The removable, decorative "cornice" top provides easy access to the inner liner. (no reaching over the flared top to remove the contents.) It fastens with a quarter-turn latch and can be locked. (US Patent No. 6,505,751 B1)

Kettle Creek Designs™ products are made of recycled plastic lumber and cast-aluminum, two materials that combine great performance in indoor or outdoor settings with the environmental benefits of high recycled content. Plastic lumber provides these superior characteristics compared to wood:

• no cracking or splitting
• no rotting or mildew
• solid coloration (no staining or painting)

The Tuscarora Series provides a side-by-side arrangement for collecting recyclables and non-recyclables together. These units can be used singularly, or in tandem and can be bolted together for extra stability. Solid, cast-aluminum lids attach to the container via stainless steel hinges. Labels on the lids direct your recycling and liter collection efforts. And, graphic panels with corporate or community logos, can be used on sides of the receptacles in place of the plastic slats.

The Confluence embodies a convergence of ideas into one thoughtful design. Its back-to-back configuration allows for the collection of recyclable and non-recyclable litter in one unit. Both sides swing open from the central support for unencumbered access and reduced lifting. The Confluence is constructed entirely of welded and cast-aluminum for long life and high recycled content.
