A dustbin apparatus includes a housing that has a bottom wall, a top wall and a peripheral wall that is attached to and extends between the top and bottom walls. The peripheral wall has an opening therein extending upwardly from the bottom wall and toward the top wall. The opening defines a front side of the housing. Debris may be swept into the housing through the opening. An elongated handle has a first end and a second end. The first end is pivotally coupled to an outer surface of the top wall. A primary light emitter is attached to the housing and emits light forward of the front side of the housing when turned on to illuminate an area forward and adjacent to the bottom wall.

I claim: 1. A dustbin collection assembly comprising: a housing having a bottom wall, a top wall and a peripheral wall being attached to and extending between said top and bottom walls, said peripheral wall having an opening therein extending upwardly from said bottom wall and toward said top wall, said opening defining a front side of said housing, wherein debris may be swept into said housing through said opening; an elongated handle having a first end and a second end, said first end being pivotally coupled to an outer surface of said top wall; a primary light emitter being attached to said housing, said primary light emitter emitting light forward of said front side of said housing when said primary light emitter is turned on to illuminate an area forward and adjacent to said bottom wall; and an actuator being electrically coupled to said primary light emitter to selectively turn said primary light emitter on or off, said handle being positionable between a stored position orientated at an angle less than 45 degrees with respect to said top wall and a deployed position orientated approximately orthogonal to said top wall, said actuator being in mechanical communication with said handle, said actuator being positioned in an on position and turning said primary light emitter on when said handle is in said deployed position, said actuator being positioned in an off position and turning said primary light emitter off when said handle is in said stored position. 2. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein said actuator is mounted on top wall adjacent to said first end of said handle, a nub being attached to said first end of said handle, said nub engaging said actuator when said handle is in said deployed position. 3. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein said primary light emitter is positioned adjacent to said opening. 4. The assembly according to claim 3, wherein said primary light emitter is attached to said top wall. 5. The assembly according to claim 4, wherein said primary light emitter being positioned on an inner surface of said top wall. 6. The assembly according to claim 1, further including: a secondary light emitter; and a bracket being attached to said handle between said first end and said second end, said secondary light emitter being positioned in said bracket, said secondary light emitter directing light away from said second end of said handle and toward said housing. 7. The assembly according to claim 6, wherein said bracket angles said secondary light emitter outwardly from said handle, said bracket including a coupler and a sleeve attached together, said coupler extending around said handle and securing said sleeve to said handle, said sleeve releasably receiving the secondary light emitter. 8. The assembly according to claim 7, wherein said sleeve has a longitudinal opening orientated at angle between 10 degrees and 45 degrees to a longitudinal opening of said coupler, said handle being positioned in said longitudinal opening of said coupler. 9. The assembly according to claim 8, wherein said sleeve comprises an elastomeric material and frictionally engages said secondary light emitter. 10. A dustbin collection assembly comprising: a housing having a bottom wall, a top wall and a peripheral wall being attached to and extending between said top and bottom walls, said peripheral wall having an opening therein extending upwardly from said bottom wall and toward said top wall, said opening defining a front side of said housing, wherein debris may be swept into said housing through said opening; an elongated handle having a first end and a second end, said first end being pivotally coupled to an outer surface of said top wall, a grip being attached to said second end of said handle, said handle being positionable between a stored position orientated at an angle less than 45 degrees with respect to said top wall and a deployed position orientated approximately orthogonal to said top wall; a primary light emitter being attached to said housing, said primary light emitter emitting light forward of said front side of said housing when said primary light emitter is turned on to illuminate an area forward and adjacent to said bottom wall, said primary light emitter being positioned adjacent to said opening, said primary light emitter being attached to said top wall, said primary light emitter being positioned on an inner surface of said top wall; an actuator being electrically coupled to said primary light emitter to selectively turn said primary light emitter on or off, said actuator being in mechanical communication with said handle, said actuator being positioned in an on position and turning said primary light emitter on when said handle is in said deployed position, said actuator being positioned in an off position and turning said primary light emitter off when said handle is in said stored position, said actuator being mounted on top wall adjacent to said first end of said handle, a nub being attached to said first end of said handle, said nub engaging said actuator when said handle is in said deployed position; a secondary light emitter; and a bracket being attached to said handle between said first end and said second end, said secondary light emitter being positioned in said bracket, said secondary light emitter directing light away from said second end of said handle and toward said housing, said bracket angling said secondary light emitter outwardly from said handle, said bracket including a coupler and a sleeve attached together, said coupler extending around said handle and securing said sleeve to said handle, said sleeve having a longitudinal opening orientated at angle between 10 degrees and 45 degrees to a longitudinal opening of said coupler, said handle being positioned in said longitudinal opening of said coupler, said sleeve comprising an elastomeric material and frictionally engaging said secondary light emitter.
