A selectively removable receptacle with securing elements for engaging a container is provided. The selectively removable receptacle may be configured as a bag for use in various containers, such as, but not limited to, trash and/or recycling containers. The receptacle or bag may include one or more securing elements, such as adhesives, that secure the bag to the inside of the container while concealing the presence of the bag when viewing the container from the outside. The adhesive elements prevent the bag from falling or sliding down into the container either by gravity or when items are placed inside the bag that is positioned inside the container.

A waste container has a first part having a first opening, and a second part. Fastening means are arranged to fasten and seal the second part to the first opening. Sealing surfaces together provide a radial press seal around the first opening. A snap lock of the cooperating fastening means is activated by the second part moving in a first direction in relation to the first part into the fastened position. Depth-controlling elements limit the movement of the second part in relation to the first part in the first direction beyond the point of activation. The first part and the second cap part are both made from a plastic material comprising at least 30% by volume wooden fibers. The use of such a waste container is also described.

A dog waste bag carrier device is provided. The device is designed to provide a sanitary, discreet, and hands-free solution for temporarily storing used dog waste bags until proper disposal is available. The device comprises a collapsible, accordion-style body made from silicone for flexibility, durability, and ease of cleaning. A base section is attachable via snap-fit or twist-lock mechanisms and serves as an optional secondary compartment for treats, water, or additional waste bags. The lid assembly includes a two-section design, with one section securing to the body and the other housing a roll of waste bags, which are dispensed through an integrated slot. The waste bags are preferably biodegradable and may include an odor-barrier film or fragrance for enhanced user experience. Silicone gaskets ensure an airtight and watertight seal to prevent odor and leakage. The device attaches easily to a leash, belt, or bag via a carabiner, for convenient transport.
