CONTAINER FOR THE COLLECTION OF BIODEGRADABLE KITCHEN RUBBISH This invention relates to a container for the collection of biodegradable kitchen rubbish.
Containers currently used for the collection of biodegradable kitchen rubbish are made from a variety of materials which are not biodegradable, such as plastic and china.
These containers need to be emptied before being washed out for re-use or, in the case of plastic bags, are thrown away.
Moreover, the containers can be unhygienic and unsightly. Biodegradable kitchen rubbish adheres to the surface of the container. Cleaning the container is, therefore, an odious task.

This container is designed to be deposited, as a whole, onto the garden compost when the user deems fit.
A specification showing the invention will now be described by way of examples with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 shows in perspective the box with the lid open.
