Abstract
A blast-attenuating container for public spaces comprising an outer metallic shell enclosing a plurality of belted automobile tires, preferably used, in a stacked array, thereby defining a cylindrical central space for holding a removable waste receptacle. Within each tire is a water-filled energy-absorbing bladder. The stacked tires may be further enclosed by a fragmentation-absorbing reinforcing band. A cover over the shell has a hinged door for receiving and directing waste into the removable waste receptacle. The cover is removable for access to the waste receptacle. The can and waste receptacle may be provided with a load cell and programmed microprocessor for detecting the insertion of a possible threat item and an RF transmitter for sending an alert to a central security station.
