ABSTRACT:
A refuse collection apparatus for segregation of recyclable materials and the like includes an outer container body which receives a plurality of inner complimentary receptacle units. Each receptacle unit includes recessed handle members at the upper edge thereof to facilitate removal from the outer container and a lower handle portion at the opposite end of the unit for convenient carrying and dumping of the unit. In one embodiment, a wire support frame is fitted within the rim of the outer container body to support lip portions of the receptacle units. In another embodiment, a receptacle tray is provided to rest within the container body on the receptacle units for collecting stackable recyclable materials such as newspaper, while only partially covering the access openings to the receptacle units for permitting deposit of refuse therein without removing the tray. In a third embodiment a partition wall divides the interior container area into two collection chambers, one being provided with receptacle units and a tray for segregated recyclable collection while the other is utilizable for non-recyclable collection. A pivoted cover for the recyclable chamber enables automated inversion and dumping of the other chamber.
