Abstract: Briefly, the invention involves a multi-stream trash receptacle having a carrier configured for attachment to any number of like constructed carriers. The trash receptacle and the carrier may be used as a single trash can, with or without wheels, or the trash can and carrier may be connected to other carriers and trash cans to construct a multi-stream trash can suitable for uses such as recycling. In this manner, the trash cans may be secured in a side by side relationship with specialized lids relating to the type of refuse they are intended to receive. The dollies can be utilized without wheels or with them. The trash cans are removable from the carriers for dumping or cleaning, and replaceable to the assembled structure.

Abstract: The invention involves a wheeled trash receptacle having wheels slidable on an axle between an inboard position where the trash receptacle may be nested inside of a like constructed trash receptacle and an outboard position where the wheels are spaced further apart to provide for stability of the trash receptacle while being moved on its wheels. The wheel spacer is constructed as a one piece member that can be slid over a side surface of the axle to be positioned on either side of either wheel on the trash receptacle. The construction of the wheel spacer also makes removal of the wheel spacer an easy task should the user want to change the configuration of the trash receptacle at any time.
