ABSTRACT:
A trash bin lid-locking device used to secure the lids of a trash bin against unauthorized use. The lid-locking device, which may be used for different types of trash bins, uses two flexible cables connected to two elongated locking members that slide on an elongated track support attached to the front of the trash bin. The locking members may be slid apart allowing the cables to be fit over the front corners and lids of the trash bin. The ends of the cables are then engaged to slotted brackets attached to the sides of the trash bin and the locking members are slid together and secured by a padlock. The cables may be removed from on top of the lids allowing authorized use of the trash bin by unlocking the padlock and sliding the locking members apart until sufficient slack is provided in the cables to allow the cables to be removed. Another embodiment of the lid-locking device uses a single cable that may be placed over the top of the lids. The cable passes through a loop of cable attached to the front wall of the trash bin and the ends of the cable are padlocked to brackets at the sides of the trash bin. Springs are provided at the ends of the cable for the purpose of holding the cable tight around the trash bin during dumping operations.
