Provided is a kitchen garbage can; the upper edge of the garbage can is equipped with a side slide can cover; when the can lid (2) is opened, it slides along the sides of the opening to the outer side wall of the garbage can; when opened and closed, the lid is only slightly higher than the top of the garbage can body; as a rear-hung garbage can, it does not affect the normal operation of the kitchen countertop when hung near the countertop, and may also be placed on the floor and used as an ordinary garbage can; the garbage can has the features of a reasonable structure, convenience and hygiene.

A refuse container lid opening device includes a lid hingedly attached to a container body for covering the container body's top opening. The lid when closed is flush with or recessed below the top edge of a railing extending around the top rim of the container body. An actuator retained in a sleeve on the outer surface of the container body is movable using a first hand between a rest position and an upraised position in which it is received in a slot in the top rim of the container body and engaged with the lid, further upward movement of the actuator opening the lid to form a manually accessible gap between the lid and the top rim to allow the lid to be fully opened using a second hand.

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 invention is for a sanitary container to receive and at least temporarily store waste. The container has a hollow housing with an upper aperture, and a portion of the housing can open and reveal the hollow interior. There is an upper part, located substantially above the housing to act as a lid, and this can move to open and close the upper aperture. There is an endless cassette non-rotationally mounted at or near the upper aperture, which holds a length of shirred plastics tubing which exits the cassette at or near its top and which can flow down through a central aperture of the endless cassette toward a bottom of the housing to form a containment. The containment can then receive waste from the upper aperture when open by the lid. The containment can be accessed by the portion when open, and the containment can be drawn downwardly to form a new containment replenished from the cassette and sealed closed by the sealer unit, and allows removal of the containment.

5 A hinge system for a waste bin, the waste bin having a bin body with an open top and a lid for covering at least some of the open top, the system including a hinge assembly for hinging the lid to the bin body adjacent the open top, such that the lid is rotatable between a closed position covering at least part of the open top and an open position exposing the open top, and a damper assembly for connection to the bin body and the lid, the damper assembly having a damping mechanism configured for generating resistance to movement of the lid towards the closed position and substantially less resistance to movement of the lid towards the open position.

Described is a system for controlling the operation of a trash can lid that includes a shell for receiving trash, a lid assembly that covers a portion of the shell, and an actuator assembly that independently controls the rate in which the lid assembly moves with respect to the shell. Also provided is a system for improving the operation of a trash can that includes a lid assembly for covering a portion of a shell, an actuator assembly, a base assembly, and a hydraulic component. The hydraulic component controls the rate in which a portion of the lid assembly moves with respect to the shell. The system further includes an adjustable volume of space that is formed between the base assembly and the removable liner when the removable liner is coupled to the base assembly. The adjustable volume of space can be used to store deodorizers, insecticides, or the like.

An accessory comprises a clamp configured for clamping onto the transport device frame and a trash container coupled to the clamp.

A lid assembly for hinged connection to a bin body with an open top, the lid assembly including a lid formed as a single layer of polymer dimensioned to cover the open top, and a reinforcing frame for attachment to a hinge at a rear edge of the open top, the reinforcing frame having reinforcing members extending from the hinge towards a front edge of the lid extending along a front edge of the open top when the lid is in a closed position, wherein the reinforcing members attach to the lid for rotating therewith about the hinge.

A container having a receptacle with an open upper end for receiving material, and an edge cap that is movably supported relative to the receptacle. The edge cap has a sidewall that is spaced outwardly from a camming surface of the receptacle, and a lid support member that projects inwardly from the sidewall. A lid panel is pivotably mounted to the lid support member for pivoting between a closed position and an open position. An actuation portion of the lid panel has a cam surface that is positioned between the camming surface and the sidewall. The cam surface is configured to engage with the camming surface to pivot the lid panel towards the open position when the sidewall is moved towards the camming surface.

A trash compactor may include a frame, a cavity, a trash receptacle, a platen movable to compress trash collected in the trash receptacle, a set of linkages and a drive mechanism configured to drive said platen up and down, the drive mechanism further configured as one of the link elements, and a platen guide mechanism configured to restrict the motion of the platen in an up and down manner.
