Embodiment Construction

[0018]The sorting waste receptacle 10 automatically sorts and temporarily stores differing types of waste items. As shown in FIG. 1, the sorting waste receptacle 10 includes a hollow housing 12 having a top wall 14, a bottom wall 16 and at least one sidewall 18. It should be understood that the dimensions and configuration of the hollow housing 12 are shown in FIG. 1 for exemplary purposes only. The top wall 14 has an opening 11 formed therethrough for receiving a waste item, such as exemplary aluminum can M. The hollow housing 12 has a lower interior portion 13 and an upper interior portion 15. The lower interior portion 13 is divided into a plurality of separate compartments 24, 26, 28, each compartment corresponding to a different type of waste, particularly to a different class of recyclable waste. In the example of FIG. 1, compartment 24 is configured for receiving metal waste M (such as cans and the like), compartment 26 is configured for receiving plastic waste P (such as pla...

Abstract

The sorting waste receptacle sorts and temporarily stores differing types of waste items. The sorting waste receptacle includes a hollow housing having a top wall, a bottom wall and at least one sidewall. The top wall has an opening formed therein for depositing a waste item, and a lower interior portion of the hollow housing is divided into a plurality of separate compartments, each compartment corresponding to a different type of waste. When the waste item is inserted through the opening formed in the top wall, the waste item is temporarily held within a movable chute inside the hollow housing. While in the chute, the waste item is weighed by a scale and at least one sensor determines its composition. Based on the composition of the waste item, the chute is moved above the corresponding one of the separate compartments for dispensing of the waste item therein.
