The present invention is intended for commercial businesses to store their confidential papers in until the papers may be picked up for shredding with a private company. The recycle box is made of aluminum, strong wood, and strong plastic. The present invention offers a higher level of security because the machine does not have a fixedly open drop slot. The recycle box looks appealing and can be placed in convenient areas in any work environment. The recycle box has a loading capacity of up to 500 sheets of paper.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for controlling electrically-powered trash receptacles and monitoring fullness levels. The system can include a storage enclosure and a bin contained inside the storage enclosure, the bin configured to receive and store items deposited in the storage enclosure, wherein an inside portion of the bin is at least partially covered by a bag placed inside the bin to hold the items deposited in the storage enclosure. The system can also include a sensor configured to sense a content fullness state of the bin and a processor configured to control operations performed by the sensor. In addition, the system can include a sleeve configured to be installed over an inside portion of the bin and the bag, the sleeve at least partially restricting a movement of the bag.

A waste sorting system uses various sensors to automatically determine whether a piece of waste is recyclable, and to dispense the waste into an appropriate waste bin of a multi-bin device, at least one of which is a recyclable waste bin. The system also uses sensors to determine a type of the waste, and it causes a display device or speaker to output information about the type of waste.

A trash collection assembly may include a dumpster housing which may house therein a dumpster to provide a more desirable aesthetic appeal. A garbage truck may be configured to lift the dumpster out of the dumpster housing without the need for the garbage truck driver to get out of the truck. A cover of the dumpster may open and close automatically respectively during the removal of the dumpster from the housing and return of the dumpster to the housing.

A compact baby care system includes a baby crib assembly, at least one sliding storage drawer, and at least one utility cabinet. The baby crib assembly includes a left side panel, an opposing right side panel, a bottom panel, and opposing top and bottom horizontal rails extending between the left side panel and the opposing right side panel. The bottom panel is horizontally secured between the left panel and the opposing right panel. The bottom panel is configured to support a mattress. The at least one sliding storage drawer is underneath the bottom panel of the baby crib assembly. The at least one utility cabinet is attached to the left side panel or the opposing right side panel of the baby crib assembly via a connector. The at least one utility cabinet stores at least one of a feeding station and a changing station.

A recycling bin for classification and compression of renewable resources, comprising a recycling bin housing, and a recycling bin inner container and a pressurizing device provided inside the recycling bin housing, wherein a weighing device is further provided between a bottom of the recycling bin inner container and the recycling bin housing; the pressurizing device comprises a compression beam provided in an upper part of an inner cavity of the recycling bin inner container, and a driving part for driving the compression beam to move; an upper end of the driving part is connected to the compression beam, and a lower end is connected to the bottom of the recycling bin inner container.

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.

A trash receptacle comprising a compartment enclosed by walls of the trash receptacle, wherein the compartment is configured to receive trash and at least two parallel and planar horizontal bars within the compartment, wherein the bars are structurally configured to receive and dispense garbage bags and a clip mechanism located near a free non-affixed end of each bar and located on the tip of the bars, wherein each clip mechanism is configured to receive a bag so that the bag is pinched by the clip mechanism and functions to prevent the bag from sliding off the bars or from collapsing inward.

A device is for compressing waste. The device includes: a waste bag suspension member formed with an upper portion around which an opening of a flexible waste bag may be spanned; a lid movable between an open position, wherein waste may be added to a waste bag through the upper portion of the waste bag suspension member, and a closed position, wherein the lid covers the upper portion of the waste bag suspension member so that an at least partially closed volume may be formed between the lid and the waste bag; and a suction member adapted to evacuate air from the at least partially closed volume. The lid is perforated so that the suction device may evacuate the air through the perforation(s) in the lid. There is also disclosed a system for compressing waste as well as a method for operating the system.

A secured “smart” container is disclosed for collecting green waste products including operational functions for collection, video surveillance and monitoring capacity. The secured “smart” container may include one or more programmable logic controllers. Operational functions are performed by electrical components including sensors to determine green waste deposits characteristics and contents. Operational functions are further adapted to send and receive data, operationally wirelessly, and configured and adapted to utilize solar derived electric power and, optionally, electric power from other sources. Embodiments provide constant 24 hour/7 days a week video surveillance and alert monitoring capabilities. Disclosed systems and methods also include collection and transportation of waste contents from the container to a processing subsystem. Additionally, disclosed systems may also include a monitoring system for monitoring the collection of green waste product, delivery of the same to the processing subsystem and tracking to and throughout final processing of the green waste product and handling personnel.
