ABSTRACT:
A multi-compartment trash container that comprises two main components. An inner core consists of a circular bottom plate with a convex surface sloped downward toward the perimeter of the container and several vertical baffles connected to a common vertical shaft extending upward from the center of the bottom plate, so that wedge-like sections with slanted bottoms are formed around the vertical axis of the container. An outer cover consists of a conforming bottomless cylindrical structure having a top end with openings corresponding to the sections in the inner core and a collar at the center for slidably engaging the top of the vertical shaft in the inner core. Thus, the outer cover is slidably mounted on the inner core to form a container with multiple enclosed compartments and a spring-loaded push-plate is provided at the top of the shaft to push the inner core downward with respect to the outer cover. An outward annular flange attached to the bottom edge of the cylindrical structure provides a base for supporting the outer cover while the inner core is made to slide downward through an appropriately sized hopper to discharge its contents into a collection vehicle. A specially designed handle makes it possible for a mechanized arm on the vehicle to lift the container and correctly align it for positioning on the hopper.
