  Here are some ideas that are occuring to me: A diaper disposal pail with a self-latching lid (odor control) with a foot activated lid opener. A car jack which is already assembled (maybe with an electric motor with a long cord to cigarette lighter), and easy to use at night. A garbage compactor.

  Maybe two types of garbage compactors: one for things to be recycled, and one for all the rest.
