Description of the invention

The device that is recommended has been conceived to solve the problem described above and enable selective collection and temporary storage of waste domestic or produced on site, until the transfer of same to the common collection points closest to the living place.

More specifically, the device of the invention it is planned to form one more module of the furniture of a kitchen, constituting a built-in module under the sink, comprising a series of independent compartments for reception of the different types of waste that are currently classified, such as paper and cardboard; metal containers and plastics; glass; organic waste; as well as batteries and oils, of so that these last two products access a container and a container, respectively, located at the top of the glass compartments, although they could be located in correspondence with another or other compartments.

The module is mounted with a tilting character, the pivot point being in the lower front, counting on guiding means in said tilting, determined by arched side guides.

In forward tilt, by traction manual of a handle located on the front of the module, is produced Automatic and also tilting opening of the closing lid upper, said automatic opening being carried out by means of a tension element such as a cord or the like linked to the own lid

In each compartment a bag of reception of waste and then be able to carry these in the corresponding bag to the commented containers established in the public thoroughfare through the corresponding municipal agency.

The advantages and functional efficiencies of device are obvious in view of the features referred, being able to mention among others the following:

-

Classification or separation of the different types of waste originating in the homes or homes.

-

Temporary storage of classified waste, for later deposited in periodic collection containers that the city council implants in public roads.

-

A minimum occupancy since it is implanted under the sink without protruding, using said space that is usually wasted, forming one more module of kitchen furniture.

-

Comfort for the user since its location under the sink is usually the place closer to the generation of most of the waste domestic.
