Construction waste removal container

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to waste removal and provide a system, method and apparatus for receiving and containing waste. In one embodiment of the invention, a waste removal container system can be provided. The system can include a plurality of detachable walls and a detachable base wall that can include a locking mechanism to interlock with the plurality of detachable walls. The locking mechanism can include a plurality of retaining flanges coupled to the topside of the base wall, which are arranged to interlock with a bottom edge of at least one of the plurality of walls. The plurality of walls can include hinging receptacles located on the side-edges of the plurality of walls. The plurality of walls can include a pair of detachable side walls, a detachable front wall and a detachable back wall. The system further can include a hinging pin configured for engaging a first hinging receptacle coupled to a side-edge of one of the plurality of walls and a second hinging receptacle coupled to a side-edge of another of the plurality of walls. The hinging receptacles can receive retaining pins to interlock one detachable wall to the next to form interlocking corner joints for the waste removal container system.

       2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism is a retaining flange coupled to a topside of the base wall, the retaining flange configured to interlock with the bottom edge of one the plurality of walls. 
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom edge of the one of the plurality of walls includes wall tubing configured to interlock with the locking mechanism of the base wall. 
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of walls includes a pair of opposing detachable side walls, a detachable front wall and a detachable back wall. 
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the detachable front wall includes a set of hinging receptacles coupled to a side-edge of the front wall. 
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein one of the pair of opposing detachable side walls includes a set of hinging receptacles coupled to a side-edge of the side wall. 
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a hinging pin configured for engaging a first hinging receptacle coupled to a side-edge of one of the plurality of walls and a second hinging receptacle coupled to a side-edge of another of the plurality of walls. 
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a second one of the plurality of walls, the second one of the plurality of walls having a top edge and a bottom edge opposite the top edge, the bottom edge coupled to a top edge of a first one of the plurality of walls to extend a wall height of the waste container system. 
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the bottom edge of the second one of the plurality of walls is welded to the top edge of the first one of the plurality of walls. 
   
   
       10 . The system of  claim 8 , further comprising a wall extension support, the wall extension support coupled to the bottom edge of the second one of the plurality of walls and the top edge of the first one of the plurality of walls. 
   
   
       11 . A method for removing construction waste from a construction site, the method comprising:
 transporting a collapsible waste container to a construction site;   assembling a collapsible waste container by joining a plurality of waste container walls to a base wall;   positioning the collapsible waste container to receive waste; and,   receiving waste.   
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein assembling a collapsible waste container includes connecting a plurality of wall members to the base wall and connecting the wall members to the corresponding adjacent wall member. 
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein assembling a collapsible waste container includes sliding a bottom end of a front wall into a first retaining flange of the base wall. 
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 sliding a bottom end of a side wall into a second retaining flange of the base wall.   
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising:
 aligning the hinging receptacles of the front wall with the hinging receptacles of the side wall.   
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 deploying a hinging pin through the aligned hinging receptacles to interlock a side-edge of front wall with a side-edge of side wall to form a corner joint.   
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising:
 sliding a bottom end of a second side wall into another retaining flange of the base wall.   
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising:
 aligning the hinging receptacles of the front wall with the hinging receptacles of the second side wall.   
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising:
 deploying a second hinging pin through the aligned hinging receptacles to interlock a second side-edge of front wall to form a second corner joint.   
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein assembling a collapsible waste container by joining a plurality of waste container walls to a base includes coupling a bottom edge of a second one of the plurality of walls to a top edge of a first one of the plurality of walls to extend a wall height of the waste container system.
