The present invention is generally directed toward receptacle systems and methods of using the same. In one embodiment, the receptacle system includes a cup and a lid assembly. The lid assembly is configured to allow for removal of consumable items such as, but not limited to, fruit, nuts and seafood, while further providing a holding chamber for disposable items such as, but not limited to pits, shells and seeds that are left over from the consumable items. The cup, the lid assembly, or both may be discarded and replaced or re-used. The lid assembly includes at least one barrier surface or wall that provides physical separation between the consumable items and the disposable items.

A car trash can includes a fitting part fitted into a gap between a front seat and a center console and provided with a recessed part on one side surface or both side surfaces. A mounting bracket protrudes a predetermined length from one side surface of the fitting part and has a plurality of holding parts. A trash storage box has an adjustable mounting height by selectively fixing a holding provided on the rear surface of the trash storage box to one of the plurality of holding parts. An article storage part may be provided on the upper portion of the fitting part. An elastic part may be installed on one or two of the recessed parts to be elastically pressed when inserting the car trash can between a seat and a center console and firmly fit the car trash can between the seat and the center console.

A body for a blow-molded waste cart and a waste cart having a blow-molded hollow body with four upstanding side walls and corner sections therebetween, a floor, and a circumferential compression flange around the side walls and corner sections is disclosed. The waste cart may also include an axle and wheels mounted to a side wall and a handle assembly with lid also mounted to a side wall. The circumferential compression flange may have a generally consistent width and thickness at each of the side walls and corner sections and the lid rim meets the circumferential compression flange when the lid is closed. A method of forming a blow-molded waste cart body is also disclosed. The process includes melting a polymer material to form a parison, enclosing the parison in a main mold, pressurizing the parison within the mold and moving a secondary mold section onto the main mold squeezing the polymer outward to a gap between the secondary mold and main mold to form the circumferential flange.

Various trashcans, their coatings, and coatings for other household goods are disclosed. In certain implementations, the disclosed coatings are antimicrobial. Various methods for forming antimicrobial coatings for household goods are also disclosed. In some embodiments, the antimicrobial coating comprises a substrate and an antimicrobial agent. In certain implementations the coating can be applied to a household good where the coating leaves a substantially streak-free finish. Some embodiments pertain to protective films that can be removed from a coated household good without leaving residue.
