Abstract
A lightweight, durable, safety accented, collection container is disclosed wherein access to deposited items is restricted and controlled. The primary purpose of the collection container is to prevent and discourage access to potentially harmful items and to allow the user to have access to the collected items only while under the supervision of a responsible adult. The device has an alternating slide system and a trap system which does not allow retrieval of deposited items until a locking mechanism can be engaged and opened by someone with a key or with knowledge of how the locking mechanism operates.
