The Adjustable Chute is a user friendly product for consumers to dispose of lawn debris and or grass clippings collected from a grass catcher from a lawn mower. The Adjustable Chute is constructed of durable materials for longevity and reliability purposes. The unique design of the Adjustable Chute with the upper portion rectangular for easy attachment of the grass catchers itself, and lower portion tapered for easy disposal of yard waste or grass clippings, allows hands free transfer of yard waste from a grass catcher through the Adjustable Chute into the waiting collection brown bag. The Adjustable was conceived through personal necessity after realizing how incredibly difficult it is to transfer grass clippings after being collected in a grass catcher from the grass catcher into the brown recycle bag. This time saving product will give consumers peace of mind in knowing they can transfer grass clippings from the grass catcher effortlessly, quickly, neatly and without the need of ever having to touch the grass by hand.

The present invention is directed to a thermoplastic bag comprised of a front panel and a back panel. The front panel and back panel are generally joined along a first side edge, a second side edge, and a bottom edge of the respective front panel and back panel. The front panel has a distal edge with the distal edge folded over the front panel to provide a hem and an overlap area immediately below the first hem. The overlap encapsulates a scent carrier that provides a scent to the thermoplastic bag.

A collapsible container has a collar that extends above the top opening and attaches at peripheral edges to a panel by a separable fastener.

Disclosed herein is a bin that has a first portion configured to hold at least one item therein and an adjustable second portion. The adjustable second portion is configured to couple with the first portion and slide relative to the first portion between a collapsed position and an expanded position. The collapsed position provides a minimum combined height for the first portion and the adjustable second portion in which the adjustable second portion encapsulates the first portion in order for the bin to be placed inside a receptacle. The expanded position provides a maximum combined height for the first portion and the adjustable second portion in order for the bin to interface with a mechanical device for disposing of the at least one item. The bin also includes one or more holding mechanisms for securing the bin in at least one of the collapsed and expanded positions.

A bag for receiving refuse may comprise a bag body, the bag body including an inside surface, an outside surface, and a rim defining a mouth. The bag may further comprise a first strip of material disposed on the inside surface of the bag body proximate the rim. The bag has an integrated polymer liner layer and is formed of a pair of valley folds and a pair of mountain folds.

A bag bracket. The bag bracket is a horizontal, planar, support assembly. The bag bracket supports a refuse bag assembly. The refuse bag assembly supports a collection bag. The collection bag comprises a front, a back, a bottom and two sides with top edges having loops.

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 refuse receptacle is disclosed, having a body with an upper and a lower portion, the upper portion having a top rim forming a gusset with a vertical wall and a horizontal wall, the lower portion having a bottom side with a base rim. On the back side of the upper portion is a handle attached to the body of the receptacle. The handle is attached to the upper portion by at least one projecting sidewall. A lid is included, having a convex upper surface and two sets of opposing sidewalls. The opposing sidewalls correspond with the top rim of the body. The lid includes at least one projection to attach to the handle with a securing plate and fastener. The lower portion includes a drainage plug so that liquids within the body can be easily drained. A pair of wheels are connected by an axle and housed within wheel recesses.

The basket has a bottom (1) and an upstanding side wall (2) provided with ventilation openings (3). It is composed of two identical halves (4, 5) which are arranged to be mounted onto one another to form the basket. Each of the basket halves (4, 5) comprises a bottom portion, forming one half of the bottom (1) of the basket, and a side wall portion, forming one half of the side wall (2) of the basket. The bottom (1) of the basket is a closed bottom but a seam (10) is present between the two bottom portions. Liquid is prevented from leaking out of the basket through this seam (10) due to the fact that the bottom portions drain from said seam (10) towards the side wall (2) of the basket.

Various embodiments of receptacle assemblies, such as trash cans, are disclosed. In some embodiments, the receptacle assembly includes a body portion with an interior space. The receptacle assembly can include a lid portion configured to move between an open position and a closed position. The receptacle assembly can include a pedal portion operably connected with the lid such that moving the pedal portion moves the lid portion between the open position and the closed position. The receptacle assembly can include a motion damper configured to dampen motion of the lid portion. The motion damper can be positioned near a front of the body portion and/or above a front portion of the pedal portion.
