A personal hygiene product disposal apparatus for sealing personal hygiene products in a sanitary manner includes a housing having a housing inside. A plurality of doors is coupled to the housing and comprises a first door coupled to a first aperture extending through the housing front side, a second door coupled to a second aperture extending through the housing front side, and a third door coupled to a third aperture extending through the housing front side. A bag dispenser is coupled within the housing inside adjacent the first aperture. The bag dispenser has a waste bag accessible through the bag slot and is configured to receive a personal hygiene product. A bag sealer is coupled within the housing inside adjacent the second aperture. A cutter is coupled within the housing inside adjacent the third aperture. The cutter separates the sealed portion of the waste bag for removal from the apparatus.

The disclosure describes waste receptacles for processing waste comprising a waste portal configured to accept waste deposited by an end user, a waste analysis unit positioned proximate to the waste portal, a waste conveyor connected to the waste portal, a paddle or robotic member positioned over the waste conveyor and configured to push the waste off the waste conveyor and into a grinder or into a waste commodity container.

A self-contained and portable/mobile waste liquid collection and storage unit is disclosed. An example embodiment includes: a waste liquid reservoir within the unit, the reservoir being defined by a void within the unit and interior wall surfaces of the unit; and an integrated sink with a drain, the sink being molded into a top surface of the unit and fabricated using a same type of material as the top surface of the unit, the drain including a coupling to transfer waste liquid from the sink to the waste liquid reservoir.

A 3 in 1 reverse vending machine. A vending machine that is solar powered and accepts bottles and cans made of plastic, aluminum, and glass. The machine includes a conveyor system, barcode reader and cleaning system, this prepares the bottle and cans to be shredded and then granulated into small pieces. The machine houses a delivery system that carries the smaller pieces of processed material to its predetermined receptacle for storage. Each bottle and can has a monetary value once received by the machine that will be issued to the user once all bottles and cans are received and calculated per user per transaction.

One example embodiment is adapted for use in facilitating collection and transport of memory devices, e.g., drives, motherboards, etc., e.g., for the purposes of subsequent destruction. The example embodiment has an outer bin, also called a garage or outer enclosure, within which is placed an inner bin with wheels. Once closed and locked, the outer bin has a door that can be opened so drives or other memory devices can be inserted. The drives then fall into the inner bin and, once sufficiently filled, the inner bin be easily wheeled out from the outer bin. The inner bin has its own locking lid that is secured when transporting the inner bin with the drives, e.g., to a destruction facility or area. Other features are provided as described below. Enhanced synergistic security features include use of multi-point locking latches to secure doors and lids, metal construction of the bins, and so on. The bins are sized to facilitate efficient collection and transport of potentially sensitive data center media.

Embodiments relate generally to waste receptacles and more particularly to smart waste receptacles capable of identifying waste. A waste receptacle may identify waste using machine vision and perform a task in response to identifying the waste. In an embodiment, the smart waste receptacle may instruct a user to direct the waste to one of a plurality of waste bins based on a category of the waste. In an embodiment, the smart waste receptacle may place an order to replenish the stock of a product based on the identification of waste. In an embodiment, the smart waste receptacle is created by attaching a smart device to a standard waste receptacle.

A trolley system for collecting and compacting rubbish in a vehicle has a trolley housing with two chambers formed therein with respective housing openings and a rubbish compacting device. The first and second chambers, and the first and second housing openings are arranged concentrically along a main direction of extent of the housing upper side or of the housing base. The openings are arranged above the second chamber. A sliding surface is arranged below the first opening and extends from an edge of the first opening, which edge is directed towards the second opening, to an edge of the first chamber, which edge is directed towards the second chamber. The compacting device arranged above the first chamber is designed to move a pressing plate between a starting position close to the housing upper side to a position lowered in the direction of the housing base to compact rubbish within the first chamber.

A self-contained and portable/mobile waste liquid collection and storage unit is disclosed. An example embodiment includes: a self-contained and portable/mobile waste liquid collection and storage unit comprising: a waste liquid reservoir within the unit; an integrated sink with a drain; a P-trap coupled to the drain to transfer waste liquid from the sink to the waste liquid reservoir; wheels for mobility attached to a bottom of the unit; and a handle to facilitate portability of the unit.

The subject of the invention is a device for waste segregation and collection of segregated waste with a waste recognition, segregation and distribution section, a compression mechanism and storage bins is distinguished by the storage bins (15)(16) which have fill level sensors and which are inserted in the guideways of the base (13), directly over one of the side storage bins (15) there is a throwing box attached to the casing, with a throwing tunnel (9) and with a lid with a sensor that detects whether the lid is open or closed (4), above the bins (16) on a system of horizontal guideways (12), which are attached to the casing, there is a distribution cart (10) that moves sideways on the guideways, with a power system with a gear motor, which is controlled with a control system, the distribution cart (10) has a throwing mechanism (14)at least one automatic throwing lid (11), the distribution cart works with its own throwing box with a lid with a sensor that detects whether its closed or open (6), within the throwing channel of the throwing box (6) there is a sensor of the waste recognition systema camera.

A portable work area method of use that creates a work area on top of a container having a container body defining a cavity for receiving storable items through an opening defined by a top end of the container body, with the portable work area apparatus having a body with a top portion, an opposing bottom portion, and the top portion having an outer edge and a top surface that defines a substantially flat working surface, and positioning a downward extending attachment feature with downward extending attachment features for selective engagement with a portion or all of the top end of the container body when the apparatus is selectively placed onto the container for use of the apparatus and its working surface by a user.
