A trash collection, management and disposal system for an office area including covered trash collector containers positioned at heights substantially equivalent to the height of a standard desk top and adapted to receive trash generated in the area. Some of the trash collector containers are mounted on wheels and are equipped with tongue-and-hitch assemblies enabling a plurality of these trash collector containers to be coupled together in a train for towing to a dump site. Dump mechanisms at the dump site pick the trash collector containers up and invert them to empty the trash contained therein. The cover on each collector container is pivotally mounted by a hinge assembly enabling the cover member to be moved to an over center position when it is opened to inhibit its return movement to the closed position. Also, the hinge assembly operates to maintain the cover in an upright position when it is opened, allowing the cover to serve as a backstop for deflecting thrown trash into the container.

In a trash collection, transport, and management system for an office environment, a trash receiving, storing, and transporting receptacle comprising a body portion having an open upper end, a bottom wall, a front wall, a back wall, and a pair of side walls, a cover having a back portion, a front portion, and means on said front portion projecting upwardly therefrom and thence rearwardly to form a handle for said cover, a flexible hinge assembly hingedly supporting said cover on said back wall operable to restrict movement of said cover to pivotal movement on said back wall between an upwardly and rearwardly inclined substantially vertical position in which the center of gravity of said cover is displaced rearwardly of said hinge assembly and a substantially horizontal position wherein said cover overlies said open upper end and said cover front portion projects outwardly over said front wall, said hinge assembly comprising a resilient hinge member extending between the upper end of said back wall and said cover back portion, first retaining means connecting said hinge member to said back wall and second retaining means connecting said hinge member to said cover, at least one of said retaining means being operable to release said hinge member in response to a pulling force of predetermined magnitude applied thereto, said hinge member being located to allow pivotal movement of said cover on said back wall and exert forces on said cover operable to pull said cover toward said back wall, said first retaining means comprising structure forming a first cavity in said back wall, said second retaining means comprising structure forming a second cavity in said cover, each of said first and second cavities having an enlarged retaining portion and a tapered neck portion, and said resilient hinge member having a body portion and substantially enlarged end portions, each of said end portions being adapted to be retained in one of said cavity retaining portions so that a tensile stress of predetermined magnitude applied to said end portion is operable to cause compression of said end portion and flow thereof through said cavity neck portion, thus releasing said hinge member from said retaining means.
