Abstract
A trash container having a drum whose shape is in a form of a truncated cone on a dolly. The drum, which is open at the top and bottom and includes openings along its surface, is positioned upon the dolly for easy moving and positioning. A trash liner is located within the drum such that when the liner is filled, the dolly is rolled to a disposal pick-up site. The drum is first lifted and the filled liner is then removed from the dolly. After depositing the liner, the drum is returned to the dolly.

A two-unit trash container apparatus comprising,
- a.) a movable means;
- b.) a rigid drum means having a shape of a truncated cone and including a small and large opening wherein the larger opening is adapted to be positioned upon said movable means;
- c.) means circumferentially surrounding said movable means and rigid drum means positioned to provide a snug fitting arrangement for semi-permanent attachment to one another.
- d.) said circumferential surrounding means of said movable means also being dimensioned to locate additional movable means when a plurality are stacked one above another;
- e.) means located at approximately each quadrant of said rigid drum for providing air passages to allow atmospheric pressure to penetrate;
- f.) means having an entrance positioned within said drum means and upon said movable means for receiving disposable matter, and said air passages eliminating a partial vacuum that is created between said rigid drum means and said receiving means when filled with disposable matter, and
- g.) said circumferential surrounding means acting as a basin for retaining spillage in the event that said receiving means is damaged.
- h.) means for semi-permanently attaching said receiving means to said drum means,
- i.) whereby when said receiving means is filled and said attaching means is removed, said two-unit container may be transferred to a site by said movable means where said drum means is easily separated by the elimination of said partial vacuum and by operation of said snug fitting, such that said receiving means may be lifted from said movable means for discarding purposes.
