ABSTRACT:
A lid for a refuse container which is structured to provide a work platform thereover. The lid includes a platform member which is configured to coverably span the mouth of a refuse container and over-extend therearound in cantilever fashion. The platform member is generally planar, having an upper surface and an opposite lower surface, and is dimensioned, in consonance with the material thereof, to provide a stable work platform at the upper surface when the lower surface is placed coveringly upon the mouth of a refuse container. The lid further includes an interface member which projects substantially perpendicular from the lower surface to thereby either snappingly or frictionally engage the sidewall of the refuse container at its mouth. The perimeter of the platform member at the upper side thereof is provided with a raised lip for restraining loose articles from inadvertently robing off, or otherwise falling from, the upper surface. A receptacle seat to be provided in the upper surface of the platform member and for a pivotally connected handle to be seatably receivable therein, whereby the handle is pivotable so as to be disposed flush with the upper surface when not in use. The refuse container may be conventional or be uniquely structured for use with the lid.
