ABSTRACT:
An improved method and apparatus for the disposal of noxious and hot kitchen waste using a reusable, sealable top structure detachably fixed in a discarded paper half-gallon consumer grade liquid container. Once the carton has been emptied of the milk or juice, it is prepared by removing two extended tabs and slightly trimming a third side, thus giving the carton a uniform upper edge. A top is provided to seal the odors in. The top has a lip that wraps around the top carton on all sides providing a seal between the carton and the top structure. The body of the top acts to hold the carton open for the insertion of scrap material. The body has a lid connected thereto by a hinge providing a trap-door to seal in the odors. This lid preferably has an o-ring wrapped around its periphery providing a seal between the lid and the insert. The lid is further provided with a handle or knob to facilitate its opening and closing.
