A segregated waste disposal device is disclosed which includes a plurality of waste receptacles provided in a main housing, each of the plurality of waste receptacles receiving one of a plurality of distinct waste products, respectively, including glass and metal. An opening within the main housing receives at least one of the glass and metal waste, and the weighted lid connected to the main housing crushes waste deposited into the opening. The lid may be opened either by hydraulic or mechanical spring mechanisms and a grate member provided within the opening and beneath the weighted lid allows crushed glass to free-fall therethrough into a predetermined receptacle. A sweep arm sweeps remaining crushed waste off of the grate into a waste receptacle other than a waste receptacle containing crushed glass.

A segregated waste disposal system is disclosed which includes a plurality of separate bins for receiving paper, plastics, glass, and metal respectively. Two openings are provided within the overall unit, one of the openings receiving paper/plastics, the other opening receiving glass/metal. The respective openings perform different disposal functions with respect to the materials inserted therein, whereby the glass/metals opening compresses the glass/metals such that the compressed glass will immediately fall through a grate into a glass bin and a sweep arm sweeps compressed metal to an adjacent metals bin. The paper/plastics opening compresses the paper/plastic and subsequently shreds the compressed material. Deflection to a respective paper/plastics bin is determined by an operators instruction achieved via a selection panel provided in connection with the waste disposal system.

Segregated waste disposal system

A connector to an external air source for a gas-operated gun having a cartridge piercing receiving assembly, including a threaded flange skirt and a hollow cartridge piercing-needle, and an opening to permit extension of an air conduit from the gas-operated gun to a pressurized air source external of the gun comprises a connector body and a nose bushing intregal to one end thereof. An air conduit extends through axially aligned passage bores of the nose bushing and connector body, a seating end of which is internal to the gun and is fixly held in air tight communication over the hollow piercing-needle of a cartridge piercing assembly when the nose bushing, which is threaded at its outer annual periphery, is threadedly engaged with a threaded annular inner wall of the flange skirt. The end of the air conduit external to the gun is fixly held within a connector assembly or plug engaged in a quick change coupler in communication with a pressurized air source external to the gas-operated gun or a quick change coupler of a manifold capable of communication with the external air source. Alternatively, a bored guide cap within a threaded upper outer annular periphery may be provided to threadedly engage the threaded flange skirt and receive, at its inner planar or tapered surface, respectively, a non-threaded spout or a tapered neck and non-threaded spout, respectively, of other embodiments of the connector body which is rearwardly supported by either a thumbscrew or spring coil system.
