A trash can/receptacle purposefully designed to re-use and repurpose single-use, heavy gauge/robust, non-standard plastic bags from other areas of economic activity. The trash can/receptacle adapts to different sized non-standard bags by providing a flexible bag clamping clasp, variable bag height adapters and posts under tension that serve to hold the bag upright and open for easy trash ingress. Non-standard plastic bags are bags of various sizes and construction from other lines of economic activity that are not normally associated with trash receptacle liners and normally discarded because of their difficulty in being repurposed. The purpose built trash receptacle reduces the manufacture of virgin plastic trash receptacle liners by obviating their necessity by supplanting with previously used bags thereby reducing the propensity of plastic in the environment which can be harmful to life.

A free-standing device capable of holding a single storage bag for filling includes a plurality of arm sets, each arm set having two vertically extending arm extensions joined at their lower most ends to a shared horizontally extending arm component, the horizontally extending arm component of the first arm set adapted for pivotally connecting to the horizontally extending arm component of the second arm set. A method of use is also disclosed.

An angle bracket whose longer leg is secured to a sidewall of a drawer and whose shorter leg extends outward away from a drawer surface. An elastic liner or a mesh laundry bag is placed against the longer leg. When a pair of such angle brackets are secured to the sidewall and another pair to an opposite sidewall, the liner may press against the longer leg of each of the longer legs such as adjacent the respective bend, or a distal portion of a mesh liner's many apertures which, once protruded by a tab, may exert a force on the underside of the tab. Such s force is translated to an inward-facing force by the tab, in effect locking or preventing the method liner from collapsing. In that manner, the liner or laundry bag is retained and can be filled with soiled laundry within the drawer.
