A refuse container having a hinge assembly with a split hinge pin. The two portions of the hinge pin being separable for insertion into an aperture of a hinge knuckle and biased together to maintain the hinge pin in the knuckle when the hinge is assembled. The lid of the refuse container carries the integrally molded hinge pin, supported between a pair of support arms, with a division area that allows the pin to be pulled apart for assembly. The container body is integrally molded with the hinge knuckle which receives the hinge pin through the aperture to rotatably couple the lid and the container body together. No other components are needed to secure the lid with the container body.
