Abstract: A waste collecting box to be placed on the roadside that includes a rear panel, side panels and a front panel wherein each of the side panels comprises two vertical segments, i.e., posterior and anterior segments jointed rotatably to a central junction such that the two segments can be folded at the junction with the junction moving inward until the two segments overlap with each other to form a flat structure; the rear vertical end of the posterior segment of each side panel is jointed rotatably to the lateral vertical end of the rear panel; and the front vertical end of the anterior segment of each side panel is jointed rotatably to the lateral vertical end of the front panel.

Abstract: The waste collecting box of the present invention, once it is fixed on the roadside, can be folded into a flat layered structure. Therefore, if the box is folded when not in use, that is, while collection of wastes is not required, it will not markedly project towards the center of the road, and thus will not disturb the passage of passengers and motor vehicles. The folding and unfolding of the box after installment are quite easily performed through simple manual operations, and the box itself is sufficiently good in appearance as not to disgrace the scenery of the local area.
