Collapsible and resuable recyclable waste disposal receptacle

摘要

A waste disposal receptacle comprising a receptacle body and a lid. The receptacle body has a bottom and four side walls which may be formed from one unitary blank or a pair of interconnected blanks. The side walls may be scored to be folded flat in either a square parallelogram configuration or a hexagonal configuration. The side walls define trapezoidal apertures through which weights such as sand bags, bricks, or boards may be placed onto the bottom to weigh down and stabilize the waste disposal receptacle. Two of the opposing side walls define upwardly projecting ridges that are received through correspondingly aligned slots in the lid, the ridges and lid holding a thin plastic bag within the waste disposal container in an upright and open position. The lid may define one or more waste receiving openings particularly designed for recyclable waste, such as a pair of circular openings for receiving metal cans and glass bottles. The receptacle body and lid are preferably constructed from a double-faced corrugated plastic sheet material.
