Waste Container Apparatus

A waste container apparatus comprising:

• an outer container, an inner container, and a float switch;
• the inner container including a first aperture adapted to allow waste to enter there into in use, a plurality of apertures adapted in use to allow fluid waste to pass therethrough into the outer container while substantially capturing non-fluid waste within the inner container, and being adapted to open in use so that waste can be removed therefrom;
• the outer container adapted to open to allow access to and removal of the inner container therefrom and including an inlet adapted to direct fluid and non-fluid waste from outside the apparatus into the inner container, an outlet adapted to direct fluid waste from the outer container away from the apparatus and an overflow outlet positioned substantially level with the top of the inner container such that in use when waste in the apparatus nears or reaches a maximum capacity it can flow through the overflow outlet;
• and, the float switch comprising a float plate or pivot arm provided at or adjacent a top of the inner container and a switch provided in the outer container such that in use when the waste within the apparatus nears or reaches a maximum capacity, the float plate or pivot arm floats up to engage with the switch to disable a waste disposal unit when connected to the waste container apparatus in use.

A waste container apparatus comprising:

• an outer container, an inner container, a substantially vertical inlet tube and a float switch;
• the inner container including a plurality of apertures adapted in use to allow fluid waste to pass therethrough into the outer container while substantially capturing non-fluid waste within the inner container, a lid including a waste deflection umbrella adapted to in use sit substantially directly above and in line with the inlet tube and to direct waste from the inlet tube in a downward and outward direction into the inner container, and being adapted to open in use so that waste can be removed therefrom;
• the outer container adapted to open to allow access to and removal of the inner container therefrom and including an inlet adapted to direct fluid and non-fluid waste from outside the apparatus into the inner container, an outlet adapted to direct fluid waste from the outer container away from the apparatus;
• and, the float switch comprising a float plate provided in the lid of the inner container and a switch present in the lid of the outer container, such that in use when the waste within the apparatus nears or reaches a maximum capacity, the float plate floats up to engage with the switch to disable a waste disposal unit when connected to the waste container apparatus in use.

A waste container apparatus comprising:

• an outer container, an inner container, and a float switch;
• the inner container including a first aperture adapted in use to allow waste to enter there into, a direct fluid waste conduit substantially vertically aligned in use beneath the first aperture to allow fluid waste to pass directly therethrough into the outer container, a plurality of apertures adapted to in use allow fluid waste to pass therethrough into the outer container while substantially capturing non-fluid waste within the inner container, and being adapted to open in use so that waste can be removed therefrom;
• the outer container adapted to open to allow access to and removal of the inner container therefrom and including an inlet substantially aligned with the first aperture of the inner container and being adapted to in use direct fluid and non-fluid waste from outside the apparatus into the inner container, an outlet adapted to in use direct fluid waste from the outer container away from the apparatus and an overflow outlet positioned substantially level with a top of the inner container such that in use when waste in the apparatus nears or reaches a maximum capacity it may flow through the overflow outlet;
• and, the float switch comprising a float plate or pivot arm provided at the top of the inner container and a switch provided in the outer container such that in use when the waste within the apparatus nears or reaches a maximum capacity, the float plate or pivot arm floats up to engage with the switch to disable a waste disposal unit when connected to the waste container apparatus in use.
