ABSTRACT:
A trash container (10) includes a base container portion (11) and a cover (12). The base container portion (11) includes a front wall (15), a rear wall (16) and two side walls (13, 14) all extending upwardly from a bottom surface (17) to an upper rim (19) defining an open top (18). The side wall (13) is provided with outboard ribs (24, 25) having inboard beads (26, 27) thereon. The other side wall (14) is provided with inboard ribs (30, 31) having outboard beads (32, 33) thereon. The beads (26, 27) engage the beads (32, 33) of a like container (10A) to attach the container (10) to the like container (10A).
The cover (12) has a peripheral rim made up of a front U-shaped ledge (40) and a rear U-shaped ledge (43). A generally horizontal opening (49) is formed within the rear U-shaped ledge (43) and a trash receiving ramp (50) is positioned below the opening (49). A hood (53) extends upwardly from the front U-shaped ledge (40) and defines a second opening (52) which extends partially above the opening (49). Trash placed on ramp (50) will thus pass through the opening (52) and into the base container portion (11).
