A container for waste collection includes: a containment body having a collection compartment and a top opening for delivering waste into the collection compartment; a door movably connected to the containment body for selectively opening or closing the opening; a mask interposed between the collection compartment and the door when the door is in a first operating condition in which it closes the opening, the mask having at least one mouth for delivering waste into the collection compartment. The mask is permanently fixed to the containment body so that it defines a slit between an upper edge of the mask and the containment body, the slit being adapted to permit the passage of the door, wherein the door is constrained to the containment body by an actuator that allows the door to alternately switch from a first operating condition in which it closes the load opening to a second operating condition in which it opens the load opening.
A container for differentiated waste collection, the container comprising:—a containment body, within which there is at least one collection compartment, the containment body being provided with at least one top opening for delivering waste into the collection compartment, the at least one top opening having an upper end and an opposing lower end, the containment body also including a bottom opening located at a bottom part of the containment body through which waste in the collection compartment is emptied;—a door having a front face extending between an upper end and an opposing lower end and laterally extending between opposing sides, the door being movably connected to the containment body for selectively opening or closing the at least one top opening and allowing or inhibiting access to the collection compartment;—a second door that selectively opens and closes the bottom opening located at the bottom part of the containment body;—a mask having an arched portion that extends from a lower end disposed toward the lower end of the at least one top opening to an opposing upper end disposed toward the upper end of the at least one top opening, the upper end of the mask terminating at an upper edge, the mask being entirely disposed within the containment body so that the upper end of the mask is elevated higher than the lower end of the mask when the container is upstanding, the mask being interposed between the collection compartment and the door when the door is in a first operating condition in which the door closes the at least one top opening, the mask comprising at least one mouth extending through the arched portion of the mask for delivering waste into the collection compartment, wherein the mask has opposing lateral sides disposed at opposing ends of the upper edge, the opposing lateral sides being securely fixed to the containment body so that an elongated slit is bound between the upper edge of the mask and the containment body, a portion of the door being disposed within the slit when the door is in the first operating condition, wherein the door is constrained to the containment body by an actuator that comprises:
