Collection container for problem refuse produced in the household

For the collection of problem refuse containing toxic substances until disposal, the collection container according to the invention consists of an outer container (1), into which an inner container (2) can be inserted. The two containers are so designed that an annular gap (11) of equal width lies between the walls. The two containers (1, 2) are closed by a lid (3) which has three closure tabs (10) on each of the two opposite sides, these closure tabs being provided at their free ends with detent cams (9) which, from the inner space of the outer container (1), engage into detent recesses (8) provided in the walls. The lid (3) can only be removed if the three detent cams (9), lying side by side, are simultaneously pressed inwards from outside. As a result, the problem refuse placed in the inner container (2) is secured against access by children. In order to centre the inner container (2), a correspondingly designed insert lid (5) can be introduced into the outer container (1) and simultaneously serves to close the exposed inner container (2) during disposal (Fig. 1).
