<p>An improved trash receptacle is provided according to this invention. This invention is particularly directed to trash containers of the type having a top assembly which attaches to the open perimeter of a container wherein the top assembly pivotably mounts a swinging door which permits access to the interior cavity of the container. The improvement comprises the addition of releasable pivot means permitting the door to be released from its pivotable engagement with the top frame such that the top can be pushed downwardly into the interior cavity of the container by the user, thereby compacting trash material therein. Once the user has completed the compaction step, the door is re-engageable with the top frame.</p> |
