A cassette for disposing waste is provided having a variable cross-sectional geometry. The cross-sectional geometry varies at least at two locations around the periphery of the cassette such that a first maximum height at a first location is different than a second maximum height at a second different location, and the first maximum width at a first location is different than a second maximum width at a second location.

The present disclosure describes a device for transporting waste or recyclable material. An example device may include a base and a collapsible sleeve, wherein the collapsible sleeve is movable between an open state and a collapsed state. The collapsible sleeve is structured to interface, in the open state, with the base to form a bin for receiving and transporting waste or recyclable material. The example device may further include an RFID as part of the base or the collapsible sleeve.

A container including a plurality of side walls connected to form a tubular structure. A lid is provided for covering a top opening of the tubular structure. The lid includes a separate compartment with a bag dispenser therein, and the compartment is accessible for dispensing a bag while the lid is in contact a top edge of the tubular structure. A base is provided at or near a bottom opening of the tubular structure.

Systems and methods for sanitizing, cleaning, and deodorizing a garbage can are provided. The sanitization product can include a disposable pad covered in a solution that is inserted into indoor or outdoor garbage cans. The solution may be configured to minimize and prevent the spread of bacteria and other germs within a garbage can, which routinely occurs due to spilling of food, liquids, and other garbage within the can. Additionally, the pad may be made of an absorbable material so that any liquids that enter a garbage can can immediately be absorbed. Different solutions may be applied to the product depending on where the pad will be used. Additionally, a kit may be provided that includes multiple disposable pads. For instance, the kit may include a dozen pads, or more or less pads, that help to keep the user's garbage can clean and void of unpleasant odors.

Tip bonded formed laminates, and methods for making tip bonded formed laminates, are made from multiple layers of formed substrates made from films which are bonded together at the tips of their formed protrusions. Tip bonded laminates can be designed with greater resistance to bending, improved resilience to compression, and can be patterned for directionally oriented responses to tensile loads. Also, tip bonded formed laminates made from multiple layers of formed substrates can use their layered structure to provide better aesthetics as well as better physical properties such as improved puncture resistance. Tip bonded formed laminates can be configured with thicker portions and designed patterns, which are appealing to consumers. A tip bonded formed laminate can be made from two or more formed substrates and can be used instead of a single, thick, unformed, substrate, so the laminate can use about the same amount of material, while still providing surprising functional benefits. Tip bonded formed laminates can provide these benefits without relying on more expensive polymers and/or high concentrations of additives and offer significant improvements at a reasonable cost, when compared with unformed, single layer substrates.

A garbage bin with filter case includes a barrel, a lid, and a filter case assembly. The barrel has a receiving space and an opening at the top. The lid is pivotally disposed on the top of the barrel to selectively close the opening. The lid has a bottom face facing the receiving space. The filter case assembly includes a case and a connecting mount. The case is fixed to the lid via the connecting mount so that the case is separated from the bottom face of the lid to form a gap between the case and the lid. The case encloses a filter room therein for receiving a filter and has plural through holes formed on at least a face opposite to the bottom face of the lid and a face facing the bottom face of the lid. The through holes communicate the filter room.

A waste disposal system with a compact footprint. The waste disposal system device accepts a cassette having a length of tubular liner film. The waste disposal device and cassette can have similar cross-sectional geometry. The waste disposal device and/or cassette comprise a first wall, a second wall, and a first included angle defined therebetween between about sixty and about one-hundred twenty degrees.

A device for transporting waste or recyclable material is disclosed. The device can include a base with at least one temporary attachment mechanism to secure a collapsible sleeve in an open state to the base. The device may further include a collapsible sleeve movable between an open state and a collapsed state, the collapsible sleeve including at least one opening for interfacing with the at least one temporary attachment mechanism to secure the collapsible sleeve in an open state to the base, thus forming a bin for receiving and transporting waste or recyclable material.
