Trash container having automated replacement bag dispensing system
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.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTAINING ODORS AND PROBLEMATIC ITEMS BEING DISPOSED
A refuse bag and preventative container combination used to eliminate odors or to contain problematic items being disposed of. In use, the odorous garbage or the problematic items are placed within the preventative container and the preventative container is then seal to either reduce or eliminate any odors emanating from the items placed inside or to prevent the items placed inside to escape from the preventative container. The preventative container is then placed inside the refuse bag and the refuse bag can continue to be used until it is full or it is otherwise time to dispose of. Other house problematic items, such as cat litter, animal waste, grease, or similar items can be placed in the preventative container for disposal.
Nested liner assembly for a trash receptacle with lid
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.
Trash bag retaining apparatus
The present disclosure relates to a trash bag retaining apparatus and system that secures a trash bag inside a trash receptacle and enables a sliding motion for subsequent removal of the secured trash bag. In particular, the apparatus includes a proximal end insertable into a support arm of a trash receptacle. The distal end includes a slide stop in addition to an abutment face that abuts the support arm upon insertion of the proximal end into the support arm. The abutment face is sized and shaped to match a size and shape of the support arm. Further, the distal end also includes one or more surfaces defining an inlet, positioned between the slide stop and the abutment face, where the trash bag retaining apparatus can secure a portion of the trash bag to the support arm.

COMMERCIAL CONTAINER CARTRIDGE SYSTEM
A container system includes a base including a body having a plurality of dividers defining a plurality of bays for receiving smaller containers therein. A plurality of tongues protrude toward one another from the plurality of dividers. The body includes tine openings for receiving tines to lift and invert the base. A smaller container is receivable in each of the plurality of bays. The smaller containers each include a pair of grooves for receiving two of the plurality of tongues. Each of the smaller containers is supported by a plurality of wheels and has a lid pivotably positioned over an opening.
CONTAINER SYSTEM WITH SUPPORTABLE LINER
A waste or recycling container system is disclosed. The container system includes a container and a rigid liner for inserting into the container. The liner includes a supporting structure provided on a wall of the liner. The liner also includes bag retention structures. The liner is capable of being placed in the container in a first position and a second position. In the first position, the bag retention structures are below an opening of the container. In the second position, the supporting structure rests on a resting portion of the container walls and the liner is elevated with respect to the first position such that the bag retention structures are above the opening of the container.
VEHICLE TRASH DISPOSAL SYSTEM
The present invention relates to a vehicle trash disposal system used for storing vehicle trash in a simple and effective manner. The system consists of an outer permanent bag having magnetic sealing strips on the top part and an inner trash bag that is releasably connected to the outer permanent bag. The magnetic strips on the top part of the outer permanent bag ensure that any trash inside the inner trash bag are kept out of sight and release minimal odor due to the sealing action of the strips. The system can also be built into a car seat wherein a drawer slides into and out of the car seat. The drawer holds a removable trash receptacle to hold vehicle trash. In addition, the system is ergonomic in that it allows for easy opening and closing even during driving.
Air-Ventilated Trash Container System
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.
SORTING APPARATUS FOR SEPARATING A RECEPTACLE INTO MULTIPLE SECTIONS
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.
