Patent ID: 8348092

Claim:
A recycling bin cover comprising: a base member engageable with a periphery of a recycling bin; a plurality of frame members forming a frame extending upwardly from said base member toward an imaginary apex; a curtain supported on and forming a sidewall extending around said frame; a flap forming an openable sidewall in said curtain; an opening positioned on said curtain and dimensioned to accept materials for recycling into the bin; and one or more lifting members connected to said base member, to said frame, or to both, and extending to form a handle above said base member, said handle being spaced apart from said curtain and arranged to be laterally off-centered relative to a center of the recycling bin when the base member is engaged with the bin such that, when said handle is in a recycling bin carrying position, the laterally off-centered arrangement reduces interference between the recycling bin and a users leg.
