AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009]The assembly advantageously enables to transfer waste into the garbage receptacle thanks to the transferring cavity while reducing odors escaping from the bin.

[0010]In a further embodiment, the mounting element is advantageously adapted to prevent communication between the receptacle and surroundings in the second position.

[0012]The scraping member advantageously sweeps and cleans the inside surface of the cavity of the drum when this latter is rotating, thereby preventing garbage from sticking thereto.

Problems solved by technology

However, each time they are opened, the odor tends to escape, the situation being unpleasant for the user.
