ABSTRACT:
An installation for accepting, sorting and storing recyclable materials, and providing a convenient method for third party collection. The device is comprised of a depository opening into which the waste materials are entered, a chute along which the materials travel, a series of inclined gate mechanisms which facilitate the segregation of the materials, and a divided storage area featuring a number of bins into which the segregated materials are deposited and stored. The depository is located preferably inside a building in an accessible common area. It is connected to a chute which descends through an exterior wall to connect to the storage area outside. The storage area is divided into a number of bins. The storage area can be configured to meet the requirements of the consumer, that is the number and arrangement of bins is variable. Each bin is accessible through a door on its exterior. Separation occurs inside the storage area where the materials are directed by a series of gate mechanisms into one of the predesignated bins. The storage area is accessible from the exterior, and the bins are removable, thereby facilitating unobtrusive third party collection.
