A collar for mounting a container between laterally spaced runners of a retractable container apparatus. The collar includes a body portion and two wing portions. The wing portions are provided to opposing lateral sides of the body. Each wing portion includes a snap fit connector configured to connect directly or indirectly to a respective runner in a snap fit connection. The body portion at least partly defines an opening configured, in use, to receive the container so that the container is supported between the runners.

The present disclosure provides a waste/recycling receptacle protector/monitor for obtaining at least one objective for an individual. The waste/recycling receptacle protector/monitor includes a tension adjustable fastening module. The tension adjustable fastening module has first and second opposing ends that adapt to extend along at least one direction of a lid of a waste/recycling receptacle. The tension adjustable fastening module breaks apart under a predetermined opposable force preset by the individual. The at least one objective includes protection against at least one of theft of the waste/recycling receptacle, natural climate, personal data theft, and unauthorized dumping into the waste/recycling receptacle and surveillance of vicinity and one or more objects around the waste/recycling receptacle.

According to the present disclosure, a lid fastener and receptacle assembly is provided to removably secure the lid of a garbage receptacle assembly. Lid fastener is designed to allow the contents of the receptacle assembly to be secured within the assembly while it is in an upright position and automatically disengage when receptacle assembly is in the dumping position, relocking when receptacle assembly is returned to the upright position.

The present invention provides a locking device for a waste container that keeps the lid of the container closed when the container is knocked over on its side, as may arise from a sudden jerking or jarring motion, such as by impact with the ground, to prevent spillage of its contents. The locking device allows the lid to open automatically when the waste container is tipped over by a dumping operation. The locking device includes a sliding block slidable between a locked position and an open position, and a pendulum weight detachably attached to a magnet, when detached from the magnet, the pendulum weight blocks the sliding block from sliding to the open position. When attached to the magnet, the pendulum weight allows the sliding block to slide to the open position.

A waste container includes a container body having a receiving cavity and a top opening, a lid and at least one connecting member. The lid has a size adapted for covering the top opening of the container body and one or more pivot joints provided on an inner side thereof. The at least one connecting member has a hinging end edge hinged to a top hinging edge of the container body and a pivoting end edge, parallel to the hinging end edge, pivotally mounted to the inner side of the lid through the one or more pivot joints of the lid so as to connect the lid with the container body. Thereby, the lid is capable of covering the top opening of the container body while the at least one connecting member is extended between the one or more pivot joints of the lid and the top hinging edge of the container body and an outer side of the connecting member is facing the receiving cavity of the container body. The lid is able to be flipped to parallelly hang down in front of an outer side of a container wall of the container body while the outer side of the connecting member is facing the inner side of the lid and an inner side of the connecting member is facing the outer side of the container wall of the container body.

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.

An in-ground apparatus includes a receptacle and a liner into which the receptacle can be placed and removed. The liner may be a molded plastic liner having a tapering body to permit stacking. The lower margin includes a set of seats for anchor fittings in the form of re-bar prongs that, when installed, extend radially outwardly from the liner. The seats, and hence the prongs, are located upwardly of the bottom edge of the liner so that they are embedded above and below when concrete is poured around the bottom of the liner. The receptacle is formed to contain liquids, such as used cooking oil and hot grease. It has a heating element wrapped around the receptacle, and insulation between the receptacle and the liner. There is an internally concealed pump-out with a swiveling access fitting.

A lock for a bin including a body and a lid hinged to the body. The lock includes a lever mounted to the lid and a plunger movable by the lever. The plunger is configured to engage a catch mounted to the body when the lid is closed and the lever is in a first position. When the lever is moved to a second position, the plunger is moved to disengage the catch and the lid is allowed to open.

A flip trash can, including: a trash can body for containing trash, a lid, a locking member, a clamping piece on the locking member, a clamping portion on the lid and a flip-limiting structure. The lid and the locking member are hingedly connected to an opening of the trash can body, and arranged coaxially through the hinged shaft. The clamping piece is matched with the clamping portion. The clamping piece is configured to engage with or disengage from the clamping portion to respectively realize engagement and disengagement between the lid and the locking member. The flip-limiting structure is connected to the locking member to drive the locking member to turn over relative to the trash can body, thereby driving the lid to turn over relative to the trash can body.

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.
