Abstract
A recycle trash collector for holding and segregating recyclable materials includes a plurality of stackable modular containers having a first door hingedly attached to a front of the containers in covering relation to an open mouth and a second smaller door hingedly attached to the first door in covering relation to a geometrically shaped opening formed in the first door. The first and second doors are structured for swinging movement between open and closed positions. The second door and the corresponding geometrically shaped opening on each container are specifically sized and shaped to identify a particular type of recyclable material and to allow the material to be deposited therein. A plurality of dowel pins extend from the bottom of the containers and a corresponding number of recessed holding ports are located in the top of the containers, the ports being structured to releasably capture the dowel pins therein, thereby enabling the containers to be stacked in secured relation to one another in accordance with a select arrangement.
