Garbage storage system and method

A garbage storage device comprising, in combination, a wheeled garbage container and a drive elevator to lift the wheeled garbage container;

• the drive elevator has upright guides which are fixedly connected to a cylindrical, open ended, steel wall;
• the steel wall is positioned in an underground pit adjacent to a curb of a street;
• the drive elevator has a platform coupled to the upright guides by an upright plate;
• the upright guides are positioned substantially within the underground pit except for an uppermost end which support a single cable drive;
• the single cable drive is positioned above the underground pit and is provided with an electrical or manual drive means to actuate the single cable drive;
• the single cable drive lifts and lowers the platform;
• garbage is stored within the wheeled garbage container while the wheeled garbage container is supported by the platform in its lowered position within the underground pit to avoid the problem of oders adjacent a house;
• the drive means would be actuated to list the platform to a level such that the wheeled garbage container would be moved in a direction off and away from the platform and closer to the curb of the street;
• this avoids the problem of strenuous work of moving a full, wheeled, garbage container to the curb of the street long distances from the house.
