<p>A waste container having an exterior box-shaped frame having an open top, tw o front compartments defined therein, and a rearward compartment defined therein. Each of the two front compartments are designed to house interior containment units which are inserted into eac h of the two front compartments, whereby food waste may be disposed of in one compartment, and plastics, paper and tissue products disposed of in another compartment. Cardboard products may b e disposed of in the rearward compartment. Lids are affixed to an upper surface of the exterior frame for covering the two front compartments, and can each be separately opened by a foot pedal assembly. Rear portions of the lids are angled, so that when any of the lids is in an opened positio n, it will not interfere or block the placement or storage of any cardboard type material in the rearwar d compartment. The foot pedal assembly, which includes a lift arm mechanism, is angled to extend upwardly from a front of the exterior frame to a rear of the exterior frame so as to permit additiona l leverage in opening the lids farther to assist in use of the waste container.</p> |
