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.

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 receptacle comprising a container and a lid is disclosed. The container may include one or more walls and a pair of gussets extending from a top end of the container, wherein each of the pair of gussets includes a cavity facing an opposing gusset of the pair of the gussets. The lid may include a pair of hinge components, each of the pair of hinge components including a pivot pin and a stop pin, the lid being hingedly coupled to the container via a coupling of the hinge components and the pair of gussets. Further, the stop pin of each of the pair of hinge components may be configured to contact the corresponding gusset when the lid is opened to a predetermined angle and prevent the lid from opening beyond the predetermined angle.

A method, apparatus and system is disclosed for making garbage dumpsters which includes a box comprising: a bottom panel; a back panel; a front panel; a left panel; a right panel; wherein said bottom panel; said back panel; said front panel; said left panel; and said right panel are configured so that a last remaining one of said panels can be hung on a plurality of hooks protruding from edges of two of said panels, thereby creating a container without using tools and without welding; where said container is configured to be lifted by fork portions of a vehicle.

A hub or wheel assembly includes a retaining element, biasing element, and hand-maneuverable release mechanism. The housing includes an axle bore configured to receive an axle and a pin sleeve including a first end in fluid communication with the axle bore, a second end, and a conduit between the first end and the second end. The retaining element is within the conduit and is configured to operatively engage a groove in an axle. The biasing element is within the conduit and is configured to bias the retaining element towards the axle bore. The hand-maneuverable release mechanism is configured to displace the retaining element away from the axle bore.

Effective systems for separating, collecting and transferring organic waste from multi-unit residential buildings to deliver to composting centers are described which facilitate the reduction of contamination of the organic waste with non-compostable plastic bags. This is accomplished both by ensuring that the residents are constantly provided with compostable replacement bags for their kitchen caddies after each delivery of a bag by the resident to the recycling room, and through consistent marking that reminds residents of the system's requirements.

A container is provided. The container comprises a cover, a base, and a body, which includes one or more spine structures and one or more door panels which may open and allow substantially lateral access to the interior of the container. The one or more door panels may be secured in a closed position by a latch mechanism. In a first mode, the latch mechanism is not released. In a second mode, the latch mechanism is released. The first mode and the second mode may operate concurrently and can be accessed separately via different mechanisms. A switch mechanism may alternate between the first mode and the second mode. Alternatively, a pedal includes a first pedal mechanism corresponding to the first mode and a second pedal mechanism corresponding to the second mode.

The roll-off dumpster includes a hinged door at a front end of the roll-off dumpster. The hinged door is able to open and close off a front opening of the roll-off dumpster. The hinged door includes a sliding closure that is able to operate independently of the hinged door. Moreover, the sliding closure includes a winch that raises a sliding door vertically. The sliding door is able to move up and down with respect to a pair of rails integrated into the construction of the hinged door. The sliding door is raised vertically to expose a front closure opening that is configured to interface with an outlet of a stationary compactor.

A cart including a housing and a first foot and a second foot mounted to the housing bottom. Each foot is moveable back and forth from a direction away from one end of the cart towards the other end, and each foot including a recess opening downwardly away from the housing bottom. The cart includes a low pressure source in fluid communication pathway extending from each recess to the low pressure source. Each fluid communication pathway includes a valve operable for opening and closing the fluid communication pathway between the recess and the low pressure source. The cart includes a first motor connected to one foot and another motor connected to the other foot, with each motor operable for moving its respective foot back and forth. The cart includes a control system connected in communication with each motor and each valve, with the control system controlling each motor to move its respective foot back and forth.

A recycling container with holes and slots that allow materials to be inserted one at a time into the container in an attempt to prevent non-recyclable material from being inserted into the recycling container. The recycling container further comprises a locking mechanism to restrict opening, and possibly wheels, a method of preventing materials from being withdrawn from the recycling container, a shelf to separate types of materials, and a drain.
