Abstract: A sorting device has a base with an upper horizontal support surface having an outer mounting edge to which a tray is hingedly connected. The tray has a bottom wall providing a sorting surface and sidewalls around the periphery of the bottom wall. The sidewalls have converging portions that converge toward a discharge end to define a discharge opening. The hinge is attached to the bottom of the tray at a location spaced inwardly from the discharge end to permit the tray to be pivoted between a sorting position, in which its bottom wall rests on the support surface, and a discharge position, in which the discharge end is tilted downwardly relative to the mounting edge to allow discharge of articles from the sorting surface, through the discharge opening, and into a container placed adjacent to the base. The base may have a box-like configuration and provide storage space for containers. In such case, the tray preferably covers the open top of the base.
