A modular waste disposal or recycling container and modular container system are disclosed. The container includes a base and one or more sidewalls extending upwardly from the base. The base and the one or more sidewalls together define an interior space for receiving waste or recyclables. A sidewall of the one or more sidewalls comprises one or more sockets, and each of the one or more sockets is capable of removably receiving a respective one of a magnet, a ferromagnetic insert and a plug with a cap that covers the socket. The modular container system includes at least two containers, one having magnetic properties on a first sidewall and the other having ferromagnetic properties on a second sidewall. When placed adjacent to each other, the first and second sidewalls releasably adhere to each other.

A receptacle storage unit, or bin has surfaces for retaining four smaller waste receptacles, or carts therein. The receptacle storage unit is formed on a pallet base with three lateral sides, and an open front through which the receptacles are removed and replaced once full. The receptacle storage unit includes two opposing walls between which two receptacles are held. At the top of the receptacles, they are held by surfaces on the opposite edges of the handle against the walls. At the bottom of the receptacles, the receptacles are held by edges at the outside of the wheels. In a central part of the receptacle, a frame of the receptacle storage unit holds the central part of the receptacle. The receptacle storage unit has surfaces and flanges enabling multiple units to be stacked on top of one another.

A reusable, multi-purpose collection bin for waste collection, particularly at special events requiring waste collection such as concerts, festivals, sporting events, and any other outdoor or indoor event where trash collection is desired. The bin easily contracts simply by pulling upward on the top panels through the grasping holes on the top of the bin.

An apparatus for collecting debris displaced from a surface is provided. The apparatus comprises an elongate trough having a first cross-sectional shape of an open channel. The elongate trough comprises a first end of the elongate trough and a first endcap associated with the first end of the elongate trough. The elongate trough comprises a second end of the elongate trough that is distal to the first end of the elongate trough, and a second endcap associated with the second end of the elongate trough. The apparatus further comprises a set of mounting assemblies. The set of mounting assemblies comprises a first mounting assembly associated with the first end of the elongate trough, and a second mounting assembly associated with the second end of the elongate trough.

A collapsible container system includes a container having a set of walls interconnected with one another and a bottom member. The walls and the bottom member define a cavity in a first state. A set of bags is in a nested arrangement, and the nested arrangement defines a first bag being contained within a next bag of the set of bags. The first bag is removed through a top opening of the next bag enabling the next bag as a receptacle. A first connector ribbon is disposed near a rim of the container, and the first connector ribbon connects to a perimeter of each of the set of bags via a first connection. A second connector ribbon is disposed at one of the walls of the container, and the second connector ribbon connects to a side of each of the set of bags via a second connection.

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 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.

A waste container includes a floor, a first side wall, a second side wall, a back wall, a front wall, a first door, and a second door. The first and second side walls are spaced apart from each other. The back wall extends between the first side wall and the second side wall. The front wall extends from the first side wall toward the second side wall such that a gap is defined between the front wall and the second side wall. The first door and the second door are each movable between an open position and a closed position. The first door in the closed position extends between the front wall and the second side wall so all the gap is blocked. The second door in the closed position extends between the front wall and the second side wall so only a portion of the gap is blocked.

A container is provided. The container comprises a cover, a base, and a body, which includes one or more spine structures and one or more door panels which may open and allow substantially lateral access to the interior of the container. The one or more door panels may be secured in a closed position by a latch mechanism. In a first mode, the latch mechanism is not released. In a second mode, the latch mechanism is released. The first mode and the second mode may operate concurrently and can be accessed separately via different mechanisms. A switch mechanism may alternate between the first mode and the second mode. Alternatively, a pedal includes a first pedal mechanism corresponding to the first mode and a second pedal mechanism corresponding to the second mode.
