Abstract: A refuse container having features which adapt it to comply with federal laws and regulations facilitating use by handicapped individuals. The dumpster may have any or all of the standard commercially available features of a front-end or rear-end loaded refuse bin for automatic overhead emptying of the trash from the bin into a garbage truck. Access for deposit of trash by non-disabled individuals is provided by at least one top lid hinged to the body of the bin over a deposit opening, preferably in a top wall of the dumpster. For access by disabled individuals, a gliding door covering a second deposit opening in a side wall of the dumpster is provided at a height no greater than 34 inches from the point of contact with the ground. The tracks of the gliding door are specially configured to prevent or minimize the collection of debris and ice which could hamper the ability of a disabled individual of minimal manipulative abilities to open the gliding door.
