A refuse container system for facilitating lifting, carrying and dispensing refuse to be disposed of includes a container having a cavity extending into the container through a top end thereof. The cavity receives refuse to be disposed of. Each of a plurality of handles is rotatably mounted to the container to permit each of the handles to be rotated to desired position. The handles are graspable to facilitate lifting of the container. A lid is positionable over the top end of the container to selectively close the top end and retain the refuse in the cavity.

I claim: 1. A refuse container system for receiving refuse to be disposed of, said system comprising: a container having a cavity extending into said container through a top end thereof, said cavity receiving the refuse to be disposed of; a plurality of handles being rotatably mounted to said container to permit each of said handles to be independently rotated to desired position, said handles being graspable to facilitate lifting of said container, each of said handles including; a base plate being mounted to said container, wherein said base plate is rotatable, after mounting, to a plurality of orientations to facilitate lifting of said container; a grip attached to said base plate; and a lid being positionable over said top end of said container to selectively close said top end and retain the refuse in said cavity. 2. The system according to claim 1, wherein said container includes a plurality of ridges extending across of portion of a bottom face of said container, said ridges enhancing frictional contact of said container with a support surface when said container is positioned on the support surface. 3. The system according to claim 1, wherein said handles include a pair of upper handles being positioned adjacent said top end of said container, said upper handles being positioned diametrically opposite one another. 4. The system according to claim 3, wherein said handles include a lower handle being positioned adjacent a bottom face of said container, said lower handle being vertically aligned with one of said upper handles. 5. The system according to claim 1, wherein said grip includes a pair of stanchions being coupled to and outwardly extending from said base plate and a gripping bar being coupled to and extending between said stanchions, said gripping bar being positioned in a spaced relationship from said base plate to permit grasping of said gripping bar when said container is to be lifted. 6. The system according to claim 1, further comprising a weight being positioned in a bottom wall of said container, said weight weighting said container to keep said container in vertical orientation and inhibit inadvertent tipping of said container. 7. The system according to claim 1, further comprising a drain plug being coupled to said container and being in fluid communication with said cavity of said container, said drain plug being actuated to permit liquid in said cavity to drain out of said container. 8. The system according to claim 1, wherein said lid has a recess extending into said lid through a lower face thereof, said recess receiving said top end of said container when said lid is positioned over said top end. 9. The system according to claim 8, wherein said lid includes a lip being positioned adjacent said lower face and extending into said recess, said lip being positioned under a shoulder of said container positioned adjacent said top end of said container to inhibit inadvertent removal of said lid from said container. 10. A refuse container system for receiving refuse to be disposed of, said system comprising: a container having a cavity extending into said container through a top end thereof, said cavity receiving the refuse to be disposed of, said container including a plurality of ridges extending across of portion of a bottom face of said container, said ridges enhancing frictional contact of said container with a support surface when said container is positioned on the support surface; a plurality of handles being rotatably mounted to said container to permit each of said handles to be rotated to desired position, said handles being graspable to facilitate lifting of said container, said handles including a pair of upper handles being positioned adjacent said top end of said container, said upper handles being positioned diametrically opposite one another, said handles including a lower handle being positioned adjacent said bottom face of said container, said lower handle being vertically aligned with one of said upper handles, each of said handles comprising; a base plate being mounted to said container, wherein said base plate is rotatable, after mounting, to a plurality of orientations to facilitate lifting of said container; a pair of stanchions being coupled to and outwardly extending from said base plate; a gripping bar being coupled to and extending between said stanchions, said gripping bar being positioned in a spaced relationship from said base plate to permit grasping of said gripping bar when said container is to be lifted; a weight being positioned in a bottom wall of said container, said weight weighting said container to keep said container in vertical orientation and inhibit inadvertent tipping of said container; a drain plug being coupled to said container and being in fluid communication with said cavity of said container, said drain plug being actuated to permit liquid in said cavity to drain out of said container, said drain plug being positioned adjacent said bottom wall; and a lid being positionable over said top end of said container to selectively close said top end and retain the refuse in said cavity, said lid having a recess extending into said lid through a lower face thereof, said recess receiving said top end of said container when said lid is positioned over said top end, said lid including a lip being positioned adjacent said lower face and extending into said recess, said lip being positioned under a shoulder of said container positioned adjacent said top end of said container to inhibit inadvertent removal of said lid from said container.
