Claim 14:
15. A trash receptacle comprising,
a frame defining a housing for an inner bin, wherein the inner bin has an open top and an open bottom, whereby the open top is closed by a lid pivotally connected to a top of the frame;
a base housing a foot pedal and a lid closing mechanism, wherein the base connects to the frame on an end opposite the lid;
one or more rods connected to the foot pedal at a rear of the base wherein the one or more rods extend upwards to connect with the lid;
a storage tray having upstanding walls forming a cavity, wherein a top of the storage tray is covered by a bin tray which abuts against the open bottom of the inner bin to close the open bottom and define a floor of the inner bin, wherein the storage tray and the bin tray slidingly fit within an opening in a front of the trash receptacle, wherein the storage tray can slide in and out of the opening with the bin tray or without the bin tray; and
wherein a downward pressure on the foot pedal pushes the one or more rods upward, whereby the one or more rods push upward on the lid which pivots open, wherein removing the downward pressure on the foot pedal initiates a downward movement of the lid and engages the lid closing mechanism to close the lid in a slow manner.
