Waste receptacle

An apparatus for collecting swept debris, comprising:

• a dustpan configured to receive and contain debris, the dustpan including:
• a base configured to be placed in contact with a surface to be cleaned, the base having a front lip over which debris can be swept into the dustpan;
• and
• a wall extending upwardly from at least a portion of the base other than the front lip, the wall configured to contain debris in the dustpan;
• a handle coupled to the dustpan and configured to allow a user to place the base in contact with the surface to be cleaned;
• and
• a tooth assembly having a plurality of protrusions on a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface configured to secure the tooth assembly to the wall so that the plurality of protrusions extend from the wall, the plurality of protrusions configured to remove debris from bristles of a broom when the broom is swept across the plurality of protrusions.

An apparatus for collecting swept debris comprising:

• a dustpan configured to receive and contain debris, the dustpan including:
• a base configured to be placed in contact with a surface to be cleaned, the base having a front edge over which debris can be swept into the dustpan;
• and
• a wall extending upwardly from at least a portion of the base other than the front edge, the wall at least partially configured to contain debris in the dustpan;
• and
• a tooth assembly removably coupleable to the dustpan, the tooth assembly having a plurality of protrusions configured to remove debris from bristles of a broom when the broom is swept across the plurality of protrusions.

• and
• a tooth assembly having a plurality of protrusions on a first surface and plurality of projections on a second surface, the plurality of projections configured to frictionally engage at least a portion of the wall and secure the tooth assembly to the wall so that the plurality of protrusions are configured to remove debris from bristles of a broom when the broom is swept across the plurality of protrusions.

A dustpan configured to receive and contain swept debris, the dustpan comprising:

• a base configured to be placed in contact with a surface to be cleaned, the base having a front edge over which debris can be swept into the dustpan;
• a wall extending upwardly from at least a portion of the base other than the front edge, the wall at least partially configured to contain debris in the dustpan;
• and
• a removable insert having a plurality of substantially planar protrusions disposed on a first surface, the removable insert having a second surface configured to selectively engage the dustpan so that the plurality of substantially planar protrusions extend from the wall and are oriented substantially perpendicular to the base, the plurality of substantially planar protrusions configured to remove debris from bristles of a broom when the broom is swept across the plurality of substantially planar protrusions.
