ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for securing a lid of a trash bin includes a frame couplable to a wall of the trash bin. The frame defines a housing which at least partially encloses moving parts of the locking mechanism. This housing inhibits tampering with the locking mechanism and protects the locking mechanism against exposure to the trash placed in the bin. In addition, the apparatus includes a coupler for holding the housing against the wall of the trash bin so as to prevent unauthorized access from outside the trash bin while permitting an individual locked inside the trash bin to decouple a portion of the frame from the bin to permit the individual to exit the bin.
