A garbage box includes an opening-closing unit and a switch on a predetermined surface, the switch being a switch by which the opening-closing unit is opened. The garbage box is installed such that the predetermined surface faces a base surface with a predetermined interval from the base surface, the base surface being a floor surface or a ground surface.

A trash can for the collection and disposal of trash is disclosed. The trash can includes a base and a separable sidewall allowing for easy removal of a bag from the trash can by lifting the sidewall around the bag, rather than lifting the bag through the top of the trash can. The base of the trash can is connected to straps with a handle positioned between the straps. The handle may be engageable with the sidewall so that the straps hold the sidewall and base together. The handle allows for convenient carrying of the base. The separable sidewall includes a bottom opening defined by the sidewall without a constriction in the width of a base end of the sidewall. The base includes a perimeter wall to inhibit material from escaping the base. The trash may have an outwardly tapered shape to increase the overall volume of the trash can.

Disclosed is a bucket for receiving oral wastes of a user. The bucket includes a container and an Anti-splash back apparatus. The container receives the oral wastes of the user. The container incorporates a base and a container wall extending upward from the base, said container wall having an inner surface and an outer surface. The container incorporates an open top for receiving the oral wastes of the user. The Anti-splash back apparatus during intended usage is intended to maintain the oral wastes within the container. The Anti-splash back apparatus includes a first blade and a second base, both configured within the inner surface of the container sidewall. The first blade extends across the voluminous void of the container at an acute angle from the base meeting the inner surface of the container sidewall. The second blade extends across the voluminous void of the container at an obtuse angle from the base within the container sidewall. The first blade and the second blade are configured to extend along a path substantially parallel to the base. The first blade and the second blade intersect to form an Anti-splash back apparatus. Further, the bucket includes plurality of handles attached to outer surface of the container wall, which during intended usage allows the user to easily hold the container.

A cart lifter assembly is provided that is adapted to be mounted to an intermediate refuse collection container that includes a scissors-type extension assembly for moving the lifter between a first/retracted and a second/extended position. The scissors extension assembly further comprises an elongated channel member configured to be secured to the wall of the intermediate container; a mounting block slidably received in the elongated channel member; first second, third and fourth scissor arms; and a bracket configured to be fixedly mounted to the wall of the intermediate container in spaced relationship to the elongated channel member. A rotary actuator is secured to the bracket and has a rotatable shaft extending from opposite ends thereof, for moving the lifter relative to the intermediate container between the first/retracted position and the second/extended position, with one end of the second scissor arm being removably secured to the rotatable shaft.

In that the lifting and tilting device (22)—which can be used as a separate assembly or integrated in or on a baler (1) for lifting up and tilting out a collector trolley (SW)—consists of only one long pivot arm (30) and a tilting part (31) tiltably attached thereto, the tilting movement of which is controlled by a link guide (33), a very stable, structurally simple and purely mechanical device can be achieved, as well as a baler (1) equipped therewith.

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 refuse container lifter is provided that comprises a base, a cross member, and first and second side plates; first and second masts connected on a first end to the first and second side plates, respectively; a first piston/cylinder actuator having first and second ends associated with each of the first and second masts for moving the masts between first and second positions; a cross bar rotatably mounted between the first and second masts at the second end of each mast and having a crank arm associated therewith; a second piston/cylinder actuator having first and second ends associated with each of the first and second masts for rotating the cross bar; first and second spaced-apart forks rigidly mounted to the cross bar and configured to be received in fork pockets of commercial refuse collection containers; and a residential refuse cart lifter secured to the cross member of the base at a position intermediate the first and second forks.

A self-contained electro-hydraulic system for trash collection is provided. The system comprises boxlike steel trash collection bin and a hydraulically activated trash cart lifter mounted on an outward-facing front surface of the bin. The system also comprises a control unit mounted on a side surface of the bin comprising a 12-volt battery, an electric motor, a rotator, and a two-stage hydraulic pump. The system hydraulically causes the lifter to grasp a trash cart positioned proximate the gripper. The system also changes, based on hydraulic pressure measurements, a stage of the pump from a first stage of about 5 gallons per minute to a second stage of about 1-2 gallons per minute. The system also lifts and tilts the cart based on the change in stage, enabling contents of the cart to fall. Power for the pump and lifting of the cart is supplied entirely by the 12-volt battery.

A trash can for the collection and disposal of trash is disclosed. The trash can includes a base and a separable sidewall allowing for easy removal of a bag from the trash can by lifting the sidewall around the bag, rather than lifting the bag through the top of the trash can. The base includes a pair of straps that allow a user to carry it. The sidewall includes recesses that are positioned and adapted to receive the pair of straps when the sidewall rests on the base.

Refuse carts and refuse cart retention systems for use in retaining refuse carts inside a corral and transporting or emptying the carts when needed. The refuse cart retention system generally includes a retention corral and at least one large refuse cart and/or at least one small refuse cart. Various mechanisms for retaining refuse carts in the retention corral include retention structures to receive a segment of a refuse cart frame, and frame protrusions connected to the retention corral that can be placed in tight contact with a cutout in the sides of the refuse carts having a geometry substantially identical to that of the frame protrusions.
