ABSTRACT:
A dumpster-type trash container is disclosed in which the bottom wall and the lower portion of the side walls are formed of a heavier gauge material to eliminate premature corrosion failures. In the illustrated embodiment, the lower portions of the side walls that are formed of a heavier material are inclined up from the bottom wall to a junction with the side walls above the level of liquid normally contained within the dumpster. The vertical corners are also inclined to reduce the tendency for trash to stick within the container when it is inverted for dumping. Further, the fork receiving sleeves are flared at their forward ends to provide reinforced camming surfaces to guide the forks into the sleeves and to protect the dumpster from damaging impact with the forks. The covers are provided with a latching system to retain the covers in a fully opened position to prevent accidental closure and damage to users. Such latching system is automatically released when the dumpster is inverted for dumping and remains in its released position as the dumpster is returned to its normal upright position. Two different size dumpsters are also disclosed in which the smaller dumpster can be nested within a larger dumpster for more efficient shipping.
