A vacuum-canister that combines the vacuum, dustpan, and trashcan all in one is disclosed herein. The vacuum-canister saves time by allowing the completion of multiple tasks simultaneously. The vacuum-canister can suction both large and small items. Small items are suctioned through the wand extension feature into the dust and trash filter bin. Some larger items can be suctioned through the dustpan and carried to the dust and trash filter bin. Other larger items that are not suctioned can be delivered to the trashcan automatically. The functionality of the vacuum-canister not only saves time, but also minimizes potential aches and pains as a result of daily manual cleaning activities.

A system or method comprising at least one lift system that is adapted to raise a container (e.g., roll-off container) off of the floor or ground to allow for the amount of material in the container to be determined. An example of a lift system may be comprised of at least one air lift bag (i.e., air bag, air bladder, or air spring), which may include or be in communication with a control system and/or other suitable processing system to facilitate the determination of the amount of material in the container. For example, a control system may be adapted to monitor the air pressure required to inflate each air lift bag to a certain threshold and/or another suitable parameter or measurement associated with the inflation (e.g., pressure differential) or position of each air lift bag and then use that information to calculate the weight of material in the container.

System and method of managing waste at waste transfer stations. Open faced bins allow human entry for sorting, segregation or quarantining waste before it is moved to or mixed with bulk waste stations. Bins are located in covered or uncovered bays located away from waste stations. Stops and guides for precise and safe placement of bins in bays are provided. Bins have quick hitch connection points. To collect, store and redirect leachates in bins, a liquid capture zone and drain hole is provided. Bay design prevents public access to machine areas and adjacent bays.

A mobile waste storage device is disclosed. The mobile waste storage device includes a storage body and a pair of cover sections. The storage body includes a waste receiving space and a plurality of body fastener receiving passageways. The pair of cover sections is flexibly attached to the storage body and is extendable over each other when covering the waste receiving space. Each cover section includes a cover fastener receiving passageway extending through an end thereof and positioned to correspond with another cover fastener receiving passageway extending through an opposite cover section and one of the plurality of body fastener receiving passageways when the pair of cover sections overlap to cover the waste receiving space.

Systems and methods for processing debris from job sites are disclosed. Carts for receiving the debris are also disclosed. Each cart has a base, a plurality of wheels extending downwardly from the base relative to a vertical axis, and a plurality of walls extending upwardly from the base. The walls and the base of each cart cooperate to define a debris-receiving space. The carts can be engaged by a lifting apparatus that rotates along an arcuate path to position the carts in an unloading position.

A container and a method of fabrication thereof, the container comprising side walls, a front wall and a back wall, the walls extending from a base wall to a top edge of the container, and defining an inner cavity, wherein the front wall comprises an upper part and a lower part recessed inward from the upper part, the lower part comprising facing walls extending inwardly from an external surface of the upper part to a recessed wall, the facing walls and the recessed wall extending downwardly to the base wall; each one of the two facing walls supporting an engaging element, the two engaging elements facing each other; and a grab bar is secured in rotation between the two facing walls, a first end thereof engaging with a first one of the engaging elements and a second end thereof engaging with a second one of the engaging elements.

A powered, waste container lifting and tilting device is provided with a plurality of braces that can be universally attached to any receiving container, a retractable loading spike and strap that can be universally attached to any trash can, and a drive mechanism that can lift and tilt a trash can to easily transfer contents from the lifted trash can to the receiving container.

A refuse receptacle is disclosed, having a body with an upper and a lower portion, the upper portion having a top rim forming a gusset with a vertical wall and a horizontal wall, the lower portion having a bottom side with a base rim. On the back side of the upper portion is a handle attached to the body of the receptacle. The handle is attached to the upper portion by at least one projecting sidewall. A lid is included, having a convex upper surface and two sets of opposing sidewalls. The opposing sidewalls correspond with the top rim of the body. The lid includes at least one projection to attach to the handle with a securing plate and fastener. The lower portion includes a drainage plug so that liquids within the body can be easily drained. A pair of wheels are connected by an axle and housed within wheel recesses.

A suction based trashcan receptacle includes a bottom receptacle body having one or more openings extending at least partially through a thickness of the bottom receptacle body; a top receptacle body to engage with the top open end of the bottom receptacle body; the top receptacle body slides relative to the bottom receptacle body to move from a collapsed position to an extended position; one or more handles having a tension device to allow for the one or more handles to pivot, the one or more handles being secured to the top receptacle; and the one or more handles each having a protrusion to engage with the one or more openings of the bottom receptacle body to secure the top receptacle in the extended position; sliding the top receptacle body to the extended position aids in removing a bag of trash from the trashcan receptacle.
