ABSTRACT:
A refuse container having a hinged lid pivotally supported on the ends of a transverse handle of the container body. The lid is pivotally supported on the handle by two arms extending laterally from the lid and having inwardly facing sockets. Two pins extending outwardly from respective ends of the handle interfit within the sockets of the lid's arms. Proximal portions of the pins are frustoconical, and the sockets are correspondingly widened at their openings. Installation and removal of the lid are accomplished simply by flexure of the lid to increase the distance between the sockets of the lid arms. The container is well suited for use with fully automated, semi-automated, and manual refuse collection systems.
