Abstract
A covered trash receptacle system for vehicles such as golf carts is described. The system typically includes a trash receptacle main body having a hollow interior into which trash can be placed. The main body includes a lid connected to the main body with a hinge system that prevents the lid from opening past a certain point so that the system can be operated and emptied with one hand. The main body sits within a cradle that is fixed to the floor board of the vehicle. The main body can be easily placed into and taken out of the cradle as needed.
