ABSTRACT:
A retriever and a cart that are detachably secured to one another are used for retrieving and transporting, respectively, heavy containers of the type found in trash compactors. A pair of biased looking bolts hold the retriever and container together when they are in repose. The locking bolts are retracted by squeezing a latch release handle positioned just below the retriever handle so that the cart and retriever can be easily separated from one another. The cart has curved leading surfaces so that the two parts can be reattached by simply pushing them together; the curved surfaces drive the locking bolts into their respective retracted positions so that the latch release handle need not be activated during the reattachment procedure. Another biased latch holds the retrieved containers onto the retriever and is released upon activation of a foot-operated pedal; the pedal is biased and specifically configured so that attachment of the retriever and container is accomplished in the absence of foot pedal operation. The container itself is specifically configured so that tightly compacted trash falls out of it when it is inverted, and the cart is specifically configured so that it retains the containers when it is inverted. A trash receptacle having the capacity to similarly retain a plurality of containers when inverted is also provided.
