A flexible diaper pail having a container that is adapted to stand upright. The container may have a flexible sheet, a cover, a base, a flap and an odor barrier. The cover may be attached to a first upper end of the flexible sheet, while the base may be attached to a second lower end of the flexible sheet. The cover may have a flap pivotably attached thereto, such that the flap is adapted to pivot between an open position and a closed position. The cover may further have an opening and an odor barrier disposed in the opening.

An apparatus including a vessel open at the upper end to contain refuse or other material within an internal sack or bag type liner that the vessel holds open at the top. A lid that covers the opening to the vessel to conceal its contents with a lifting mechanism to open the lid in hands-free manner. A tab, flange, or other feature within the vessel to prevent the lining sack from coming into contact with and interfering with the function of the lid and its lifting mechanism.

A secondary solid waste container for solid waste of an analyzer is disclosed. The secondary solid waste container comprises side walls and an impact absorbing member. The side walls comprise an upper end and a lower end. The impact absorbing member is connected to the side walls such that the impact absorbing member extends between the side walls and is spaced apart from the lower end with respect to a direction from the lower end to the upper end. The impact absorbing member is configured to absorb an impact from solid waste of the analyzer. An analyzer and a method for removing solid waste of an analyzer are also disclosed.

Trash can embodiments dispense plastic liners. First, a holder secured to a bottom wall of a trash container includes a base, and four posts, each having a corresponding pivotable arm biased from a retracted position into an extended position. The arms are pivotally coupled to respective posts to releasably retain a box of liners therein, as liners are withdrawn from the box. Second, a particularly formed trash container includes a floor wall positioned above the bottom wall to divide the container into lower and upper chambers. The side wall has a first opening interconnected with the lower chamber, and a second opening interconnected, with the second opening and the lower and upper chamber. The floor wall has an opening interconnected with the second side wall opening. The first side wall opening provides clearance for the box. The second opening, provides clearance for a first liner protruding from the box.

A waste receptacle for collecting waste with a carrier that allows for easy transport. The receptacle uses a closing system to manage odor, and an actuator system to open and close the closing system. The closing system has a clamping mechanism housed inside a body that can clamp a bag placed inside the body with the opening of the bag disposed about the clamping mechanism. The receptacle may also have a lid in which actuation of the actuator system causes the clamping mechanism to open and close simultaneously with the lid. The actuation system may utilize pedals that can be replaced with a hand actuator.

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 waste-receiving system positioned inside a cabinet can include a radar sensor and a proximity sensor to detect movement or the presence of an individual to determine whether to automatically move the waste-receiving system from a retracted or closed position inside the cabinet to an open or extended position that is at least partially outside the cabinet. For example, the radar sensor may be positioned to emit signals underneath the waste-receiving system. In response to the detection of an object, the waste-receiving system may move to an open or extended position. In response to the proximity sensor not detecting an object once the waste-receiving system is in the open or extended position, the waste-receiving system may move to a closed or retracted position.
