A waste container having a body and a lid pivotably connected to the body. The lid includes a gravity activated locking mechanism having a latch that engages the lid to the body when the container is in an upright position. The locking mechanism rotates to disengage the latch and allow the lid to open when the container is inverted for dumping the waste. The waste container further including a slideable member that is engageable with a locking member when the container is not in an upright position or inverted for dumping, to prevent rotation of the locking mechanism and opening of the lid. The container further including a deactivation system to prevent the lid from locking when the container is upright.

A method of quick and easy diaper management by providing a collar ring on the upper rim of a garbage bag, such that the collar ring snugly fits over a diaper pail.

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.

A pneumatic trash can having a built-in air blower system is provided. The air blower system facilitates ease of placement and removal of a flexible trash bag within the trash can. The blower system is designed to evacuate air from the interior of the trash can and to blow air into the interior of the trash can.

A film-supporting device is used with a waste-disposal unit. The device comprises an annular body. The annular body has an annular wall. The inward radial surface of the wall defines a central opening of the body. The outline of the central opening in a transverse plane of the device has variable diametrical dimensions with a first diameter of greater dimension than the second diameter. The outline has two of the first diameter of generally equal dimension and two of the second diameter of generally equal dimension. The device has tubular film about an outward radial surface of the annular body. A free annular end is dispensed outwardly from the annular wall. The free annular end is closed to form a bag. The opening of the bag is accessible through the central opening and is of optimized shape via the central opening for the disposal of waste. A method for disposing of waste on a scooping tool is also provided.

A pushing type lid 20 of a container is pivotally supported adjacent to an upper edge wall of an opening 2 of width smaller than width of a front board 1BF of a box body 1B and adapted to be manually pushed inwards so as to be opened and to be automatically closed when a hand is released from the lid 20 and there is provided a pair of hand and/or finger catch prevention wall member 50 to prevent a hand and/or fingers from being caught between the lid 20 and the wall face of the opening 2.
