Abstract: A waste collection container has vertical walls extending up from a horizontal base and a raised floor supported on a ledge above the base to define a primary collection chamber above the raised floor and a liquid collection reservoir between the base and the raised floor. The top surface of the raised floor is sloped downwardly from the outer periphery to a central elongate grate to direct rain water and other liquid in the primary collection chamber to the grate and into the lower liquid collection chamber. When the waste collection container is inverted to dump the collected waste into a truck, water and other liquid remains trapped in the lower reservoir, thereby reducing the load weight of the truck. One or more drain holes near the base of the container allow the liquid to be drained out of the liquid collection reservoir.

Abstract: A waste/sediment collecting container has a front vertical wall, a back vertical wall, two side vertical walls, and a sloped bottom surface. Along the lowest portion of the sloped floor surface lays a debris grate which allows water and pieces of sediment to pass through (but prevents larger pieces of waste from passing). The collection container includes a sump directly beneath the debris grate for collecting heavy sediment which passes through the grate. Sloped walls along the sides of the sump lead to U-traps on both sides of the container that allow liquid to pass through but prevent any solid waste from leaving the sump. Solid waste may be removed from the sump by removing the threaded service cap from the drain hole. Located beyond the traps are filter chambers having drain holes for inserting sediment filters which liquid passes through and exits the container.

Abstract: A reversible sponge has four main cleaning surfaces including first and second oppositely disposed outer facing surfaces and third and fourth opposing, inwardly facing surfaces within a hand receiving pocket defined by a slot that is open at opposite ends. The sponge can be flipped inside out, by tucking the outer facing surfaces into the open ended slot and pulling the inwardly facing surfaces out from the opposite end of the slot so that the first and second surfaces now oppose each other within a newly formed pocket and the third and fourth surfaces are disposed on opposite outwardly facing sides for use. The four main surfaces of the sponge allow for greater cleaning capacity. The pocket allows the sponge to be worn on four fingers of a user's hand for convenient grasping with both outer facing sponge surfaces available for cleaning.
