- a circular elevator, having two chains and a plurality of garbage carriers, each chain forming an equivalent reversed "L" shaped circular trajectory, each garbage carrier having two hinges attached to said two chains and a plate rotatably connected to said two hinges at its two ends whereby said plate is capable of being lifted in a horizontal gesture and lowered in a vertical gesture, each garbage carrier being equally spaced apart;
- an elevator driving means, for driving said chains and said garbage carriers to circulate alone said reversed "L" shaped circular trajectory;
- a reversed "L" shaped partition plate, provided between said chains within said elevator, for guiding said garbage carriers uprightly and dumping garbage inside said shell body;
- an "L" shaped partition plate, provided beside said chains, for guiding said chains and said garbage carriers downward, and associating with said walls of said shell body in order to form a garbage storing space inside said shell body, the bottom of said "L" shaped partition plate being inclined to form a drainage;
