A removable waste scooper is suspended from an outer wall of the container. The user need only touch the handle and a scooper when depositing droppings into the bag. The lid extends over an upper mouth of the container to prevent water from rain or sprinklers from seeping into the inner space. Custom compostable liner bags may be provided with lobes that are captured within bag retainers on front and rear walls.

A device for lining a trash receptacle; the device includes a body and a top-lip, the top-lip configured to attach to a top of the trash receptacle. In some embodiments, a zip tie is provided to tighten the top-lip around the top of the trash receptacle. The device has a structured base allowing the device to stand up-right whilst in the trash receptacle. In some embodiments, the device includes a handle to allow for quick and easy removal of the device from the trash receptacle.

The present invention discloses a trash bag fitting device, including a vacuum assembly and a motor for driving the vacuum assembly. The vacuum assembly includes an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet communicates with the inside of the main body, with the air outlet in communication with the outside of the main body of the trash receptacle. With the combination of the weakness-free trash bag, problems of non-automatic or complex bag fitting and inconvenience of use witnessed in conventional smart trash receptacles can be overcome. The present invention discloses a smart trash receptacle incorporating the trash bag fitting device. The smart trash receptacle includes a trash bag detection device, including a transmitter for transmitting a signal and a receiver for receiving a signal, the signal received by the receiver is a direct signal transmitted from the transmitter or a signal from the transmitter that is reflected.

A garbage receptacle assembly includes a garbage can has a lid is hingedly disposed on the garbage can for opening and closing the garbage can. A pair of rear wheels is each of the rear wheels is rotatably integrated into the garbage can and a wheel lock is movably integrated into the garbage can for selectively inhibiting each of the rear wheels from rotating. A rear handle is coupled to and angles upwardly from the garbage can and the rear handle has an adjustable length. A front handle is coupled to the garbage can for gripping. A roller is pivotally coupled to the garbage can for steering the garbage can along the support surface.

A self-loading receptacle liner apparatus has a pair of parallel tubes, each with a longitudinal slot extending the length of the tube. The slot center widens to a notch. The tube ends are attached together by two elastic bands with the slots facing each other. Each of a nested set of liners has a drawstring within a passage at the top of the liner and accessible through an opening in the passage. The stacked liners passages are slid into the slot until the drawstring openings align with the notch. The stacked liners are placed in the receptacle, and the tubes pulled apart until they straddle the receptacle opening and placed against the outside of the receptacle. When the upper-most liner is full, the drawstrings are pulled from the notch to cinch the top of the liner, simultaneously pulling the liner from the slots, leaving the next liner ready for use.

A smart trash can having a housing with a front housing door pivotable to tilt to a tilted open position. A bucket is attached to the housing door to tilt along with tilting of the housing door. A trash bag liner cartridge is supported below a housing lid within a crown of the housing. The liner cartridge stores a supply of liner material for trash bag replacements. A bag sealing and cutting mechanism seals a top opening of a filled trash bag and separates the liner material supplied from the liner cartridge upon tilting the housing door to the tilted open position, and seals an open bottom end of the liner material supplied from the liner cartridge. A bag relining mechanism lines the interior walls of the bucket with the liner material upon removal of the filled trash bag and closure of the housing door from its tilted open position.

A waste receptacle includes a cinch tab and a cinch defined by the cinch tab. The cinch includes an opening configured to admit a liner portion of a waste liner. The cinch also includes a notch continuous with and extending away from the opening. At least a portion of the opening narrows in width in a direction extending away from the notch. The opening and the notch are configured to retain the liner portion to at least partially secure the waste liner to the waste receptacle.

A garbage bag storage and dispensing assembly and system is herein disclosed. The system includes a garbage can, a bag holder slidably mounted at a bottom of the garbage can, and a plurality of garbage bags. In use, the garbage bags are rotatably provided in the bag holder and are slid through a slit defined in the garbage can to sequentially dispense them. Thus, the garbage bags can be provided as an integrated piece of the garbage can, and can easily be accessed by a user when needed.

The present disclosure relates to a garbage bin, a bin lid, and a blowing-expanding mechanism, wherein the blowing-expanding mechanism comprises an air blowing member for blowing air to a garbage bag that is open on an upper end of a bin body of the garbage bin, so that as to make the garbage bag expand downwards onto inner sides of the bin body of the garbage bin. The garbage bag is expanded in the manner of the blowing-expanding mechanism blowing air, which expanding method is smart and quick. The new garbage bag has not been placed and touched with garbage, which is clean and hygienic, and there will be no peculiar smells flowing during the blowing process, which can reduce the peculiar smells in the environment.

A waste-basket-liner-bag-retaining apparatus including a pair of liner bag retaining apertures formed on opposing sides of a waste basket to receive and secure a waste basket liner bag. Reusable aperture covers can be secured over the apertures to occlude the apertures. A waste-basket-liner-bag-retaining apparatus includes hook inserts secured to either side of a waste basket to provide hooks for retaining an end of a waste basket liner bag. In another embodiment, two sets of magnets, each set formed within, or secured to inner surfaces of, opposing waste basket container walls of a waste basket container that secured magnetized hooks. A waste-basket-liner-bag-retaining apparatus includes apertures formed on opposing sides of a waste basket container, each with a retractable cover to secure portions of a liner bag in the apertures. The retractable covers may include rotatable bag retaining tabs.
