  • the partition wall 26 may be provided after forming the housing 12, and/or the partition wall 26 may be removable.
  • the partition wall 26 may be selectively positionable to change the volumes.
  • the housing 12 further includes two, typically moulded plastics, hinged lids 30, 32 for respectively closing the two compartments 28 within the housing 12.
  • An upper surface 34 of each lid 30, 32 is ramped upwards towards the hinge 36.
  • the lids 30, 32 have a common pivot axis, but can pivot independently of each other to open and close their respective compartments 28.
  • Each lid 30, 32 includes a narrow front edge 38 to which the ramped upper surface 34 downwardly slopes, a deep rear edge 40 at or adjacent to the hinge 36, and two parallel wedge-shaped side walls 42.
  • An outer one of the side walls 42 includes a lid handle 44 integrally formed as part of the lid 30, 32 by the provision of a moulded recess.

  • the base 14 may include a lip or tongue which also releasably engages with part of the lifting apparatus.
  • Each lid 30, 32 provides sole access to its respective compartment 28, thus preventing unintentional intermixing of refuse.
  • the refuse collector When being emptied, the refuse collector wheels the container 10 to the refuse collection lorry and couples it to the lifting apparatus via the connection means. If the refuse being collected is non-recyclable waste, then the lid 30 to the recyclable waste compartment 28 is locked by the respective detent 46 whilst the lid 32 to the non- recyclable waste is not locked. The lifting apparatus can then invert the container 10, causing only one of the lids 32 to hinge open. The non-recyclable waste is thus emptied into the lorry. A similar process occurs for the other compartment 28 if recyclable waste is being collected.
  • FIG. 3 of the drawings there is shown a second embodiment of a wheeled refuse storage container 10, in accordance with the invention.

  • At least one of the drawers includes a removable access cover having a flexible access portion for the insertion of glass objects.
  • the access cover is substantially rigid and may be, for example, clipped onto the top of one of the drawers to substantially close it. Access is then via the flexible access portion, which can be a concertinaed or gusseted rubber element.

  • the side walls and the rear wall of the housing are preferably flat or planar, and the front wall may be convex.
  • the wheeled refuse storage container can be easily manoeuvred by a refuse collection person to the refuse collection lorry, and then emptied either by lifting apparatus in the case of the first embodiment or by hand in the case of the second embodiment.
  • the multiple compartments, especially in the second embodiment, are perfectly suited for separating different kinds of recyclable refuse. It is thus possible to reduce the used area taken up by separate refuse storage containers by providing a convenient all-in-one wheeled refuse storage container.
