A refuse receptacle for receiving waste such as, for example, household waste, at least comprising a container , which, on its upper side facing away from the installation plane, has a container opening which can be completely closed or is closed by a pivotably arranged first lid , wherein the first lid is pivotable between a closed position closing the container opening and an open position exposing the container opening and back into the closed position, wherein the first lid has a recess which can be completely covered or is covered by a second lid , wherein the second lid can be pivoted or is pivoted between an opening position exposing the recess and a position covering the recess , wherein the second lid is locked and secured by means of at least one lock device against unauthorized pivoting and thus opening of the second lid in a closed position, wherein, in addition, the lock device , after pivoting of the second lid into the closed position, automatically locks in the closed position when the closed position is reached, each lock device having a housing which is arranged on the outside of the second lid and is fastened there and which has a pivoting hook which is held in the closed position by the force of a first spring and which engages with part of its length and its hook-like end through the second lid in the direction of the receiving space of the receiving container and, in the closed position, engages with the hook-like end behind a pin arranged on the first lid or an abutment formed or arranged on the receiving container , wherein by rotation of the rotary knob the pivoting hook is indirectly pivoted or pivotable against the force of the first spring into a release position in which the locking surface of the hook-like end of the pivoting hook no longer engages behind the pin and thus the second lid is no longer locked to the first lid, characterized in that the rotary knob is connected to a driver arranged inside the housing , the driver having a contour with a recess , the contour contacting a lever when the rotary knob and thus the driver are rotated, and pivoting this lever about an axis in the direction of the housing against the force of a third spring, wherein the lever has a projection which, upon a further rotation of the driver , engages in the recess and locks the driver rotated against the force of the second spring there, wherein, during rotation, the driver simultaneously contacts a contact surface formed at the pivoting hook and pivots the pivoting hook about a further axis to such an extent that the locking surface of the hook-like end of the pivoting hook no longer engages behind the pin , wherein, during the subsequent opening of the second lid , a first slope contacts the pin and pivots the pivoting hook slightly further against the force of the first spring about the further axis in the release direction, wherein in this further pivoted position the contact surface contacts an extension of the lever and pivots the lever further in the direction of the housing about the axis in such a way that the projection is no longer locked in the recess and is thus released, and the rotary knob together with the driver is pivoted back into the closed position by the force of the second spring, the lock device being designed in such a way that both unlocking of the lock device and subsequently pivoting of the second lid into the open position is possible by means of only one hand of a user. <EOS>
