Definitions

  • a receptacle there is disclosed a receptacle.
  • a receptacle for household waste for example a refuse bin such as a wheelie bin.
  • Refuse collection containers or 'wheelie bins' are in common use to hold and transport waste materials from the household to the kerbside for collection. These wheelie bins are typically emptied by a truck with either an arm-like mechanism with jaws, or a comb-like apparatus with a clamp.
  • the established waste management practice is to put mixed waste into one bin and then empty that unsegregated waste into one waste collection lorry.
  • AU 678 918 B2 discloses a compartmentalised wheelie bin for collection and storage of household waste.
  • the compartmentalised wheelie bin does not appear to be suitable for use with existing refuse vehicles.
  • EP 0 634 344 A1 discloses a compartmentalised wheeled bin with a plurality of lids, said lids pivot toward the front of the wheeled bin, and wherein either lid may be locked by a locking member.
  • GB 2 474 874 A discloses a dividing insert with attached lids which pivot toward the sides of the wheeled bin rather than toward the front of the bin.
  • DE 41 23 458 A1 discloses a wheeled bin with a plurality of compartments under a plurality of lids.
  • the compartments may be comprised of a plurality of small bins which are placed inside the wheeled bin. This wheelie bin cannot be emptied using conventional waste management collection vehicles.
  • IE 86119 B1 discloses a wheeled bin having two lids for separate compartments.
  • a receptacle for recyclable waste comprising:
  • An advantage of the receptacle is that the wedge-shaped cross bar acts to prevent waste from getting stuck in the cross bar in use.
  • the wedge-shaped cross bar forms a funnelling surface to deflect waste away from the cross bar as it is emptied from the receptacle.
  • the cross bar is provided with a ridge for receiving and supporting the second lid when the second opening is closed by the second lid.
  • the receptacle is provided with a ridge for receiving and supporting the first lid when the first opening is closed by the first lid.
  • An advantage of the receptacle is that the first and second lids are able to close flush with the open end, to thereby close the receptacle. This reduces the release of odours into the environment from inside the receptacle.
  • the ridges provide seals for the lids which reduce the release of odours into the environment, limit ingress of rain water into the receptacle and limit cross-contamination of waste.
  • the cross bar is provided with a dividing wall extending from the apex towards a base of the body so that the first and second openings define first and second compartments in the receptacle.
  • the dividing wall may be inserted into the receptacle and may be held at the apex of the cross bar using a fastening element.
  • the body may be provided with a number of elongate channels or slots configured to accept and support a portion of a perimeter of the dividing wall.
  • first and second compartments may be sub-divided using additional dividing walls or sub-dividing walls.
  • the sub-dividing walls extend beyond the external walls of the body to form a seal with an underside of the first or the second lid.
  • first and/or the second lid are replaced by first and second sub-lids configured to seal the sub-compartments. Multiple lids may be used to close multiple compartments.
  • the sub-lids are provided with complementary closures configured to couple with a portion of the sub-dividing wall so as to form a sealed sub-compartment that prevents cross-contamination of waste.
  • an attachment element is provided at the open end, the attachment element being configured for compatibility with a refuse vehicle lifting mechanism.
  • the attachment element may be a slot for receiving a hook of the refuse vehicle lifting mechanism.
  • the receptacle is further provided with wheels attached to an axle.
  • the receptacle is further provided with a locking member.
  • the locking member may be arranged to lock either the first lid, the second lid, or both the first and second lids simultaneously.
  • the locking member may be arranged to lock each lid in a closed position or an open position.
  • the locking member may be arranged to lock both lids in a closed position or an open position.
  • a benefit of the locking member is that different compartments may be emptied independently of each other reducing the risk of cross-contamination of waste types.
  • the locking member may be a retractable elongate bar configured to slot into tracks provided in the cross bar and/or in the body.
  • a retro-fit compartmentalising device suitable for a standard wheelie bin, wherein the retro-fit compartmentalising device comprises:
  • the device provides a compartmentalising device able compartmentalise a standard receptacle such as a wheelie bin.
  • the first and second lids are able to close flush with the open end of the wheelie bin to thereby close the bin. This reduces the release of odours into the environment from inside the bin and allows a cost effective and easy means of compartmentalising an existing bin.
  • the cross bar supports the hinged mechanism of the first lid and forms a funnel surface for egress of rubbish during emptying.
  • the compartmentalising device may be provided with an insert for inserting into the standard wheelie bin, wherein the insert includes channels for receiving a dividing wall.
