  • Patent number: 5356452
    Abstract: The present invention provides for reusable waste recovery. The method of the present invention is to provide one or more cells. A substantially impermeable liner is positioned into the one or more cells. An impermeable domed structure is erected over the cell. Waste material and cover soil is added to the cells. The waste material and cover soil is added to the cells such that when each of the cells are filled, the ratio of waste material to cover soil is from about 1:5 to about 10:1. The cells, including the waste material and cover soil, are covered with a substantially impermeable cover after which the impermeable domed structure is moved to another cell. The decomposition of the waste is controlled and monitored in the cells. After a period of time, the material within the one or more cells is recovered and recycled. The cell can then be reused for further waste disposal.

  • Patent number: 4387927
    Abstract: A novel chair is made from a 30 gallon capacity galvanized sheet steel garbage can and the lid of a 20 gallon capacity garbage can. The back of the chair is formed by cutting away almost half of the upper ten inches of the 30 gallon can and rolling the cut edge of the can over a wire to form an upper edge of the chair similar to the original rim of the can. The seat of the chair is formed by inserting the inverted lid of a 20 gallon can into the 30 gallon can and securing it in a horizontal plane within the 30 gallon can by a plurality of bolts and a series of vertical straps running from the lid to upper rim of the can. A padded cushion is placed upon the inverted lid to serve as the seat of the chair.
