These and other characteristics are better deduced from the detailed description that follows, which, to facilitate its understanding, is accompanied by a sheet of drawings in which a practical case of realization has been represented that is cited only as a non-limiting example. the scope of the present invention.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a container according to the present invention, figure 2 illustrates a view, also in perspective, of the upper part of the container, which is open and with the compartments formed by several receptacles, and figure 3 shows a view, also in perspective, of the upper part of the receptacle, which is also open and with the compartments delimited by removable plates.

According to these figures, the illustrated recyclable waste container consists of a rectangular parallelepipedic receptacle (1), vertically elongated, whose mouth is closed with a lid (2) hinged to it, which is internally divided into three compartments (3), ( 4) and (5), the first being larger than the others, since it occupies approximately half the space of said receptacle (1), to house the waste of the material that is discarded the most.

The indicated compartments are made up of receptacles (6), (7) and (8) smaller than receptacle (1) (see figure 2) that are fitted by sliding inside the bone, or by plates (9 ) (figure 3) that are coupled, also by sliding, in vertical guides (10) of said receptacle (1), and in one (11) of one of the two plates, the plates (9) being able to be of other dimensions and distribute the interior of the receptacle (1) differently from that illustrated.

Therefore, this container for recyclable waste could be manufactured in any shape and size,

ES 1 048 973 U with the most suitable means and materials and with the most convenient accessories, the component elements being able to be replaced by other technically equivalent ones, since all of this is included within the claims.
