An animal waste containment assembly includes a container that is positioned outdoors to be accessible to people walking their pets. A drawer is slidably integrated into the container and the drawer supports a garbage bag for collecting animal waste that is deposited in the container. A lid is hingedly coupled to the container and the lid covers the opening in the container when the lid is positioned in a closed position. A deodorizer dispenser is disposed on the lid to dispense a measured amount of the chemical deodorant when the lid is opened. A foot pedal is movably disposed in the container and a linkage is movably coupled between the foot pedal and the lid. The lid is urged into the open position when the foot pedal is stepped upon to facilitate the person to deposit the bagged animal waste into the container.

A cabinet storage system includes a base and a pair of slides. The base includes a first planar surface and a second planar surface. The first and second planar surfaces are opposing surfaces of the base and define a perimeter of the base. The pair of slides are coupled with the first planar surface. The system also includes fences positioned away from the second planar surface around the perimeter of the base, and structural columns mechanically coupled with the base. The structural columns are positioned to abut the second planar surface and longitudinally extending away from the second planar surface to rigidly maintain the fences around the perimeter of the base.

A vacuum-canister that combines the vacuum, dustpan, and trashcan all in one is disclosed herein. The vacuum-canister saves time by allowing the completion of multiple tasks simultaneously. The vacuum-canister can suction both large and small items. Small items are suctioned through the wand extension feature into the dust and trash filter bin. Some larger items can be suctioned through the dustpan and carried to the dust and trash filter bin. Other larger items that are not suctioned can be delivered to the trashcan automatically. The functionality of the vacuum-canister not only saves time, but also minimizes potential aches and pains as a result of daily manual cleaning activities.

An article reversing/discharging box 1 includes a box main body 2 that accommodates scrap, hook members 3, 4 having insertion holes 3a, 4a through which forks of a forklift are inserted above the box main body 2, and a reversing mechanism 5 capable of reversing the box main body 2. The reversing mechanism 5 includes a bottom plate 6 integrally extending from a lower end of the movable hook member 4 along the bottom surface 2d, and a hinge 7 provided at a distal end portion of the bottom plate 6. When the forks are inserted into the insertion holes 4a of the movable hook member 4 and the forks are removed from the insertion holes 3a of the fixed hook members 3, the box main body 2 is turnable about the distal end portion of the bottom plate 6 by the hinge 7.

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.

An intermediate container for a refuse vehicle where the container is positioned in front of the refuse vehicle is provided. A plurality of legs extends from the container toward the refuse vehicle. An attachment mechanism is on each leg to secure the legs to a front loading arm assembly of the refuse vehicle.

A container assembly includes a container, a collection arm assembly, a locking mechanism, and a controller. The container has a front wall, a rear wall, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall cooperatively defining an internal cavity. The collection arm assembly is slidably coupled to the container such that the collection arm assembly is selectively extendable laterally outward from the container. The collection arm assembly includes a retaining pocket. The locking mechanism includes a latch and an actuator. The latch is positioned to selectively engage with the retaining pocket of the collection arm assembly. The actuator is positioned to selectively reconfigure the latch between an unlocked position and a locked position. The controller is configured to engage the actuator to selectively reconfigure the latch into the locked position and thereby prevent the collection arm assembly from extending laterally outward from the container.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for controlling electrically-powered trash receptacles and monitoring fullness levels. The system can include a storage enclosure and a bin contained inside the storage enclosure, the bin configured to receive and store items deposited in the storage enclosure, wherein an inside portion of the bin is at least partially covered by a bag placed inside the bin to hold the items deposited in the storage enclosure. The system can also include a sensor configured to sense a content fullness state of the bin and a processor configured to control operations performed by the sensor. In addition, the system can include a sleeve configured to be installed over an inside portion of the bin and the bag, the sleeve at least partially restricting a movement of the bag.
