The invention is a convenient ramp-like pivotal threshold attached to a refuse container that is laid over on one side, over which to sweep debris on a floor or ground surface directly into the open end of the container. This invented threshold attachment allows the ramp threshold to be pivoted from a stored, out of the way, on the outside wall of a conventionally used refuse container standing in a vertical position, to an operating deployed position on the refuse container, laid horizontally on one side. This pivotal threshold can be removably or permanently attached to the reinforced rolled edge of the open end of a rectangular solid refuse container or to an axle that is removably or permanently attached to the curved rolled edge of the open end of a cylindrical refuse container.

1. A refuse container system comprising: a rigid walled refuse container having a closed bottom, an open end with a rim and, a rigid wall extending from the closed bottom to the open end;a connection bracket for attaching an inclined shaped pivotal ramp threshold to the rim;the connection bracket comprising:a vice clamp directly attached to the rim of the refuse container;a hinged panel directly attached to the vice clamp, wherein the hinged panel is movable from an open position to a closed position to adjust for the rim diameter or straight section of the rim;a first elongated cylindrical axle having a first length, wherein the first axle is directly attached to the hinged panel at one end of the first length, and the first axle is directly attached to a second panel at the opposite end of the first length;a first U shaped axle holding arm, where the first axle holding arm is directly attached to the first axle with a connection means located at the bottom of the first axle holding arm, wherein the first axle holding arm extends outward from the first axle, and wherein the first axle holding arm is rotatable about the first axle;a second U shaped axle holding arm, where the second axle holding arm is directly attached to the first axle with a connection means located at the bottom of the second axle holding arm, wherein the second axle holding arm extends outward and upward from the refuse container wall, and wherein the second axle holding arm is rotatable about the first axle;a second elongated cylindrical axle having a second length, wherein the second axle is directly attached to the top of the first axle holding arm at one end of the second length, and the second axle is directly attached to the top of the second axle holding arm at the opposite end of the second length;the refuse container system further comprising:an inclined shaped pivotal ramp threshold having a thin end and a thicker opposite end, where the thick end is directly attached to second axle, wherein the ramp threshold is rotatable about the second axle;wherein the threshold extends along the rigid wall when the pivotal ramp threshold is in a first position,and wherein the axle holding arms rest on a top surface of the rim, and the pivotal ramp threshold extends past the rim and away from the rigid wall when the inclined ramp threshold is in a second deployed position. 2. A refuse container and pivotal ramp threshold attachment system comprising: a refuse container having a closed bottom, an open end with a straight section of rim and, a rigid wall extending from the closed bottom to the open end;an inclined shaped pivotal ramp threshold having a thin end and a thicker opposite end;the rigid walled refuse container comprising:a modified straight sectional length of rim partially removed, molded, recessed, concave, grooved and made suitable for an equal length and girth cylindrical rod to horizontally pivot within;a receptacle perforation hole horizontally placed in each solid opposite end of the container rim adjacent to the ends of the modified straight rim section;a smaller width diagonal slot providing access to one of the rim perforation holes;a reinforced and strengthened rigid wall under the modified straight section of container rim;the pivotal ramp threshold comprising;the thicker end having a more than half round pivoting cylindrical edge;a cylindrical protuberance on each opposite end of the length of the thicker end of the ramp threshold;wherein the cylindrical protuberance on one end of the thick cylindrical end of the ramp threshold is inserted into the perforation hole at one end of the solid container rim, and the cylindrical protuberance at the opposite end of the thick end of the ramp threshold is snapped into the perforation hole via the access slot at the opposite end of the solid container rim, the ramp threshold is pivotally attached to the refuse container;wherein the ramp threshold extends under the container rim and along the rigid wall when the pivotal ramp threshold is in a stored first position,and wherein the pivotal ramp threshold is flush with the straight modified section of container rim and away from the rigid wall when the ramp threshold is in a deployed operating second position.
