Aircraft X.I worked the middle of the aircraft. I was pouring drinks and noticed the receptacle for waste is missing a cover. 14 CFR Part 121 requires that these receptacles have a cover for the purpose of containing flames. Two out of the four receptacles did not have a cover - IR (Inflight Report) XXXXXX was written. I wrote this same aircraft up for the same thing on DATE. (IR XXXXX1). (serial number - LP1; and LP2 have no cover).
Flight Attendant reported the lavatory trash receptacles in two lavs were missing the self closing flapper doors and had not been repaired when previously written up. There is no MEL relief for these missing doors; except locking out the lavatory.
