ABSTRACT:
A lid fits to the top of a standard 32 gallon garbage container to magnetically intercept tableware out of food trash being entered into the container. The lid presents a "U"-shaped channel or chute, extending toward an aperture sized to permit the food trash to enter into the trash container. Magnets are mounted on the interior of an opposite pair of sidewalls of the aperture to be isolated from direct contact with the food trash. Food trash is deposited upon the chute and then scraped toward the aperture with minimum vertical velocity. While free-falling through the aperture, tableware is attracted and segregated out of food trash and held flat to one of the two opposed sidewalls mounting the magnets.
