Abstract
A supplemental waste recycling container for mounting to either the inside or outside of a larger waste container is provided. The supplemental container includes an out-turned rim extending around the circumference of its upper edge. The container also includes two parallel horizontally-extending mounting members extending outwardly from the upper edge of the supplemental container. The out-turned rim is profiled to mount to either the inside or outside of the larger waste container. The horizontally-extending mounting members include depending lateral flanges for mounting along sides of the large waste container when the supplemental container is either mounted to the inside or the outside of the larger container. The horizontally-extending mounting members, together in combination with the profile of the out-turned rim, thus allow the supplemental container to be easily and securely mounted either to the inside or outside of a larger waste container, without requiring hooks, clasps, or other mounting devices. The supplemental container is thus ideally suited for use by a consumer in the recycling of refuse.
