ABSTRACT:
A unitary injection-molded plastic refuse collection box is adapted to reduce back strain during lifting. The box has a bottom and a generally rectangular side wall. A handle extends circumferentially about the side wall external to the compartment. The handle has a uniform inverted L-shaped cross-section, the cross-sectional dimensions of the handle being sufficient to permit a person to insert his fingers between the handle and the associated side wall to the second joints of his fingers. The upper handle portion has a lowermost terminating portion defining an expanded, downwardly-facing convex surface which comfortably engages the fingers. The user can grip the handle on opposing sides of the box with one hand adjacent to one corner of the box and his other hand adjacent to a diagonally opposite corner. The bottom is configured to avoid freezing to pavement with leakage of contained liquids. Portions of the bottom are deflected downwardly to define internal liquid-trapping recesses and corresponding outer projections separated by flow channels. A plurality of drainage apertures are provided and fluid discharge in the flow channels escapes through open channel ends at the side wall.
