A multipurpose refuse receptacle comprising an outer shell defining an inner chamber, a receiving assembly disposed within the inner chamber, and a door assembly. The door assembly is movable between an open position and a close position. The receptacle has a basket carrier and a basket, the basket being disposable within the basket carrier. Further, a hydraulic lift assembly is operably coupled to the basket carrier, the hydraulic lift assembly having a pump assembly. A mechanism is operably coupled to the pump assembly and the door assembly, the mechanism being movable in a first direction. Wherein, when the mechanism is moved in the first direction the door assembly moves to the open position. Further wherein, when the mechanism is moved in the first direction, hydraulic pressure is generated by the pump assembly.

A container assembly including a body portion with a front wall, a rear wall, and lateral side walls connecting the front wall and the rear wall. The body portion may be divided by a horizontal partition into an upper waste portion above the partition and a lower weight sensor portion below the partition, wherein the weight sensor portion includes a weight sensor. A container assembly may include an opening disposed on the rear wall of the body portion and a bag dispenser positioned near the opening and disposed on an interior surface of the rear wall, wherein the opening provides access from the bag dispenser to an interior space of the body portion.

A trashcan configured with compartments and sensors in association with a lighting apparatus operable to make it easier to detect when the trashcan is full and the compartment makes it easier to reach the trash bags and change it conveniently, the trash bag compartment can be used to store waste bags such as waste from pets. The trashcan is an embodiments in accordance with the present invention to enable an interactive trashcan application and security system, method, and device for monitoring a trash controlled environment and for detecting an emergency condition in the controlled environment and generating a response based on the existence of the trash emergency condition.

A pail facilitating ease of use having a pivotable removal bin. A retention structure pivots about a single axis, the retention structure having two sections that create an overlapping pinch about an upper surface in a first position and a lower surface in a second position. A cutter is located proximal the upper end of the removal bin.

A trash can comprising a can body, a trash bag being in use and arranged in the can body, a trash inlet formed in the upper part of the can body, an upper cover for sealing or opening the trash inlet, a support frame being arranged in the can body and comprising a through hole, and spare trash bags being continuously stacked and then sleeving the outer side of the support frame.

An improved trash container having a base, a rear partition wall, and a front partition wall hingedly attached to the base to enable the front partition wall to pivot and rotate forward away from the rear partition wall. The trash container further incorporates a bracket member that connects the front partition wall and the rear partition wall, enabling the front partition wall to transition amongst a closed position, an extended position and a releasing position. In a closed position, the base, front partition wall and rear partition wall are connectively aligned and together define an internal cavity for holding a trash bag. In an extended position, the front partition wall is pivoted forward of said base and separated from direct contact with the rear partition wall to enable efficient and hassle-free removal of a filled trash bag from the container.

Waste container includes a base defining a waste-receiving compartment, and an insert supported on the base and adapted to engage a peripheral edge of a bag that extends into the compartment while maintaining an opening of the bag unobstructed. The insert has at least one bag-engagement edge. A movable closure component has a first engagement position in which the closure component engages with the insert to press the bag when present against the bag-engagement edge(s) of the insert, and a second non-engagement position in which the closure component is separated from the bag-engagement edge(s) of the insert. A lid is attached to the base and movable between a first, closed position covering the opening of the bag and a second, open position in which it does not obstruct the opening of the bag.

A container for the collection of urban waste, constituted by an aluminium supporting structure which houses and protects a cardboard container, comprising: a supporting structure comprised of an external enveloping skeleton which is U-shaped when viewed from the side, with a removable upper hoop which closes the upper part of the envelope; a removable lid which folds with regard to the hoop which closes the skeleton assembly; a pedal located at the lower part and which operates the folding lid; and a tray which collects the leachates coming from a cardboard container, and which is a removable tray located upon the base; and a container, formed by folding a sheet of cardboard, resting upon the tray of the structure, and where the upper part of the container is held closed by the upper hoop of the structure.

A cassette for disposing waste is provided having a variable cross-sectional geometry. The cross-sectional geometry varies at least at two locations around the periphery of the cassette such that a first maximum height at a first location is different than a second maximum height at a second different location, and the first maximum width at a first location is different than a second maximum width at a second location.
