A refuse container latch for use with large refuse containers or dumpsters having outwardly extending protrusions. Preferably, the latch comprises a pivotally mounted latch plate, a substantially vertical support plate, and a power supply, the power supply preferably comprising a hydraulic piston-cylinder arrangement. The hydraulic piston-cylinder arrangement is attached to the latch plate, and rotates the latch plate from an open position to a closed position where the latch plate is substantially vertical and substantially parallel to the support plate. In the closed position, the protrusions are confined to a channel defined by the latch plate and the support plate.
