The present invention discloses a refuse container lid and hinge assembly, which comprises two angled members, two lid members, and two hinge rods. The angled members are attached to a refuse container and further comprise an attachment portion, a stop portion, and a plurality of knuckles. The lid members each comprise a crumple region and a support region. The crumple regions and support regions cooperatively allow the lid members to withstand planar and nonplanar compressive forces. The support regions each further comprise a plurality of U-shaped support ribs, which effect a patterned series of sloped superior surfaces and a patterned series of sloped inferior surfaces. The hinge rods hingedly connect the lids to the angled members. The ranges of pivotal motion are limited between a closed position and an open position wherein stop structures of the lid members contact the angled members thus restricting the lid members from pivoting more than a preferred number of degrees.
