ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed for collection of refuse comprising a container body defining an interior receiving area and having a first end defining an access opening into the interior receiving area. A second end of the container body is closed and has a region which is exposed to excessive wear during use. The container also has at least one wear resistent element removably and replaceably attached to the container body over at least a portion of the wear region to form a primary wear surface, thereby protecting the wear region and extending the useful life of the apparatus. The wear resistent element may be formed of plastic and may be a glass filled nylon plastic. The second end of the container body may have a corner with the wear region comprising the corner. The wear resistent element may be attached to the container body adjacent the corner. The second end of the container body may have two corners at opposite sides of the container body and the each of the wear resistent elements may be attached to each corner. The container body may be formed with at least one aperture adjacent the wear region and the wear resistent element may include at least one complementary protrusion for engagement within the one aperture to secure the wear resistent element to the container body.
