Abstract

A bin for the disposal of cigarettes or the like, comprises an outer housing (10) defining a lower chamber (14) and an upper chamber (13). An inner container (17) in the lower chamber (14) of the housing (10) retains the discarded waste. The container (17) has an opening (19) for receipt of discarded waste and the housing (10) has at least one aperture (27) through which waste is discarded. The inner container (17) is disposed below the aperture (27). A first baffle (20) in the container (17) restricts the opening (19) in the container (17) and serves as a chute to direct discarded waste into the container interior. A second baffle (29) is positioned in the housing (10) above the container (17) and the first baffle (20), and between the opening (19) and the aperture (27). The second baffle (29) prevents any smoke that egresses from the opening (19) of the container (17) towards the aperture (27), guides said smoke toward the upper chamber (13) and restricts oxygen from entering the container to feed a fire. The container may be retained in place by a magnet (45).
