Various trash can assembly embodiments are disclosed. In some embodiments, the trash can assembly includes a body and a lid assembly. The lid assembly can include a lid, and a multicomponent trim ring. The lid assembly can be rotatably connected with the body via a hinge unit. In certain embodiments, a flange of the trim ring is guided into and/or received into the hinge unit. A translating pin of the hinge unit can engage into the flange, thereby providing a rotatable connection between the trim ring and the body. In various embodiments, the translating pin is coupled with a handle to facilitate movement of the pin by a user during engagement of the trim ring and the hinge unit. A positioner can help to position the trash can against or adjacent to a wall or other structure. The movement of both the trim ring and the lid can be dampened.

The present invention relates to a novel automated trash can device. The device is an improved trash can comprised of a base component with a battery component, a GPS, and a garage door opener. The device is wirelessly paired to a mobile application. The trash can device may be stored in a charging dock or station when being filled with trash and/or charging. In use, the trash can device will open the garage door, then proceed to the destination near the curb or end of the driveway. The route is optimized via GPS, ensuring the receptacle moves back and forth from the garage to the curb/driveway correctly. After being emptied, the trash can device then returns to the charging dock or station and closes the garage door.

The present invention discloses an improved garbage can which has an inbuilt liner roll compartment under its bottom, configured to place and hold a can liner roll to replace effortlessly and continuously a used can liner with a fresh can liner pulled up from under the bottom of the garbage can, without creating any messes, leakages, and spills. The garbage can supplies the fresh can liners from the liner roll compartment through a slotted hole provided at the bottom of the garbage can. The main purpose of the present invention is to provide the garbage can that facilitates an easier, cleaner, more sanitary, and more convenient can liner replacement task.

A waste cart includes a base housing; a center upright having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end is secured to the base housing; a top housing secured to the distal end of the center upright, wherein the top housing has two or more disposal openings for two or more separate disposal portions including, a first waste portion which has a first metal detector and an indicator for providing a notification when a metal item passes through the opening; and a second waste portion which includes a second metal detector and an indicator for providing a notification when a metal item passes through the opening; an electronics module which operates each metal detector independently; and an alarm indicator operationally associated with the electronics module which is activated when the electronics module detects the passage of a metal item through an opening into a waste portion.

A system for detecting disposal of metallic objects into an opening of a medical waste container, including: an indicator for indicating passage of metallic objects through the opening, a pair of receive coils and a transmit coil spaced therebetween shaped for receiving waste therethrough adjacent to the opening, and a controller in electrical communication with the coils. The controller generates and communicates a transmit signal to the transmit coil, which generates a magnetic field that induces voltage in each of the receive coils, which each generate a receive signal. The controller generates a waveform based on the receive signals with a baseline corresponding to absence of metallic objects, and analyzes the waveform with respect to opposite first and second thresholds. The controller activates the indicator in response to metallic objects passing through the coils when the waveform first exceeds the first threshold and then subsequently exceeds the second threshold.

According to an aspect, an apparatus is provided that is capable of providing debris collection and portage. The apparatus includes handles and tarp devices which can be used to handle yard waste.

A method for a municipality to control, track, and monitor waste or refuse receptacles requires a permit for use of a waste receptacle. An issuing organization issues a permit associated with a discreet receptacle identifier. An RFID tag is provided with the permit and attached to a discreet receptacle. The RFID tag transmits a signal carrying data associated with the discreet receptacle identifier. The signal may be read by a portable reader carried by municipal personnel to record violations of municipal code associated with the use of the discreet receptacle.

A chair device, a mattress device, and a propping device are provided. The chair device includes a support stand, a seat module disposed above the support stand, a connection module disposed at one side of the seat module, a back support module connected to the connection module and disposed at one side of the seat module, a first pressure adjustment module disposed in the seat module, a second pressure adjustment module disposed in the back support module, a first pressure sensing module disposed in the seat module, a second pressure sensing module disposed in the back support module, and a control module. The control module adjusts the first pressure adjustment module according to first sensed pressure signals from the first pressure sensing module, and adjusts the second pressure adjustment module according to second sensed pressure signals from the second pressure sensing module.

The present disclosure relates to an automatic gravity inforced lid locking device offered for purchase to the general public, self-appliable and removable by hook and strap to the outer surface of a residential plastic wheeled trash container instantanously. Certain unauthorized measures to attach many other types of gravity inforced mechanisms onto commerical owned disposal service containers have proven unfavorable due to the damage on the receptacles when drilled with holes to affix the devices. This can be a costly mistake to the customer indicated by a higher charge on their bill due to alterations of private property. Whereas, the present disclosure is a low profile locking mechanism and is automated public utility company friendly. Other specific examples of locking mechanisms (unless privately owned) for trash containers, do not attempt, at the very least, to address the complicated technique for mounting these devices or the numerical value to the utility waste service company on the destructive result to the rented receptacles. Rather, the present disclosure relates to further improve the means of locking a wheeled trash container lid, wherein the device keeps the lid of said trash container locked by gently holding it firmly closed until either a user manually releases a counterweight that unlockes the mechanism or is unlocked from a locked position as the standing upright container is tilted forward and empied by a curbside commerical disposal truck. Therefore, the spirit of the self-appliable and removable means of the present disclosure verses the alternative descision of other devices to modify waste receptacles by drilling holes into them for attachable means, defines a less destructive solution.
