A rubbish bin blind cover 12 used to hide a wheeled W rubbish bin G, that has a handle H and a lid L, from sight until rubbish or recyclables collection day. A blind cover body 14 having a hollow cylindrical form with a top periphery, fasteners, straps, and a wire frame, with a blind cover lid 30 which is the diameter of the cylinder. The blind cover lid 30 is attacked by fasteners, and straps that crisscross with a wire frame that holds the lid L of a trashcan when opening or closing.

A waste bin device of an aircraft lavatory unit is provided. A chute, waste flap, and waste container are formed from a material having fire resistance performance. A fire spreading prevention space that prevents fire from spreading to the outside of a waste bin device main body due to a flame occurring when inserted waste catches fire is formed inside the waste bin device main body at a storing position of the waste container positioned with regard to a lower portion of the chute. A maintaining portion maintains the waste container at a storing position. The maintaining portion includes a first maintaining portion that maintains from a vertical direction a condition where an upper portion of the waste container and lower portion of the chute are aligned, and a second maintaining portion that maintains the condition from a direction orthogonal to the vertical direction, at the storing position.

A garbage-can-type dust collecto includes a housing assembly, an inner barrel body for mounting or fixing a garbage bag, and a draught fan for driving airflow movement such that dust enters the garbage bag. The inner barrel body is detachably mounted on the housing assembly, the inner barrel body is provided with an accommodating chamber, and the garbage bag arranged in the accommodating chamber divides the accommodating chamber into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The gas extraction hole is communicated to the wind chamber and the upper chamber, the inner barrel body is provided with a gas suction port for extracting air in the lower chamber when the draught fan is in operation, and the gas suction port communicates the wind chamber to the lower chamber. The present disclosure has the beneficial effect of effectively preventing a garbage bag from blowing up.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for dynamically adjusting sensors for use in compactors and receptacles. A receptacle first sends a signal from a transmitter on a first module in a receptacle to a receiver on a second module in the receptacle, wherein the first module is located on a first inner wall of the receptacle and the second module is located on a second inner wall of the receptacle, and wherein at least part of the first module and the second module is located a distance above a bin inside the receptacle. Next, the receptacle determines a signal-detection characteristic including a signal detection status or a number of signal pulses associated with a signal detection. Based on the signal-detection characteristic, the receptacle determines an operating condition of the receptacle, the operating condition including a fullness level or an obstruction level associated with the first or second sensors.

Recyclable waste byproducts are efficiently collected for recycling at stores or other locations by compacting the recyclable waste as layers in a composite bale. The composite bales can be formed using existing cardboard balers that retailers or other stores typically already have for baling recyclable cardboard. In one embodiment, the composite bales are formed by binding together a layer of one type of recyclable waste and a layer of recyclable waste that includes one or more types of recyclable waste byproducts. The layered structure can be modified to omit one of the layers or to add additional waste byproduct layers.

A standalone waste compacting device includes an enclosure having a removable bin; a cover section on the enclosure incorporating at least one solar power unit, at least one storage battery and control unit, at least one inwardly pivoting user access flap having a dual locking control mechanism, at least one recessed foot pedal mechanism for opening the access flap, a detachable independent compaction unit comprising a scissor linkage and lever linkage system, and at least one service access means.

A storage housing (10) for a waste receptacle (11) is disclosed. The housing comprises a base (12) and side walls (13a-d) which extend from the base (12), and which terminate at an upper periphery (14) thereof. At least one of the side walls (13a) comprise a door (21) which can be opened and closed to enable the waste receptacle (11) to be removably positioned within the housing (10) through the at least one side wall (13a). The housing (10) further comprises locking means for releasably locking the door (21) when closed and a lid (16) which is moveable with respect to the side walls (13a-d) between a first position in which it substantially closes the housing (10) and a second position in which it substantially opens the housing (10) to enable waste to be deposited in the waste receptacle (11).

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for controlling electrically-powered trash compactors and receptacles. The system first receives data associated with a storage receptacle configured to communicate with the system via a network, wherein the data is received from a server storing information transmitted by the storage receptacle, the storage receptacle having an energy storage for powering operational functions performed by the storage receptacle. The system then identifies a parameter of the storage receptacle associated with an operational function of the storage receptacle, and transmits a signal to the storage receptacle for modifying the parameter based on the data associated with the storage receptacle to yield a modified operation of the storage receptacle.

A hinged and pronged plate apparatus for loading railway gondola cars with bulk material, such as municipal solid waste transported by trucks, in a cost-effective and spatially-convenient manner. The railway loading system can have multiple tiers, including a top tier, one or more middle tiers, and bottom tier, which provide working platforms and loading platforms for the gondola cars and vehicles containing the waste and workers that operate the system. The hinged and pronged plate can have a fin with perpendicular prongs extending from the fin. The hinged and pronged plate can be configured to cover the spaces between and surrounding the gondola cars and allows for easy and safe loading of bulk materials from trucks into gondola cars.
