A pet waste collection system includes a first component and a second component detachably connected to each other. The first component has a first inner area to hold a roll of dog waste bags that is formed from a solid outer cylindrical wall and a solid bottom. A first flap encloses a top portion of the first inner area and has an aperture retrieving a dog waste bag. A pushbutton latch secures and releases the first flap. A hook attaches the first component to a dog leash. The second component has a second inner area for holding a filled dog waste bag and is formed from an outer cylindrical wall including a plurality of perforations and a solid bottom. A second flap encloses a top portion the second inner area. A pushbutton latch secures and releases the second flap. A hook attaches the second component to a dog leash.

A subpanel for a bag stand includes: a first side panel and a second side panel, each of the first side panel and the second side panel including a top end, a bottom end, two side ends, an inner surface, an outer surface, and a thickness defined from the inner surface to the outer surface. The first side panel additionally includes a connection finger, the connection finger connected to a first side end of the two side ends of the first side panel, the connection finger including a clearance portion and a clasp portion. The second side panel is at least indirectly connected to the first side panel and defines a connection recess in a first side end of the two side ends of the second side panel distal from the first side panel, the connection recess including a clearance portion and a lock portion.

A container comprises a plurality of outer side walls connected to form a tubular structure. One or more inner walls are near respective ones of the plurality of outer walls, defining a respective space between each inner wall and its respective adjacent outer wall. A lid is provided for covering a top opening of the tubular structure. A removable base is provided at or near a bottom opening of the tubular structure.

A trashcan assembly can include a body portion, a lid portion pivotably coupled with the body portion, and a sensor assembly configured to generate a signal when an object is detected within a sensing region. The sensor assembly can include a plurality of transmitters having a first subset of transmitters and a second subset of transmitters. A transmission axis of at least one transmitter in the first subset of transmitters can be different from a transmission axis of at least one of the transmitters in the second subset of transmitters. An electronic processor can generate an electronic signal to a power-operated drive mechanism for moving the lid portion from a closed position to an open position, such as in response to the sensor assembly detecting the object.
