ABSTRACT:
A lid assembly for a refuse container includes a lid member pivotally attached to the upper surface of the refuse container, a lid prop and a mechanism for pivotally attaching the lid prop to the container. The lid member includes a cam-shaped lobe which contacts the upper surface of the container when the lid member is in an open position limiting the range of pivoting motion of the lid member. The lid member further includes a bottom surface and a front surface. When pivoted to a lid supporting position, a lid supporting surface of the lid prop contacts the bottom surface of the lid member and a flange of the lid prop faces the front surface of the lid member. The lid prop is pivotally coupled to the refuse container such that gravity forces the flange toward the front surface of the lid member when the container is in its upright position.
