ABSTRACT:
A refuse container has a two-position lid. The two positions are achieved by means of a J-shaped slot in a lid hinge. The slot receives a horizontal shaft supported in the container body. In the first open position, gravity acts on the lid such that the shaft is at one end of the slot, and the lid hinge abuts a pad on the container body for maintaining the lid at an angle of approximately 105.degree. from a horizontal closed position. To pivot the lid to the second open position, the lid is lifted such that the slot slides over the shaft until the hinge clears the container body pad, at which point the lid is pivotable to approximately 270.degree. with respect to the horizontal closed position.
