-16- ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A waste container (10) includes a base portion (11) having an open top to receive waste material therethrough and a cover (12) to close the open top. A pivotable pedal (22) is carried by the base portion (11) and has the lower end of a lifter bar (26) attached thereto. The top of the lifter bar (26) is bifurcated to form flexible tines (34) with a bearing member (35) therebetween. Pin members (36) extend outwardly from the tines (34) and are received in apertures (37) in a bracket (32) carried by the cover (12). The bracket (32) is also provided with ribs (38) to engage the bearing member (35) of the lifter bar (26). Fins (40) carried by the cover (12) also engage lugs (42) carried by the base portion (11). Sockets (44) formed on the cover (12) are aligned with knuckles (47) formed on the base portion (11) and together they receive hinge pins (50) therethrough so that upon pivoting of the pedal (22), the bearing member (35) of the lifter bar (26) engages the ribs (38) of the cover (12) to cause the cover (12) to rotate on the hinge pins (50) to thereby expose the open top of the base portion (11). The sockets (44) have a countersunk recess (45) to receive an enlarged head (51) of the hinge pins (50). A compressible lock barb (54) on the opposite end of hinge pins (50) holds hinge pins (50) in place.
