(54) Waste container with an access door


(57) A container (10) comprises a main body (12) and a door member (14). The main body (12) is linked to the door member (14) by a hinge (20,21) which permits the door member (14) to rotate relative to said main body (12) between a first open position and a second closed position in which the door member (14) is retained; and permits the door member (14) to translate parallel to said hinge (20,21) to an intermediate position between the first and second positions. The door member (14) may only move from the second position to the first position via the intermediate position.
A side lock assembly (58) comprises an engagement member (64) having a first portion (66) which is fixed to either the door member (14) or the main body (12) and a second portion (68) moveable relative to the first portion (66) between a first configuration, in which said translational movement of the door member (14) from said second position to said intermediate position is permitted, and a second configuration, in which said translational movement of the door member (14) from said second position to said intermediate position is substantiallz prevented; wherein said second portion (68) is biased towards said second configuration; and
an actuation member (63) which is contactable with said engagement member (64) so as to move said second portion (68) from said second configuration to said first configuration.
