Trash receptacle lid securing device

Abstract

A device for substantially preventing opening of a trash receptacle lid includes, in some embodiments, a pair of clamps, a pair of brackets and a weighted element. The weighted element is configured to press against (exerting a force on) a hinged lid of the trash receptacle to substantially prevent inadvertent opening of the hinged lid, particularly during high winds and / or in the event that the trash receptacle is knocked over. 1 20 26 20 28 15 14 A pr 2 02 6 T R A S H R E C E P T A C L E L I D S E C U R I N G D E V I C E A B S T R A C T O F T H E D I S C L O S U R E 2 0 2 6 2 0 2 8 1 5 1 4 A p r 2 0 2 6 A d e v i c e f o r s u b s t a n t i a l l y p r e v e n t i n g o p e n i n g o f a t r a s h r e c e p t a c l e l i d i n c l u d e s , i n s o m e e m b o d i m e n t s , a p a i r o f c l a m p s , a p a i r o f b r a c k e t s a n d a w e i g h t e d e l e m e n t .
