Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a waste container (1) for mechanical waste collection, which has a manually and mechanically openable main lid (2) equipped with at least one and preferably a pair of manually operated secondary lids (4), one at each side thereof, through which litter or waste bags are discharged into the container without opening the main lid itself, which remains closed and is mainly used during mechanical waste collection. The user may therefore discharge litter and/or waste bags into the waste container without having to leave the pavement, thereby avoiding exposure to dangers associated with the opening/closing operation being conducted from the roadside, by merely opening the manually operated secondary lids whilst standing at the sides or at the rear of the container, without having to open the relatively heavy main lid and consequently be exposed to the bulk of the waste inside the container and undesirable odors deriving therefrom. <IMAGE>
