A waste container comprises a foldable sheet provided with a plurality of folding lines, which, when folded to define the waste container, comprises: a bottom; side walls, including a first side wall and a second side wall; a lid; and a first holding element to hold a bag. The waste container defines an inlet mouth arranged on the first side wall for introduction of waste into the waste container.

An example lavatory waste compartment includes a waste bin having a waste compartment for trash, a waste flap providing an opening into the waste compartment for insertion of the trash, and a manually operated trash compactor coupled to a ceiling. The manually operated trash compactor includes an expansion component connected to a compacting head, and a retraction component coupled to the expansion component to hold or retract the expansion component to a stowed position. An increase in temperature above a threshold temperature causes the retraction component to release the expansion component resulting in deployment of the compacting head into the waste bin. An actuation device is provided to deploy the expansion component from the stowed position, and when deployed, the expansion component blocks opening of the waste flap, and the retraction component causes the expansion component to retract to the stowed position via release of the actuation device.

The disclosure relates to a composting device including a housing defining an interior with an access opening providing access to the interior, a composter bin located within the interior and in communication with the access opening, and a user operated door slidably mounted to the housing and electrically powered to automatically slide along a sliding path between opened and closed position.

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.

Embodiments of the disclosure can include cinches, receptacles, and associated methods. In one embodiment, a cinch can include a base member configured to be attached to a body of a receptacle, a first member that can be substantially parallel to the base member, and a second member that can extend outwardly from the base member and is substantially transverse to the first member, wherein the inner surfaces of the base, first, and second members can define a handle. A slot for retaining a flexible liner can extend from the inner to the outer surface of the first member and a through-hole in the second member can be configured to receive the flexible liner.

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.

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.

A system for aircraft waste includes an aircraft waste bin compartment configured to receive a waste bin. An aircraft waste bin is operatively associated with the compartment to be stored in and removed from the compartment. A liner as is secured to an interior surface of the compartment with the liner opening aligned with an opening of the compartment for admitting the waste bin into the liner and compartment. The lines the aircraft waste bin compartment to protect the compartment from waste. The liner is configured to admit the waste bin into and out of the liner and compartment.

A garbage-can-type dust collecto includes a housing assembly, an inner barrel body for mounting or fixing a garbage bag, and a draught fan for driving airflow movement such that dust enters the garbage bag. The inner barrel body is detachably mounted on the housing assembly, the inner barrel body is provided with an accommodating chamber, and the garbage bag arranged in the accommodating chamber divides the accommodating chamber into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The gas extraction hole is communicated to the wind chamber and the upper chamber, the inner barrel body is provided with a gas suction port for extracting air in the lower chamber when the draught fan is in operation, and the gas suction port communicates the wind chamber to the lower chamber. The present disclosure has the beneficial effect of effectively preventing a garbage bag from blowing up.

Devices, systems, and methods for covering containers are disclosed herein. Embodiments thereof include a cover member, a support assembly, and a retainer assembly. The cover member having each of top and bottom edges and first and second lateral sides, together defining a cover member body having upper, middle, and lower portions. The cover member is configured both to be supported by a container and to adjustably wrap around at least a portion of the container to conceal the portion from a point of view. The support assembly is configured both to removably attach the cover member to the container and to adjust a vertical position of the cover member relative to the container, thereby positioning the cover member at the container, allowing adjustment of the cover member's tautness around the container. The retainer assembly is configured to secure and to adjust and maintain the cover member's tautness around the container.
