ABSTRACT:
A waste handling container includes a container body with a top and an opening defined therein, the opening having opposite sides; a lid adapted to cover and seal shut the opening; and, a lid control assembly for supporting and guiding the lid and enabling the lid to be moved between a horizontal, closed position covering and sealing the opening and a vertical, open position away from the opening and pivoted to either side of the container body. The lid control assembly includes a pair of guide rails mounted to the container body along opposing sides of the opening, and includes a pair of roller hinge mechanisms mounted to the lid and adapted to correspondingly engage with the guide rails and allow the lid to slide laterally along the top of the container body and to hingedly pivot at either of opposite edges of the container body. The guide rails are mounted to the container body for vertical reciprocation and each includes a pair of suspension units for biasing the guide rails in the up position. Sealing channel extends around the periphery of the lid and contains gasket material adapted to engage with an upstanding sealing flange surrounding the opening of the container body. A longitudinal bulbous edge extends upwardly and outwardly from the sealing channel and is adapted to engage with pull down clamps mounted to the container body.
