CONTAINER FOR WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

摘要

A collapsible container (1) for the storage and transport of waste electrical and / or electronic equipment has at least one tray (17) provided with an array (24) of upwardly projecting resilient locating portions. The tray receives relatively small waste equipment such as electric lamps, mobile telephones or the like in a number of different orientations in which the items will occupy spaces between the locating portions and will be gripped by the locating portions. The container may be collapsible and comprise a top (10), a base member (6), two side walls (2, 5), a back wall (4) and a front wall (3). In an erected state of the container the two side walls, the back wall and the front wall are connected to the top and the base member. An access opening is provided by all or part of the front wall (3) and preferably access is also possible via the top (10). In the collapsed state of the container the top (10) and the base member (6) cooperate, for example being in contact and interlocked together, so as to define a storage space in which are located the walls of the container and the tray. Compartments specifically adapted to receive electric batteries may also be provided.
