         10 . The collection apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one slot includes a lid. 
     
     
         11 . The collection apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one collection container of the first and the second assemblies is replaced with a removable insert type container. 
     
     
         12 . The collection apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one hinge is attached to the first and the second hinge body by one of the interior or an exterior of the first and the second hinge body. 
     
     
         13 . The collection apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first hinged body, the second hinged body or both include at least one access door. 
     
     
         14 . The collection apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the central body is a unitary piece or two or more pieces. 
     
     
         15 . A collection device for collection of articles comprising:
 a central body having an interior, a top end and a bottom end;   a support member including a support pole, wherein the central body is attached to the support member;   wherein a length of the central body is less than a length of the support pole and a radius of the central body is greater than a radius of the support pole, such that the bottom of the central body is positioned on one of the support member or a portion of a earth; and   at least two assemblies in communication with the top of the central body, each assembly of the at least two assemblies includes a cover, at least one slot in the cover and at least one collection container;   wherein the at least one collection container includes an open end attached to the at least one slot and extends into the interior of the central body.   
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein the central body is a unitary piece or two or more pieces. 
     
     
         17 . The collection device of  claim 15 , wherein one of the central body, the support member or both include one or more wheel.
