In a method of compacting waste (W), wherein waste is introduced into a generally box shaped elongated waste container (3) through at least one waste inlet (5) thereof and is collected in the waste container (3) at a waste collection station (4), the container is positioned with a generally rectangular bottom wall (3 A) thereof on an inclined surface (7) of the waste collection station, thereby tilting the container and its bottom wall, and releasably securing the container in the tilted position. A waste collection facility (13) of the waste collection station (4) is also provided.

A method of forming a bag stand including the steps of: bending a first subpanel along a hinge from a flattened arrangement, the first subpanel including a plurality of side panels and a connection mechanism, each of the plurality of side panels including a left end and a right end, the hinge positioned between a first side panel of the plurality of side panels and an adjacent second side panel of the plurality of side panels; and connecting the first subpanel to a second subpanel by the connection mechanism.

An accessory comprises a clamp configured for clamping onto the transport device frame and a trash container coupled to the clamp.

A trash receptacle for storing garbage and other objects includes

a container with a base wall and a perimeter wall. The perimeter wall is coupled to and extends upwardly from the base wall, and an upper edge of the perimeter wall defines an opening to the container. A storage compartment is coupled to the base wall of the container and comprises a tubular wall and a drawer. The tubular wall defines a channel which extends laterally with respect to the container and defines a pair of apertures to the channel which are laterally spaced with respect to the container. The drawer is slidably coupled to the tubular wall.

A sanitary product disposal container includes a container housing having a movable housing top cover, a movable housing bottom cover, and a sensor. A cover actuating mechanism may operably engage the housing top cover to actuate the housing top cover between open and closed positions. The sensor may operably interface with the cover actuating mechanism to facilitate deployment of the housing top cover between the open and closed positions responsive to sensing the presence of a person in proximity to the container housing. Accordingly, a used feminine hygiene product may be placed in the interior space of the container housing in the open position of the housing top cover without having to touch the container housing in order to open the housing top cover. The housing bottom cover may be selectively opened to facilitate removal of the used feminine hygiene products from the interior space.

A garbage receptacle transport assembly includes a pair of first rails that is each attachable to each other to define a first track that extends along a driveway of a residence. A pair of second rails is each attachable to each other to define a second track that can be positioned to extend along a driveway of a residence. A support plate is provided which is slidably retained on the first track and the second track. A garbage receptacle can be placed upon the support plate thereby facilitating the support plate to transport the garbage receptacle along the first track and the second track. A drive unit is attached to the support plate which transports the support plate along each of the first track and the second track to transport the garbage receptacle between a curb side for subsequent collection by a garbage collection agency and a home position.

This patent application relates to improvement of odor, garbage juice and insect issues associated with food scraps in a curbside garbage cart. The improvement is achieved with an apparatus for an organic waste process that includes a trash receptacle, a holder for the trash receptacle and a plurality of strap assemblies.

A container system includes a base including a body having a plurality of dividers defining a plurality of bays for receiving smaller containers therein. A plurality of tongues protrude toward one another from the plurality of dividers. The body includes tine openings for receiving tines to lift and invert the base. A smaller container is receivable in each of the plurality of bays. The smaller containers each include a pair of grooves for receiving two of the plurality of tongues. Each of the smaller containers is supported by a plurality of wheels and has a lid pivotably positioned over an opening.

A trash receptacle for storing garbage and other objects includes a container with a base wall and a perimeter wall. The perimeter wall is coupled to and extends upwardly from the base wall, and an upper edge of the perimeter wall defines an opening to the container. A storage compartment is coupled to the base wall of the container and comprises a tubular wall and a drawer. The tubular wall defines a channel which extends laterally with respect to the container and defines a pair of apertures to the channel which are laterally spaced with respect to the container. The drawer is slidably coupled to the tubular wall.

Core catcher (100) with a retractably extensible support column (110) between a lower landing foot (112) and an upper debris receptacle (104). Lower leg brackets (130) are radially positioned about the support column spaced above the landing foot. Respective legs (106) pivotally connected to the leg brackets with free ends (160) independently pivotable between a retracted position (102) with the free ends adjacent the support column and an extended position (118) with the free ends spaced away from the support column to engage a stabilizing surface (B1). Method of catching a core drilled from an elevated deck using the core catcher is also disclosed.
