ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a versatile double actuation lid assembly for commercial trash containers of the type having a main rear generally rectangular volume and a slanted front opening making a predetermined acute angle with respect to the horizontal. The front and rear sections of this lid have aligned lower edge surfaces for resting on the edges of the containers front openings. Each of the lid sections is formed of two spaced layers of plastic material. A means for pivotally actuating the lid sections together, including hinge lugs on each lid section extending towards the other, a pivot bar extending through openings in these hinge lugs, and an actuating lever for pivotally actuating the lid sections together. The clearance angle between the upper surfaces of the front and rear lid sections is sufficient so that the lid may be opened to a stable position slightly beyond the vertical while the rear lid section remains fully closed, for the deposit of small items of trash.
