Waste container for spent chewing gum and street furniture including such a waste container

摘要

A spent gum waste container comprises a housing having a top wall 3 with an opening defining a spent gum inlet 4. A ramp 10 of non-stick material such as PTFE and of curvilinear shape leads spent gum into a receptacle 11. The receptacle 11 may be of disposable fire resistant material such as foil. The spent gum container 11 may be mounted by a bracket 30 to a support such as a post. Alternatively a spent gum waste container (50) is mounted to a stand (55) which in turn is secured to a ground engaging mounting sleeve (56), Figure 9. The container has access means such as door 6 hinged at 15 whereby the receptacle 11 can be removed for emptying. Such containers may be provided in recesses in the housing of street furniture for collecting plastics bottles, Figures 13-16.
