Ergonomic and efficient trash and recycling receptacle

An ergonomic and efficient garbage and recycling receptacle, comprising:

• a hollow cuboid bin for depositing garbage or recycling material, having four vertical side walls, and each vertical side wall having an upper area, a middle area, and a bottom area;
• a handlebar located at the upper area of the bin of one vertical side wall;
• two wheels located at the bottom area of the bin, positioned adjacent to each other and are attached to each other by an axle;
• and the wheels being on the same vertical side wall as the handlebar;
• a crossbar positioned at the middle area of the bin, and located on a vertical side wall that is opposite from the two wheels and axle;
• and
• a lid attached to the bin by hinges that are located on the upper area of the bin and on the vertical side wall that is perpendicular to the vertical wall that contains the handlebar and perpendicular to the vertical side wall containing the crossbar, allowing the lid to open away from the perpendicular vertical side walls of the bin that contain the handlebar and the crossbar;
• and
• a first hook and loop fastener, positioned on the lid and a second hook and loop fastener positioned on the vertical side wall of the bin where the hinges are located, whereby when the bin is manually opened by a user, the top of the lid is securely connected to the bin by the hook and loop fasteners that grip together and the bin remains completely opened until the first hook and loop fastener and the second hook and loop fastener are manually detached by a user;
• and
• when the crossbar is engaged by a mechanical arm of a waste collection vehicle for the disposal of waste, the lid remains securely connected to the bin by the hook and loop fasteners that grip together until manually detached by a user closing the bin.
