• (c) a rigid structural ring having an ovoid configuration with a smoothly curved outside inclination slanted or angled inwardly at a first position on the ring, slanted or angled outwardly at a second position substantially 180 degrees from the first position, arranged substantially vertically at positions 90 degrees to said first and second positions and angled at intermediate inclinations at intermediate positions,
• (d) said structural ring being secured to said slats at the upper end of the slats in an inclined orientation by fastening means traversing both the structural ring and the slats, and
• (e) a seat surface positioned upon a top surface of the structural ring,
• (f) a lid or cover means configured for receipt into the seat positioned upon the top surface of the structural ring,
• (g) said lid or cover having at least two orifices disposed in it for receipt of recyclables and refuse, and
