Abstract

A waste bench for containing waste and/or recyclable materials in high density housing. The waste bench includes a sloped front wall to facilitate removal of contents from the bench and accommodate articles under the waste bench. The waste bench may also include one or more notches or slots in which necks of bags may be disposed so that those necks serve as pick-up flags to collection agency personnel. In another aspect, the bench includes a tiltable bin to easily access contents of the bench by tilting the bin forward to expose contents therein. Further, a latch that is actuatable from inside and outside the bin provides an added child-safety feature. Finally, the bench may include a label or a memory chip to provide information about the bench.
