ABSTRACT:
A novel and ergonomic trash receptacle comprises an outer container and an inner trash can. The outer container includes a box-like housing mounted on a pedestal and provided with a lockable closure with the trash can being received in the box-like housing and being in communication with the outside by way of gravity closing doors mounted on the closure such that garbage introduced in the closure through the doors thereof falls into the trash can. The closure can be unlocked and pivoted upwardly to allow city workers to remove and empty the inner trash can. The box-like housing includes a series of vertical side wall assemblies which are mounted one to the other by way of extruded posts provided at the corners of the box-like housing and adapted to slidably receive the side wall assemblies. Each side wall assembly comprises inner and outer panels and an intermediate advertisement sheet therebetween such that when the closure is removed and the locking bars unlocked, the side wall assemblies can be accessed, for instance, to change the advertisement sheet or for panel repair purposes. The inner and outer panels can be made of a translucent material with lighting units being mounted within the box-like housing and to the posts thereof for rearwardly illuminating the advertisement sheet by back-lighting.
