ABSTRACT:
A refuse container is disclosed for use in both storage and transportation of accumulated refuse. The container body is an elongated cylindrical member having a rectangular cross section. The container includes a horizontally hinged tailgate having a vertically slidable portion which opens to admit refuse into the container interior. The tailgate lower edge is provided with a latching means which cooperates with cooperating connector means carried by the container frame. An over-center latching mechanism maintains engagement between the latching means and the connector means and includes a latching yoke which prevents inadvertent unlatching of the tailgate. The second end of the container is generally open and has a transverse bulkhead which is slidable between the container ends. As the container is filled, the transverse bulkhead recedes from the tailgate end and provides a controlled resistance against material being compressed in the container. The sliding bulkhead cooperates with longitudinally extending guides in the container interior and has releasable friction pads which provide a controlled frictional resistance force. The friction pads are released during movement of the bulkhead towards the tailgate during container emptying.
