Systems for transporting and collecting waste

A system for transporting and collecting waste, comprising:

• a movable receptacle configured to translocate from a first position to a second position and from the second position to the first position;
• a vacuum system associated with the movable receptacle, wherein the vacuum system comprises:
• a motor for generating suction;
• and
• a power source connector associated with the motor, the power source connector configured to provide power to the motor when the power source connector is associated with a power source, the power source connector comprising:
• a connection terminus at a distal end of the power source connector;
• and
• a stem comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is associated with the connection terminus, wherein the second end is associated with the motor, and wherein the stem defines a conduit through which power is transmitted to the motor when the power source connector is associated with the power source,
• wherein the power source connector is fixedly attached to the movable receptacle and associates with the power source to transmit power to the motor when the movable receptacle is in the first position, and
• wherein the power source connector dissociates with the power source and interrupts power to the motor when the movable receptacle moves away from the first position.

A system for transporting and collecting waste, comprising:

• a waste disposal bay comprising an opening;
• a movable receptacle configured to translocate from a first position to a second position and from the second position to the first position, wherein the movable receptacle comprises a through hole;
• a vacuum system associated with the through hole of the movable receptacle;
• an attachment mechanism positioned between the opening of the waste disposal bay and the through hole, wherein the attachment mechanism is configured to maintain fluid communication between the opening and the vacuum system when the movable receptacle is in the first position;
• and
• a power source connector associated with the vacuum system, the power source connector configured to associate with a power source when the movable receptacle is in the first position, providing electric power to the vacuum system, and disassociate with the power source when the movable receptacle is in the second position, interrupting electric power to the vacuum system.
