Abstract:
1. A universal post comprising: an elongated member having a proximal end for selectively receiving a trash receptacle thereon and a distal end having a stabilizer for vertically supporting said elongated member in an upright position when a weighted member is externally received and placed on said stabilizer completely covering said stabilizer thereby allowing the weighted member to be visible during use; said elongated member having multiple uses instead of a single dedicated use and said elongated member mountable on a ground surface that is paved and unpaved, said elongated member is solid and tapered along its entire length, said proximal end is larger in size than said distal end of said elongated member; and said stabilizer is thin, flat and substantially rectangular in shape and integral with said distal end of said elongated member and oppositely disposed orthogonal to said distal end of said elongated member at a distance sufficient enough to allow the weighted member received externally thereon to completely cover said stabilizer while the weighted member remains flat and parallel with respect to the ground surface and to said stabilizer so that the weighted member, received externally thereupon said stabilizer, together with said stabilizer, being sandwiched and wedged between the weighted member and the ground surface, supports said elongated member in a substantially vertical, stationary position with respect to the ground surface.
