Abstract
Disclosed is a refuse container support apparatus including an elongated post member including a first end and a second end, with the first end disposed to support the second end above the ground, at least one foot member coupled to the post member between the first and second ends to at least partially support a refuse container above the ground, and at least one attachment bar to removably couple a refuse container to the post member from within the interior of a refuse container. The present general inventive concept can also include a substantially flat base member coupled to the post member's first end, a light in electrical communication with a solar panel disposed atop the post member, and a surround member coupled to the post member to receive and support a refuse container. The present general inventive concept can also include a fixed cover permanently attached to the surround member and a hinged gate member attached to the surround member to allow the refuse container to slide into and out of the surround member.
