ABSTRACT:
A lid locking device for an industrial waste container having a lid and a pair of sleeves capable of receiving the pick-up arms of a vehicle. The device has a plate rotatably disposed adjacent one of the sleeves such that the plate rotates on entry of a pick-up arm into the sleeve and a locking mechanism attached to the lid. A rotating bar with a swinging arm at its top end interconnects the plate and the locking mechanism. Rotation of the plate disengages the locking mechanism. A spring biases the rotating bar to the engaged position. An obstruction in the sleeve helps prevent manual levering of the plate within the sleeve.
