ABSTRACT:
A trash bin may be provided with one or more lids which are made of plastic or flexible metal material. These lids are provided with locking arrangements toward the front center portion of each lid which mate with corresponding adjacent locking mechanisms on the trash bin. A rigid, plastic reinforcing rod is provided within the lid toward its front edge and extending outwardly toward the front corners of the lid to prevent the lid being flexed or bent and opened, notwithstanding the locking mechanism. The center of the reinforcing rod may be secured at the inner center toward the front of the lid to a reinforcing plate which may in turn be secured to the locking mechanism on the outside of the lid. The locking mechanism may include a plurality of locks, in order to permit separate access by more than one party. In addition, the locking mechanisms may be arranged to snap into the locked position, so that a key actuation is not required for locking.
