A garbage receptacle assembly includes a garbage can that has an open top end for having a garbage bag positioned therein. The garbage can has a front entry integrated therein to facilitate the garbage bag to be removed through the front entry without requiring the garbage bag to be lifted out of the garbage can. A door is hingedly coupled to the garbage can to close the front entry when the door is in a closed position. A plurality of clips is each integrated into the garbage can. The garbage bag can be suspended from the clips for retaining the garbage bag in an open position to enhance placing garbage in the garbage bag.

A suction based trashcan receptacle includes a bottom receptacle body having one or more openings extending at least partially through a thickness of the bottom receptacle body; a top receptacle body to engage with the top open end of the bottom receptacle body; the top receptacle body slides relative to the bottom receptacle body to move from a collapsed position to an extended position; one or more handles having a tension device to allow for the one or more handles to pivot, the one or more handles being secured to the top receptacle; and the one or more handles each having a protrusion to engage with the one or more openings of the bottom receptacle body to secure the top receptacle in the extended position; sliding the top receptacle body to the extended position aids in removing a bag of trash from the trashcan receptacle.

An air-ventilated trash container suitable for supporting a collapsible trash bag having an open-top hollow container body that includes an integrated sidewall joined to a closed bottom is provided. The integrated sidewall includes an upright inner sidewall configured with a plurality of upper air release orifices and a plurality of laterally spaced apart, generally vertical ribs disposed extending outwardly from the inner sidewall. The ribs define between themselves a plurality of narrow channels that extend longitudinally to provide a passage during bag installation for the escape of air trapped between the inner sidewall, during bag filling to allow the bag to fully expand, and during bag removal to prevent the formation of a vacuum that would tend to cause the retention of the bag inside the container.

A container is provided. The container comprises a cover, a base, and a body, which includes one or more spine structures and one or more door panels which may open and allow substantially lateral access to the interior of the container. The one or more door panels may be secured in a closed position by a latch mechanism. In a first mode, the latch mechanism is not released. In a second mode, the latch mechanism is released. The first mode and the second mode may operate concurrently and can be accessed separately via different mechanisms. A switch mechanism may alternate between the first mode and the second mode. Alternatively, a pedal includes a first pedal mechanism corresponding to the first mode and a second pedal mechanism corresponding to the second mode.

Various receptacle embodiments with expandable cavities are disclosed. In some embodiments, a receptacle comprising a first and second frame with a hinge permitting the first frame to pivot about the axis defined by the hinge to expand the volume of the cavity defined by the first and second frame is disclosed. In another embodiment, a receptacle comprising a first and second frame comprising a tension gear mated into a corresponding track is disclosed, permitting lateral movement between the first and second frames to expand the volume of the cavity defined by the first and second frame is disclosed. Other disclosed embodiments comprise lid and foot pedal assemblies as well as spring assist systems and other features.

A trash can for the collection and disposal of trash is disclosed. The trash can includes a base and a separable sidewall allowing for easy removal of a bag from the trash can by lifting the sidewall around the bag, rather than lifting the bag through the top of the trash can. The base of the trash can is connected to straps with a handle positioned between the straps. The handle may be engageable with the sidewall so that the straps hold the sidewall and base together. The handle allows for convenient carrying of the base. The separable sidewall includes a bottom opening defined by the sidewall without a constriction in the width of a base end of the sidewall. The base includes a perimeter wall to inhibit material from escaping the base. The trash may have an outwardly tapered shape to increase the overall volume of the trash can.

The invention relates to a lid mechanism, such as those for trash containers and more particularly to a lid mechanism which is operable with only one hand.

A trash bin assembly includes a collapsible cover assembly and a collapsible base assembly that removably cooperate with one another and are constructed to pivotably cooperate with one another when deployed. One or more bag supports are disposed in the bin assembly and maintain an open configuration of a bag disposed therein. A pivot assembly removably secures the cover assembly to the base assembly and is constructed to facilitate rotation of the cover assembly relative to the base assembly during service operations and to define a range of rotation of the cover assembly relative to the base assembly.

An air flowing garbage can assembly for includes a garbage can that has a garbage bag being removably positioned therein to store garbage. The garbage can has a plurality of air holes integrated into the garbage can to pass air into an interior of the garbage can. A plurality of conduits is each coupled to the garbage can and each of the conduits is positioned in an interior of the garbage can. Each of the conduits is in fluid communication with a respective one of the air holes in the garbage can. In this way each of the conduits ventilates the interior of the garbage can when the garbage bag is removed from the garbage can thereby inhibiting a vacuum from forming in the garbage can.

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.
