One example of a nestable-stackable wider-based disposable container is composed of a plastic-coated paper frustoconical tube having its wider end edge connected continuously to the mouth of a plastic bag whose capacity is larger than the tube size. For storage, let the wide end of one container to receive the narrow end of another container. The plastic bag of the former is forced to push up inwardly and to cleave tightly to the paper side wall, allowing the later to be compactly nested into the former. For usage, one stands a container on its non-tipping wider end, places items in via its upper narrower opening, discards it as a whole unit when done. Other examples are described and shown.

A method for efficiently and automatically requesting waste collection services through the use of mobile communication devices is disclosed. The method utilizes a fill-level sensor or fill-level sensors attached to dumpsters of various sizes. The fill-level sensor is configured to monitor a dumpster's capacity in terms of waste volume. Whenever the volume reaches a predetermined fill-level set by the generator, an automatic collection request is sent out to at least one hauler capable of carrying out the collection.

A cassette to dispense a pleated tubing. The cassette includes a circular body having an annular channel housing with a central cylindrical core. At least one wall has an upper end with a lip disposed thereon. An annular cover is attached to the lip at the upper end defining a gap over the annular body. A tubing is disposed within the annular channel housing and withdrawn from the gap. At least one of a plurality of apertures is provided at a lower end of the annular channel housing. The apertures have reinforced walls. The apertures are adapted to be aligned with a projection extending upward from within a container.

A disposal box for used playing cards has a cuboid shape provided with six surfaces, namely, front and back surfaces, left and right surfaces, and upper and lower surfaces in an assembled state. The disposal box includes a slit that is provided in at least one of the six surfaces and enables the used playing cards to be inserted into the disposal box. The disposal box further includes viewing windows that are provided with a plurality of holes having a size at which the playing card cannot be taken out, and can allow the used playing cards contained in the disposal box to be visually recognized. The disposal box is formed of a paper or plastic material, and can be discarded in a state in which the used playing cards are contained in the disposal box.

A device for compartmentalizing a container, such as a waste bin, into several compartments incudes an attachment which is configured to be attached to an edge of the container, which edge defines an access to a space for holding waste, and a dividing body which is configured, in use, to extend inside the edge of the container in order to divide the access into a first opening of a first compartment and at least one second opening of a second compartment. The dividing body is attachable to the edge of the container by means of the attachment. The dividing body and/or the attachment is at least partly flexible in order to be adjustable between a first, relatively compact, position of the device and at least one further, extended, position of the device.

A debris collection device for collecting and transporting debris includes a shell, which defines an interior space. The shell is flexible and thus collapsible. The shell has a top, which is open for insertion of articles, such as debris, into the interior space. A pair of sleeves is engaged singly to and extends along opposed sides of the shell proximate to the top. Each of a pair of poles is selectively insertable into a respective sleeve so that opposed terminal sections of the pole protrude from the sleeve. The opposed terminal sections can be grasped in hands of user, positioning the user to lift the shell and the articles.

A dog waste bag dispenser device includes: a frame with a roll opening and an elongated opening, an axle assembly, a lower frame, and a bag clip with a slit; such that the waste bag dispenser device holds a dog waste bag roll, such that the dog waste bag dispenser device enables a user to easily remove a dog waste bag from the dog waste bag roll. The dog waste bag dispenser device also includes an attachment ring, which is configured to attach the dog waste bag dispenser device to an article of clothing or an object for easy portability.

A flexible bag assembly having at least one layer of a flexible material that permits a UV light source to penetrate through to sterilize bacterial contents on an interior of the flexible bag assembly. Transmission of the UV light source is maximized through the flexible material and to enhance a kill rate of bacteria within the interior of the flexible bag assembly. A bio-assimilator may be integrated into a composition of the flexible bag assembly to facilitate biodegradation by anaerobic degradation leaving no microplastic remnants.

The present disclosure relates to thermoplastic films and products formed therefrom that include additive components effectively compartmentalized based on diffusion characteristics of the additive components. For example, first and second additive components are localized on a thermoplastic film in a manner that as the additive components diffuse, they minimize or avoid interaction. Specifically, the thermoplastic film is folded over itself to create an air gap that causes the additive components to desorb, diffuse into the air gap, and then absorb into the film at a position across the air gap rather than diffusing substantially laterally across the thermoplastic film. By ensuring that the additive components diffuse up and down rather than laterally and by laterally offsetting the additive components, one or more implementations effectively compartmentalize the antagonistic components.
