Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0811565A1] A waste container (1) comprises an upright receptacle (3) pivotally mounted on a support bracket (10) attached to a post or wall. The container has a lid (9) pivotally connected to the receptacle so that it is pivotal relative to an opening (8) of the receptacle between open and closed positions. A linkage (28) is provided between the lid and the support bracket so that pivotal movement of the lid to the open position causes pivotal movement of the receptacle relative to the support to a position inclined to the upright and the support bracket. This provides clear access to the receptacle opening to permit emptying. The linkage enables movement of the lid with mechanical advantage. <IMAGE>
