Dumpster with solar panels

Abstract

The present invention provides the combination of a garbage dumpster, one or more solar panels, and a storage pod for receiving the dumpster. The garbage dumpster has lifting elements for lifting the dumpster to be emptied. The storage pod has a flat surface for receiving and storing the garbage dumpster. Also, one or more solar panels are connected to the storage pod and located above the storage pod for collecting the solar energy. An inverter is connected to the solar panels for converting the solar energy to electric energy. In addition, a storage battery is connected to the inverter for collecting the electric energy for future use.

1 ) A combination of a garbage dumpster, one or more solar panels, and a storage pod for receiving the dumpster, comprising;
 a) said garbage dumpster having lifting elements for lifting the dumpster to be emptied;   b) said storage pod having a flat surface for receiving and storing said garbage dumpster;   c) one or more of said solar panels connected to said storage pod and located above said storage pod for collecting solar energy;   d) an inverter connected to said solar panels for converting said solar energy to electric energy; and   e) a storage battery connected to said inverter for collecting said electric energy.   
     
     
         2 ) The combination in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said dumpster has a size of 3 cubic yards to 40 cubic yards. 
     
     
         3 ) The combination in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said solar panels are connected in series to provide more solar energy. 
     
     
         4 ) The combination in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said pod is made of metal, and has springs for supporting it. 
     
     
         5 ) A combination of a garbage dumpster, one or more solar panels, and a storage pod for receiving the dumpster, comprising;
 a) a garbage dumpster having lifting elements for lifting the dumpster to be emptied;   b) a storage pod having a flat surface for receiving and storing said garbage dumpster;   c) one or more solar panels connected to said storage pod and located above said storage pod for collecting solar energy;   d) an inverter connected to said solar panels for converting said solar energy to electric energy;   e) a storage battery connected to said inverter for collecting said electric energy;   f) an additional storage housing mounted on said storage pod; and   g) additional solar panels mounted on said storage housing to provide additional solar energy.   
     
     
         6 ) The combination in accordance with  claim 5 , further including a vertical support member for supporting said solar panels, wherein said vertical support member is telescopically adjustable. 
     
     
         7 ) The combination in accordance with  claim 5 , further including a vertical support member for supporting said solar panels, wherein said vertical support member is rotatable to change direction of said solar panels by at least 180 degrees. 
     
     
         8 ) A combination of a garbage dumpster and one or more solar panels, comprising;
 a) said garbage dumpster having lifting elements for lifting the dumpster to be emptied;   b) one or more of said solar panels connected to said dumpster for collecting solar energy;   c) an inverter connected to said solar panels for converting said solar energy to electric energy; and   d) a storage battery connected to said inverter for collecting said electric energy.
