ABSTRACT:
A trash collection unit for mounting within a fence or the like which may surround a residence includes a receptacle having an elongated housing having two opposite ends and front and rear doors connected to the housing for closing the ends thereof. The rear door provides access to the interior of the receptacle for placement of trash therein, and the front door provides access to the receptacle interior for removal of trash therefrom. The unit further includes one tension member permitting the front and rear doors to be simultaneously locked in their closed positions at the rear of the unit, and another tension member permits the rear door, by itself, to be locked in its closed position. The unit protects trash placed therein from rifling and/or pilferage, and when mounted in a fence, the unit obviates any need for an individual to walk outside of the fence for rendering his trash accessible to a garbage collector.
