rim and a core tube of the cartridge and is folded down through a core opening in the core tube into an interior space of the body of the waste storage container. The sealing mechanism includes an actuator accessible from outside the body, a gear assembly operably connected to the actuator, a retaining assembly that holds stationary a dispensed portion of the storage film in the interior space of the body during a twist-closure operation, and a plunger operably connected to the gear assembly.

A flexible diaper pail having a container that is adapted to stand upright. The container may have a flexible sheet, a cover, a base, a flap and an odor barrier. The cover may be attached to a first upper end of the flexible sheet, while the base may be attached to a second lower end of the flexible sheet. The cover may have a flap pivotably attached thereto, such that the flap is adapted to pivot between an open position and a closed position. The cover may further have an opening and an odor barrier disposed in the opening.

Waste container including a telescoping wall construction defining an interior space receivable of a bag and which has wall sections positionable in a plurality of different positions to provide the wall construction with different operational heights, and a bag handling assembly coupled to the wall construction. The wall sections can be locked into engagement with one another and released when desired. The bag handling assembly includes a bag support defining an opening and including a membrane having at least one slot. Each slot is defined by a pair of opposed walls, possibly parallel to one another. The opposed walls of each slot are spaced apart a distance to enable a bag, when inserted through the slot(s), to be pinched by the opposed walls.

A system for discarding hygiene products is provided. The system includes a housing, including a first storage compartment configured to house one or more unused hygiene products, a second storage compartment configured to house one or more unused waste receptacle bags, one or more deodorizer compartments configured to house one or more deodorizing materials, and a receptacle compartment configured to house a waste receptacle bag, the waste receptacle bag being configured to house one or more discarded hygiene products. The system further includes the one or more deodorizing materials and the waste receptacle bag.

A waste disposal device for sealing waste and a cassette for dispensing film are disclosed. The waste disposal device comprises first and second rollers, each comprising first and second end portions and a joining portion therebetween. The end portions of the first and second rollers are arranged to receive and seal first and second film portions therebetween as the first and second rollers rotate. The joining portions of the first and second rollers are arranged to define an aperture for receiving waste in a first rotary configuration of the rollers and to seal the first and second film portions therebetween in a second rotary configuration of the first and second rollers. The cassette comprises first and second portions comprising respective first and second film dispensers. The first portion is mechanically connected to the second portion. The cassette is moveable between a first, compact configuration and a second, extended configuration.

A method for sealing refuse in a sealed chamber. The method includes providing an opening to deposit refuse into a chamber formed of a material that is partially sealed, identifying when refuse is deposited into the partially sealed chamber, activating a sealing assembly after refuse is deposited into the chamber to seal the refuse in the chamber defined by the material, executing a cutting procedure to separate the sealed chamber from the remaining material, the cutting procedure creating a second chamber being formed by partially sealed material, and drawing a length of the material from a reservoir containing tubular shirred material with an extraction assembly.
