The device is a trash can that is comprised of two sections that can either be separated completely or rotated to expose the bottom section of a trash can. The bottom section can then be cleaned easily and the trash can is then reassembled either by attaching the two sections or by rotating the sections and clamping the sections together.

An apparatus is configured to transport an object between a first location and a second location. An attachment mechanism attaches the apparatus to the object and a battery powers the apparatus. The apparatus includes one or more sensors which measure characteristics of the external environment and at least one wheel configured to mechanically drive the apparatus. A processor determines a path between the first location and the second location and control the at least one wheel to drive the apparatus along the path.

The present invention discloses a food waste storage device for a dining table. A plurality of through holes are provided in the table top of the dining table; dish-shaped storage bucket fixing bases are provided on the lower end surfaces of the through holes; storage buckets are provided below the storage bucket fixing bases; a longitudinal partition plate is provided in each storage bucket to divide the storage bucket into two semicircular buckets; inner containers are provided in the two semicircular buckets; storage bucket upper covers are provided in the through holes; turnover covers capable of turning over symmetrically are provided on the storage bucket upper covers; and turnover shafts of the turnover covers are parallel to the partition plates.

A reusable dumpster bag that can be rolled and unrolled for storage and setup, and is configured to be emptied via the bottom of the bag. The dumpster bag has four sides defining an open top portion and an open bottom portion. A rear side of the dumpster bag is configured to wrap around the open bottom portion of the bag to define a temporary bottom surface adjacent to the open bottom portion. Strapping is disposed on the rear side of the dumpster bag and extends from an upper portion of the dumpster bag along the length of the rear side of the bag, wraps around the open bottom portion of the bag, and is removably secured to one or more attachment portions on the front side of the bag. The rear side of the bag can be selectively released via a quick release shackle having a pull cord.

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.

A battery operated trash can carrier (100) for holding and transporting one or more containers is provided. The trash can carrier (100) includes a frame (102) having a laterally facing ramp (106) defining an entry means adapted to slidably receive one or more containers on a platform (104). The trash can carrier (100) includes a wheel base, where the wheel base includes a pair of wheels on one axle (108-1) and another pair of wheels on second axle (108-2). The trash can carrier (100) further includes a detachable power drive (110), battery compartment (130), ramp control (124), electronics control module (126) and a steering control (128). The detachable power drive (110) coupled to the wheel base, to power the pair of wheels on the one of the axle (108-2) and to steer the pair of wheels on the other axle (108-2) to transport carrier from one place to another.

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.

A debris collection assembly can be alternatively configured to form: (i) a chute or bag holder and/or (ii) a bag hauler that can be utilized with conventional bags. The debris collection assembly can be formed from at least one planar member that can be selectively folded or otherwise configured to form a chute apparatus that can serve as a guide for directing loose debris into a bag. The planar member of the debris collection assembly can be removed from the bag and selectively reconfigured to form a hauler for selectively transporting a bag and its contents of desired distances.

A recycling tote bag including a multi-compartment assembly formed of a flexible mesh fabric adapted to store recycling items therein. The multi-compartment assembly includes at least two separated compartments for the organization of recyclable materials. The multi-compartment assembly includes a proximal fastening member on the upper edge to provide a user with access to all pockets at once. The tote bag also includes a plurality of distal fastening members each positioned along the distal end of its respective compartment. The distal fastening members allow a user to selectively empty the contents of one or more compartments individually without having to reach into the tote bag. An anchoring assembly includes an attachment member connected to at least one eyelet on the multi-compartment assembly and an anchoring member that mounts the attachment member to a structure thereby securing the recycling tote bag to trees, poles, camping equipment and the like.

A portable container base for use with a powered lifting device is provided. The portable container base includes a main body to secure a bottom surface of a container such as a trash can, a plurality of wheels on a lower surface of the main body, each providing independent rotation for moving the main body and container across a surface, and a loading tube on a lower surface of the main body to slidably receive a loading spike of a lifting device, transfer a lifting force from the loading spike to the main body for lifting the container, and restrict movement of the main body around the loading spike during lifting by an interference fit between a circumferential shape of the loading tube and the loading spike, such that a drive mechanism can lift and tilt the container to easily transfer contents from the lifted container to a receiving container.
