A system and method for nesting multi-layered trash bags for trash receptacles. The bags preferably each have an elastic member providing compression to securely hold the nested trash bags in relative position until filled and removed. The elastic member is a rubber element or alternatively an elastic drawstring. A rigid member can be utilized in conjunction with the nested trash bags to facilitate the installation of the multi-layered trash bags into the trash can.

A receptacle-liner dispenser for dispensing disposable liners is provided. The dispenser may include a liner holder including one or more walls. The one or more walls may preferably define an interior configured for storing the liners. The one or more walls may include a dispensing region configured for providing a passageway between the interior and an exterior of the holder. The dispenser may further include one or more tabs projecting exteriorly from the holder. The tabs may be configured to perform a releasable securing of the dispenser to a surface.

A trash container having an automated trash bag dispensing system which automatically deploys a replacement trash bag upon removal of a filled bag. A supply of trash bags is fed into the main trash container by a motorized roller assembly. A pair of opposing suction pads are pivotally deployed inward and suction activation attracts the opposing sides of the bag to corresponding suction pads. Retraction of the suction pads functions to expand the bag to an open configuration whereby it is suitably configured to receive trash.

A nested liner assembly includes a plurality of nested plastic film liners held by a lifter placed inside an insert fitted to the rim of a trash receptacle. The trash receptacle may have a hinged lid. The insert is adjacent the rim except near the hinge of the receptacle's lid where it extends on the outside of the receptacle below the lid and around the hinge. The two ends of the insert may be fastened together below the hinge to hold the insert in position without interfering with the operation of the lid. The lifter rests in a channel formed in the insert where the insert holds the liners open for use.

The nested liners extend through the lifter and are held in place by a plurality of fasteners on the exterior surface of the lifter.

A receptacle system includes a front wall, a first side wall coupled with the front wall, a rear wall coupled with the first side wall, a second side wall coupled with the front wall and a bottom coupled with each of the front, first side, rear and second side walls. A first notch extends into a top edge of the first side wall. A second notch extends into the top edge of the second side wall and through the second side wall. The first and second notches are aligned parallel with the front wall, the rear wall or both. A top includes a front edge pivotably coupled with the top edge of the front wall and a rear edge configured to meet with and partially extend into the first and second notches. A through-hole is provided in the first side wall, the second side wall or both.

A lid for a storage receptacle includes a substantially planar top panel including a plurality of openings, a substantially planar slideable closure having a plurality of closure portions capable of closing each of the plurality of openings in the top panel, and a plurality of accessible portions capable of allowing access through each of the plurality of openings in the top panel. The lid further includes a guide mechanism capable of guiding the slideable closure between a first position and a second position, and an activation mechanism capable of receiving an input to move the slideable closure between one of the first position and the second position along the guide mechanism.

A device for collecting soiled objects, such as used diapers, comprising a collecting container (1) closable by a cover (2) having a cover section (6) with a tubular chamber (7) open at one end providing an inlet/outlet opening (8), said cover section (6) being movable between a first position, in which an object may be deposited from the outside through said opening (8) into said chamber (7), and a second position, in which said object may drop through said opening (8) into the collecting container (1) and a transfer bag (12) of a flexible material removably mounted within said chamber (7), said bag (12) being open at one end and having a bottom cooperating with an expel body (11d) at the opposite end, wherein the collar (12b) of the transfer bag (12) is attached to said opening (8) by a locking ring (13).

Waste bin liners, such as rigid liners, methods of using waste bin liners, and combinations of waste bins with a liner, are disclosed. In one example hook parts of a waste bin liner are extended in sequence over and under a perimeter rim of a waste bin, and laterally inward of a part of the perimeter rim. In one example a rigid liner has multi-purpose hook parts that lock to the rim of a waste bin, and also form lifting handles for removing the liner from the bin.

A sorting apparatus for separating a receptacle into multiple sections includes a first member and a second member. The first member is slidable relative to the second member via respective overlaid portions, and the first member and the second member are configured to engage the receptacle via respective end portions, to secure the sorting apparatus to the receptacle. The sorting apparatus is operable to secure one or more bags or liners within separate sections of a cavity defined within the receptacle, and is operable to increase and/or decrease the volume of the separate sections of the cavity through additional sliding of the sorting apparatus when secured to the receptacle. The one or more bags are usable for separately collecting different types of waste such as trash, compostable material, and recyclables, allowing a user to partition the receptacle and increase ease of collecting compostable material and/or recyclables in addition to trash.

A waste receptacle may include a housing, a rectangular rim defining a rim opening, and a plurality of retention tabs extending from the rim. The plurality of retention tabs includes a notched retention tab defining a retention notch between first and second tab portions. The first and second tab portions are configured to respectively retain first and second liners received within the rim opening being diagonally opposed. The plurality of retention liners is configured to receive a larger third liner. The waste receptacle may include a cinch extending from the rim. The cinch may include a cinch base defining a pair of openings, and a cinch tab between the openings. The cinch tab may extend from the cinch base. The cinch is configured to receive a portion of a liner received in the rim opening between the openings and across the cinch tab.
