Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1495993A1] The waste receptacle (10) is designed for receiving used disposable drinking cups (14) such as those dispensed from vending machines. A pair of opposed walls (16) haves surfaces that are shaped so as to define between them a plurality of stacking tubes (13) for receiving the used cups (14) in a stacked or nested configuration. The walls (16) are spaced apart to define a clearance in which a refuse sack (19) can be received such that it lines the tubes (13). A separate reservoir (12) may be provided for receiving discarded beverage liquid.
