RECEPTACLE AND CART FOR REMOVAL OF DOMESTIC REFUSE

摘要

A device (20) for e.g. waste sorted at source comprises at least one receptacle (21) for collection of the waste and at least one cart (6) for subsequent removal of it from the receptacle (21). This is placed so high above floor level (25) that the cart (6) can freely be positioned below the receptacle (21) for discharge. The bottom of the receptacle (21) is a pivotable trapdoor (1), which can be locked in the closed position by means of a locking mechanism (3, 17, 18), which is released when the cart (6) is run into position below the receptacle (21) so that the trapdoor (1) pivots downwardly. The receptacle (21) discharges by gravity directly into the cart (6), following which the trapdoor (1) is lifted and closed by the front edge (9) on the cart (6) when this is pulled back. The waste collectors are hereby relieved of the previous physically strenuous, back-breaking and injurious work of handling the relatively heavy waste containers or cassettes.
