Abstract

A removable wheel and handle apparatus for use with trash receptacles such as garbage cans or the like includes a handle adapted to engage the open edge of the trash receptacle, a bracket affixed to the bottom of the receptacle and a wheel assembly adapted to removably receive an extending portion of the bracket. The handle permits easy tilting of the trash receptacle on to the wheel assembly, thereby permitting the receptacle to be readily moved from one place to another. The handle and the wheel assembly may then be removed and applied to another receptacle in a like manner.
