Abstract
A trash container includes a container body, a cover unit, and an internal shelter arrangement. The container body has a top opening and a trash cavity for receiving a trash object through the top opening. The cover unit includes a cover panel for selectively opening and closing the top opening. The internal shelter arrangement includes a shelter boundary frame detachably coupled between the container body and the cover unit, and a shelter unit movably coupled at the shelter boundary frame to seal a shelter opening of the shelter boundary. When the top opening is opened, the shelter unit is downwardly and pivotally folded to open up the shelter opening in response to an external force of a weight of the trash object for disposing the trash object in the trash cavity.
