A refuse container means comprising an upper and lower container member arranged in telescoping relation relative to each other configured for storage within a container receptacle. A plurality of cables disposed within corresponding plurality of guards extend between the upper and lower container members. The lower end of the cables are secured to a corresponding plurality of discharge doors hingedly attached to the lower portion of the lower container member while the upper end of the cables are secured to the upper container member. The telescoping relation relative between the upper and lower container members permits movement between an extended and retracted position to selectively open and close the discharge doors to dump refuse from the refuse container means when in the retracted position and close the discharge door when in the extended position.
The refuse container means comprising an upper and lower container member arranged in telescoping relation relative to each other, said upper container member comprising a substantially hollow element having a lid attached to the upper portion thereof, said lid including an aperture formed therein and an access door hingedly attached thereto, said access door movable between an open and closed position to permit selective access to said refuse container when said access door is in said open position, said lower container member comprising a substantially hollow element having a plurality of discharge doors hingedly attached to the lower portion thereof, said hingedly attached discharge doors movable between an open and closed position to permit selective discharge from said refuse container means when said discharge doors are in said open position, and a plurality of cables corresponding to said plurality of discharge doors, each said cables attached to the first hollow element at the upper end and each said cable attached to said corresponding discharge door at the lower end thereof, said first and second substantially hollow element moveable between an extended and re retracted position such that said discharge doors are moved from said closed position to said open position when said first and second substantially hollow elements are in said retracted position and said discharge doors are moved from said discharge position to said closed position when said substantially hollow first and second element are moved from said retracted position to said extended position.
The refuse container means of 9 wherein the depth of said receptacle is sufficiently greater than said upper and lower substantially hollow elements to retain said upper and lower substantially hollow elements in said extended position when within said receptacle.
