A rubbish bin lock assembly includes a rubbish bin that has a lid is hingedly to a top end of the rubbish bin for opening and closing the rubbish bin. A plurality of receivers is each attached to the rubbish bin. A rod is included which has a sequence of bends thereon thereby facilitating the rod to be positioned around the lid. A plurality of engagements is each integrated into the rod and each of the engagements releasably engages a respective one of the receivers when the lid is in a closed position. In this way the lid is inhibited from being opened by animals from opening the lid. Additionally, each of the engagements disengages the respective receiver when the rod is urged into an unlocked position thereby facilitating the lid to be opened.

A container is provided. The container comprises a cover, a base, and a body, which includes one or more spine structures and one or more door panels which may open and allow substantially lateral access to the interior of the container. The one or more door panels may be secured in a closed position by a latch mechanism. In a first mode, the latch mechanism is not released. In a second mode, the latch mechanism is released. The first mode and the second mode may operate concurrently and can be accessed separately via different mechanisms. A switch mechanism may alternate between the first mode and the second mode. Alternatively, a pedal includes a first pedal mechanism corresponding to the first mode and a second pedal mechanism corresponding to the second mode.

A waste management receptacle system for containment of odorous waste comprising a primary receptacle, comprising a base with vertically extending sidewalls forming an interior portion, a rim, and primary receptacle lid movable between an open and closed position. The system includes a secondary receptacle comprising a bottom with upstanding sidewalls forming a secondary interior, and a lid portion moveable between open and closed positions. A clamping member secures the secondary receptacle within the primary receptacle interior. The clamping member comprises a lateral member having ends with longitudinal members extending therefrom, and a fastening member disposed on a longitudinal member. The fastening member is movable between a disengaged and engaged position to secure the clamping member to the primary receptacle.

A trash with an auto lid locking mechanism is designed to prevent accidental or unwanted exposure to waste and potentially hazardous material by humans, household pets and stray animals. In some embodiments, the lid of the trash can opens only when a force is continuously applied to the foot pedal of the trach can, and the lid automatically closes and locks when the force on foot pedal discontinues. In some embodiments, the trash can has an internal pulling force for the lid and does not rely on the weight (i.e., gravitational force) of the lid for it to close, thus the lid can still close automatically or remain closed even if the trash can is being knocked down and/or not in an upright position. In some embodiments, the foot pedal recesses and conceals within the trash can body, hereby making it more difficult for animals to step or continuously press on the pedal.

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.

The present invention relates to a locking garbage can device primarily comprised of a garbage can body with at least one actuator catch, a lid comprised of at least one rod with at least one actuator magnet, and a housing with at least one housing magnet. The lid is comprised of a magnetic locking mechanism that repels the actuator magnet of the rod via like-poled magnetic fields into a catch located in the garbage can body such that the lid cannot be removed from the body. By turning the housing, the housing spins such that a magnet with an opposite polarity of the actuator magnet of the rod attracts the rod toward the housing such that it disengages the catch and the lid can be lifted from the body.

A dual purpose waste collection device comprising a first container, a second container, a first pair of lifting sleeves coupled to first and second opposing sides surfaces of the first container, a second pair of lifting sleeves coupled to first and second opposing sides of the second container, and a third pair of lifting sleeves attached to the first pair of lifting sleeves and coupled to the second pair of lifting sleeves with an interlocking geometry. A method of collection of waste comprising identifying a waste collection device comprising a first pairs of lifting sleeves and a second pairs of lifting sleeves, positioning forks of a waste collection vehicle within lifting sleeves, and raising the forks of the waste collection vehicle to lift the waste collection device and to empty a content of the waste collection device into the waste collection vehicle.

The easy lid is a new invention because I have never seen anything in like it in the market. I created it for the sole purpose of keeping house hold use garbage bins' lids clean no matter what size or style they are. This invention can be used for any commercial garbage bins as well with size modifications. The main problem that the easy lid solves is preventing food, trash, and other dirt from making the garbage lid dirty. The invention solves this problem by covering the lid of the bin on the top, bottom, and sides serving as a barrier against that. It can be easily removed and disposed of. The cover consists of a shaped and sealed plastic/paper/fabric cover with straps/flaps with adhesive strips at one edge of the top side to secure to it to the bin's lid.

A receptacle has an outer housing with an aperture and an internal frame sized and configured to fit within the outer housing. A telescoping assembly is configured to associate with the aperture such that the receptacle may be placed in a first position or a second position, the internal volume of the receptacle being greater in the second position than the first. A second receptacle is formed from an inner portion and an outer portion offset by a stepped portion. The stepped portion forms a collar rest edge at a first height and a collar rest platform at a second height greater than the first height. A collar has a base and is adapted to fit over the inner portion such that the base may rest on the collar rest edge in a first position or the collar rest platform in a second position increasing the internal volume.

A waste container having a body and a lid pivotably connected to the body. The lid includes a gravity activated locking mechanism having a latch that engages the lid to the body when the container is in an upright position. The locking mechanism rotates to disengage the latch and allow the lid to open when the container is inverted for dumping the waste. The waste container further including a slideable member that is engageable with a locking member when the container is not in an upright position or inverted for dumping, to prevent rotation of the locking mechanism and opening of the lid. The container further including a deactivation system to prevent the lid from locking when the container is upright.
