Abstract: The trash container includes a container body including a front wall, a rear wall, a floor, a right side wall, a left side wall and a top section defining together an interior compartment for collecting and containing trash. It also includes a trash can dumping mechanism positioned on the rear wall of the container body. The trash can dumping mechanism is provided to lift and tip a trash can to transfer trash from inside the trash can into the interior compartment of the container body. The fact that the trash can dumping mechanism is position at the rear greatly simplifies the task of emptying trash cans when the service door of a building is closer to the rear side of the trash container than the front side thereof. This feature can save time and efforts, especially in cold and/or bad weather.
