US Patent 8376170 Recycle bin cover system

The recycle bin cover system includes a top that has legs extending downwardly from beneath the cover and of which each leg has a cap, which screws onto to enclose the hollowed cavity of each leg that is used to fill with a weighty material for use in securing the cover atop a bin. The cover features a lip that secures the cover atop said bin. The bin may include leg receivers that are designed to further secure the legs and cover to the bin. The cover is designed to increase the overall volume of the bin and to prevent both the cover and the contents of the bin from blowing away during windy weather.
