A receptacle storage unit, or bin has surfaces for retaining four smaller waste receptacles, or carts therein. The receptacle storage unit is formed on a pallet base with three lateral sides, and an open front through which the receptacles are removed and replaced once full. The receptacle storage unit includes two opposing walls between which two receptacles are held. At the top of the receptacles, they are held by surfaces on the opposite edges of the handle against the walls. At the bottom of the receptacles, the receptacles are held by edges at the outside of the wheels. In a central part of the receptacle, a frame of the receptacle storage unit holds the central part of the receptacle. The receptacle storage unit has surfaces and flanges enabling multiple units to be stacked on top of one another.

A trash receptacle for separating liquids and solids is disclosed. An example embodiment includes: a lid unit including a sink area for receiving waste liquids and a chute area for receiving waste solids; a removable and portable reservoir tank for retaining the waste liquids, the sink area including a connecting tube coupling the sink area to the removable and portable reservoir tank and enabling the waste liquids to flow from the sink area into the removable and portable reservoir tank; and the lid unit being configured to fit over the removable and portable reservoir tank and an opening of a trash container.

A waste or recycling container system is disclosed. The container system includes a container and a rigid liner for inserting into the container. The liner includes a supporting structure provided on a wall of the liner. The liner also includes bag retention structures. The liner is capable of being placed in the container in a first position and a second position. In the first position, the bag retention structures are below an opening of the container. In the second position, the supporting structure rests on a resting portion of the container walls and the liner is elevated with respect to the first position such that the bag retention structures are above the opening of the container.

A portable work area apparatus and 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 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.
