- a second hinge mount operatively attached to the cylindrical housing adjacent the open second end;
- each of the first and second hinge mounts positioned so as to correspond with one another, when the container lid is mated with the cylindrical housing, to form a hinge channel for receiving a hinge pin;
- a hinge pin extending through the hinge channel formed by the first and second hinge mounts to facilitate hinged manipulation of the container lid to open and close the open second end of the container;
