Patent attributes
An intermediate container is provided for receiving refuse from a primary refuse container that is configured to be carried by a top-loading refuse collection vehicle lifter. The intermediate container comprises a front wall, a rear wall, opposed sidewalls, and a bottom wall defining a total refuse collection volume. An extension assembly that is configured for mounting a primary refuse collection container lifter thereon is located substantially beneath the total refuse collection volume intermediate the front wall and the rear wall, with a portion of the extension assembly being movable between a first, retracted position for storage and for dumping a primary refuse collection container and a second, extended position for engaging and releasing the primary refuse collection container at a location laterally spaced from the intermediate container refuse collection vehicle. Further, the intermediate container is free of fork receivers and includes at least one mounting member for non-destructive removable attachment to the collection vehicle lifter.
