A refuse container comprising: a container assembly including a bin defining a cavity, a lid rotatably coupled to the bin, and configured for movement, relative to the bin, between an open position providing access to the cavity, and a closed position inhibiting access to the cavity, and a locking mechanism including a latch including a handle, and moveable between a locked lid position and an unlocked lid position, a detent acting between the bin and the lid, and cooperating with the latch so as to effect locking of the lid to the bin when the latch is in the locked lid position, and permit movement of the lid, relative to the bin, from the closed position to the open position when the latch is in the unlocked lid position, wherein the latch is configured to move from the locked lid position to the unlocked lid position in response to application of an unlocking force to the handle, and wherein, when the latch is disposed in the unlocked lid position and the lid is disposed in the closed position, the lid is configured to move from the closed position to the open position in response to an application of a lid-opening force to the handle, and wherein the unlocking force includes a horizontal component and a vertical component, and wherein the lid-opening force includes a horizontal component and a vertical component, and wherein the direction of the horizontal component of the lid-opening force is disposed at an angle of between about 90 degrees and about 270 degrees in a clockwise direction about a vertical axis and relative to the direction of the horizontal component of the unlocking force.
