Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1972576A1] The waste receptacle is designed for receiving used disposable drinking cups such as those dispensed from vending machines. A pair of opposed walls (19,20) have surfaces that are shaped so as to define between them a plurality of stacking tubes (17) for receiving the used cups in a stacked or nested configuration. The walls (19,20) are defined on first (15) and second (16) separable sections of the receptacle and are lined with a refuse sack. The sections (15,16) are movable relative to one another between a first position in which they are inter-engaged, an intermediate position in which a front section (15) is tilted relative to the rear section (16) so as to release the inter-engaging elements (56,57) but in which it is supported in the tilted position by abutment of a base wall (24) with a stop member (43) and a second position in which the two sections (15,16) are separated. The first section (15) has at least one wheel (32) whereby it can be wheeled to a suitable location for emptying the refuse sack.
