ABSTRACT:
A refuse container has a lid and a pair of handles, and each handle is mounted to pivot between a closed position for holding the lid on the container and an open position for removing the lid from the container. Each handle has two legs spaced apart from each other, and a locking bar is coupled between the two legs and permitted to slide along the legs between a locked position for locking the handle in the closed position to prevent access into the container, and an unlocked position for opening the handle to remove the lid. The locking bar is received within a U-shaped clamp in the locked position to retain the locking bar in the locked position. In another embodiment, the locking bar is received within a recess for retaining the locking bar in the locked position. A U-shaped handle is coupled to the locking bar to move the locking bar between the locked and unlocked positions.
