ABSTRACT:
A recycling container is provided with an outer container formed with a flase bottom for supporting four inner containers for respectively receiving three different recyclables and the regular garbage of a family's refuse. The inner containers, which are of different sizes, have shapes complementary to the outer container and each other to make for a compact arrangement. Below the false bottom, the outer container houses a drawer of dimensions adequate to hold the family's newspapers received between pickup collections. Of course, the recycling container is sized so as to hold the different elements of the family's refuse between collections. The largest of the inner containers may be essentially a semi-cylinder to contain the regular garbage. A cover having two portions pivotally interconnected by a life hinge, may be placed on the outer container so that one portion overlies the inner container that is a semi-cylinder and the other portion overlies the other three inner containers. Extensions on the cover facilitate lifting its portions. Embossments having recesses with finger indents and molded on the outer container facilitate handling the recycling container. Openings in the sides of the inner containers facilitate their handling. A recess having finger indents and molded in the face of the drawer facilitates its handling.
