Abstract
An in-ground apparatus includes a receptacle and a molded plastic liner into which it is placed. The liner has a tapering body to permit stacking. The lower margin includes a set of seats for anchor fittings in the form of re-bar prongs that, when installed, extend radially outwardly from the liner. The prongs, are located upwardly of the bottom edge of the liner so that they are embedded above and below when concrete is poured around the bottom of the liner. The bottom edge of the liner is folded upwardly and inwardly to form a V-shaped channel. The anchor fittings seats include a cylindrical wall sealed from the inside of the liner. The top of the liner may have a seat for the receptacle, a rim, and an external concrete frost break extending around the rim. The rim has reinforcing blisters.
