Abstract
A smoking-waste receptacle includes a housing and a container for receiving smoking waste and that can be inserted into and removed from the housing. The container includes a removal opening that permits removal of smoking waste deposited in the container and a door movable relative to the removal opening and configured to cover the removal opening when the container is disposed in the housing. The container can include a container body and flow-inhibiting structure disposed within the container body to inhibit smoke from leaving the container body. The container can includes a first wall extending substantially vertically, a first insertion opening in the first wall that allows smoking waste to be inserted into the container, and a first snuff member disposed within the container and adjacent the first insertion opening at a position that permits smoking waste that has been inserted into the first insertion opening to be pushed against the first snuff member.
