ABSTRACT:
A refuse device includes a cover which can be locked to the container of the device by rotating the cover on the container. The cover includes a top portion, a collar extending downwardly from the top portion, and two tabs attached to the collar, spaced apart from the top portion, located opposite each other, and extending inwardly from the collar. The container includes a sidewall terminating in an upper edge, a closed bottom attached to the sidewall opposite the upper edge, an outwardly extending rim attached to the upper edge of the sidewall, and an upwardly extending lip attached to the rim opposite the sidewall. The lip includes two diametrically opposite channels through which the tabs move when the cover is placed on or removed from the container. The lip also includes six groove, two of which flank the first channel, two of which flank the second channel, and two of which are positioned intermediate the first and second channels. The latches rest within the two intermediate groove when the cover is first placed on the container. The latches rest in two of the grooves flanking the channels when the cover is locked to the container. In this locked position, the cover cannot be lifted from the container, and resists rotation on the container.
