A waste-container conjoining assembly for facilitating moving two waste containers together includes a base. A pair of slots is positioned on a surface of the base. An edge of the base protrudes downward to define a plate. A latch is coupled to an end of the plate. The latch has an upward curvature and fasteners to the handle of a waste container. A fitting has a top with a hidden surface. The top has a pair of slots being similar to the pair of slots of the base. A back edge of the top protrudes downward to define an extension. The hidden surface of the fitting is positioned upon the surface of the base. A pair of screws and a pair of nuts secures the fitting to the base by being inserted into the pair of slots of the fitting and the base.

The apparatus is for use with a refuse container, a refuse bag and a plurality of clips. The container is of the type having a mouth which presents vertically upwardly in use and a rim which defines the entry to the mouth. The bag is of the type having an end portion which defines a mouth of the bag. The apparatus comprises a frame and securement apparatus. The frame, in use, is disposed at an operative position relative to the container and is engaged by the clips to suspend the bag interiorly of the container such that the mouth of the bag is open, presents upwardly and is disposed adjacent the rim of the container. The securement apparatus, in use, holds the frame at the operative position.

A modular receptacle system for storing refuse or recyclable materials, the modular receptacle system comprising a plurality of collapsible bins, a given one of the plurality of bins comprising a base, two opposing exposed side walls, each of the opposing exposed side walls including a bottom edge that allows the opposing exposed side wall to open or fold at a joint edge attached to the base, and two opposing folding side walls, the opposing folding side walls operable to detract or retract at least a portion of the opposing folding side walls from a recess in conjunction with an opening or folding of the opposing exposed side walls at the joint edge, the base and the opposing folding side walls including a mid-section fold that allows the base and folding side walls to open and fold at the mid-section fold, and a plurality of attachment devices that modularly couple the plurality of collapsible bins.

A modular waste disposal or recycling container and modular container system are disclosed. The container includes a base and one or more sidewalls extending upwardly from the base. The base and the one or more sidewalls together define an interior space for receiving waste or recyclables. A sidewall of the one or more sidewalls comprises one or more sockets, and each of the one or more sockets is capable of removably receiving a respective one of a magnet, a ferromagnetic insert and a plug with a cap that covers the socket. The modular container system includes at least two containers, one having magnetic properties on a first sidewall and the other having ferromagnetic properties on a second sidewall. When placed adjacent to each other, the first and second sidewalls releasably adhere to each other.

A collapsible container comprising a frame with a plurality of vertical members connected by pairs of crossed members. Each pair of cross members are pivotally connected at their approximate centers by a pivot pin. The upper and lower ends of the cross members are connected to the vertical members at the foot position and to appropriate slide-able connector, which are attached to the vertical members. A skirt encircles the top of the vertical members. Extending from the skirt can be such features as a durable tapered liner to receive trash, a hooded, insulated liner to be used as a cooler, or a laundry bag. The collapsible garbage container folds into a compact space and can be inserted into an appropriately sized bag for transport.

A system for connecting adjacent waste or recycling containers to each other is disclosed. The system includes a bracket and at least one locking member associated with the containers. The bracket is slidable in a first direction to slidably engage the at least one locking member until the bracket reaches a locking position. In the locking position, contact between co-operating surfaces of the at least one locking member and the bracket prevents movement of the bracket in at least a second direction opposite the first direction. A bracket and a locking member for use in a system for connecting two adjacent waste or recycling containers is also disclosed.

The apparatus is for use with a refuse container, a refuse bag and a plurality of clips. The container is of the type having a mouth which presents vertically upwardly in use and a rim which defines the entry to the mouth. The bag is of the type having an end portion which defines a mouth of the bag. The apparatus comprises a frame and securement apparatus. The frame, in use, is disposed at an operative position relative to the container and is engaged by the clips to suspend the bag interiorly of the container such that the mouth of the bag is open, presents upwardly and is disposed adjacent the rim of the container. The securement apparatus, in use, holds the frame at the operative position.

A container has a first container having a hollow interior defined by a base, a top, and a plurality of sidewalls extending there between. A second container attached to the first container. The second container comprises a plurality of collapsible receptacles disposed therein in sequential order, wherein the plurality of collapsible receptacles have an opening; and an aperture extending into an interior of the second container, wherein a perimeter of the opening is removeably attached to the aperture, wherein the aperture retains the opening in an open position.

A trash receptacle with a collapsible construction configured to allow a user to collapse the receptacle and remove each of the pieces to be manually cleaned or washed in a dishwasher. The collapsible garbage container may allow a user to clean their garbage container in the dishwasher by providing a plurality of pieces that are easy to disassemble for purposes of maintaining a clean and sanitary garbage container and to minimize bad odor and insects which may be attracted to the smell of garbage.
