A sealing mechanism for a waste storage container includes a waste storage container that has a body, a lid and a cartridge adapted to be positioned in the body. The cartridge has a continuous length of storage film therein. The storage film emanates through a gap between a rim and a core tube of the cartridge and is folded down through a core opening in the core tube into an interior space of the body of the waste storage container. The sealing mechanism includes an actuator accessible from outside the body, a gear assembly operably connected to the actuator, a retaining assembly that holds stationary a dispensed portion of the storage film in the interior space of the body during a twist-closure operation, and a plunger operably connected to the gear assembly

A collapsible waste receptacle is disclosed with front and rear frame pieces generally defining an exterior boundary. The waste receptacle is configured to move between an expanded and a collapsed configuration. In the expanded configuration, a bottom frame piece may be attached to both the front frame piece and the rear frame piece to define at least a lower portion of the exterior boundary of the receptacle, and a top surface may contact the front frame piece and the rear frame piece. To transition to the collapsed configuration, the bottom frame piece may disconnect and rotate to generally vertical orientation within the exterior boundary of the receptacle. The top surface may rotate around a frame piece to generally vertical orientation outside the exterior boundary. The front and rear frame pieces may move towards each other to define a collapsed configuration, e.g. assisted by the inward folding of remaining side panels.

Metal tableware articles are separated from trash as the trash is deposited into a trash container through a removable cover having brackets supporting a shaft of a magnetic bar assembly for rotation on a horizontal axis. The shaft is rotated from outside the cover by an axially movable rotatable pin having a knob on its outer end and extending through the side wall of the cover for releasably engaging one end of the shaft. When the knob and pin are retracted axially, the bar assembly may be lowered from the cover for cleaning. The bar assembly has axially spaced magnetic plate units each having a pair of generally triangular metal plates with flat corner surfaces and with a panel of magnetic material of the same shape sandwiched between the plates. The bar assembly is spaced above the bottom surface of the cover for protection of the bar assembly.

A waste disposal apparatus, such as a waste disposal container or unit that is configured to receive used personal care products in a discreet and sanitary manner Instances of incontinence, menstruation or uncontrollable bodily functions can be a personal situation that is otherwise unknown to others. However, current receptacles available to dispose of used personal care products fail to provide for a hygienic, easily accessible and discreet that is designed for small spaces, such as a home bathroom or public restroom stall.

The present invention is intended for commercial businesses to store their confidential papers in until the papers may be picked up for shredding with a private company. The recycle box is made of aluminum, strong wood, and strong plastic. The present invention offers a higher level of security because the machine does not have a fixedly open drop slot. The recycle box looks appealing and can be placed in convenient areas in any work environment. The recycle box has a loading capacity of up to 500 sheets of paper.

Disclosed herein is a document destruction lid for preventing the retrieval of documents inserted through the lid. The lid comprises a skirt extending around a periphery of the lid for securing the lid to a container. A vertical sidewall extending downward from a top surface of the lid, having a height greater than or equal to 70% of a height of a lip of the container. A security structure for depositing the documents extends from a top surface of the lid. The security structure comprises a front wall, a horizontal slot, a rear wall extending upwards from the top surface of the lid opposite the front wall, and a top surface joining the front wall to the rear wall. The front wall and rear wall are angled away from each other to make document retrieval difficult while still allowing easy disposal of the documents.

A kitchen waste processor includes a base including a basket which has a heater located therein. A driver rotates the basket which is pivotably supported by a support. A container is located in the basket and protrudes beyond the open top of the basket. A cover has a hole defined centrally therethrough, and a seal is located within the hole. A vacuum suction pipe or a blade shaft extends through the hole. A locking device is located between the container and the cover to seal the cover to the container. The container receives kitchen waste and bacteria therein. The heater heats the container while the container is driven by the driver to spin, so that the kitchen waste in the container is fermented under high temperature to transfer the kitchen waste into fertilizer.

A trash bin assembly includes a collapsible cover assembly and a collapsible base assembly that removably cooperate with one another and are constructed to pivotably cooperate with one another when deployed. One or more bag supports are disposed in the bin assembly and maintain an open configuration of a bag disposed therein. A pivot assembly removably secures the cover assembly to the base assembly and is constructed to facilitate rotation of the cover assembly relative to the base assembly during service operations and to define a range of rotation of the cover assembly relative to the base assembly.

A compost collection device including: a waste collection bin; and a removable lid for the bin, the lid including: a first seal disposed for circumferentially sealing between the lid and a top rim of the bin; a circular opening in the lid; a rotatable sphere have a waste material pocket therein, the sphere being disposed in the lid; a second seal disposed between the sphere and the opening in the lid, for circumferentially sealing between the sphere and the opening in the lid; a handle attached to the sphere for rotating the rotatable sphere to deposit waste materials into the bin; a retaining lid having an opening therein for depositing waste materials into the pocket in the sphere; and a third seal disposed between the retaining lid and the sphere adjacent the opening in the retaining lid, for sealing between the sphere and the opening in the retaining lid.

A container with an opening for receiving items for later disposal is disclosed. The container includes a container body with a bottom and a sidewall extending upwards from the bottom, as well as a removable lid to close the container. The container also includes a lock to lock the lid to the container. An engagement structure is provided on a side opposite the lock to prevent separation of the lid from the container body. The container may be stackable by including complementary male and female structures on the bottom and the lid. The container may also include a handle adjacent the bottom that contacts the ground when the container rests on the ground.
