A blast resistant container includes a rigid outer cylinder, a rigid inner cylinder and at least one pumice brick. The rigid inner cylinder has a longitudinal axis. The at least one pumice brick is within the interior of the rigid inner cylinder.

Devices, systems, and methods for covering containers are disclosed herein. Embodiments thereof include a cover member, a support assembly, and a retainer assembly. The cover member having each of top and bottom edges and first and second lateral sides, together defining a cover member body having upper, middle, and lower portions. The cover member is configured both to be supported by a container and to adjustably wrap around at least a portion of the container to conceal the portion from a point of view. The support assembly is configured both to removably attach the cover member to the container and to adjust a vertical position of the cover member relative to the container, thereby positioning the cover member at the container, allowing adjustment of the cover member's tautness around the container. The retainer assembly is configured to secure and to adjust and maintain the cover member's tautness around the container.

In one aspect, a trash bag is disclosed, which comprises a plurality of inflatable enclosures (herein also referred to as inflatable bladders) coupled to one another so as to form a vertically self-supporting structure when inflated, where the structure extends from a proximal end to a distal end to provide at least a portion of a perimeter wall of the trash bag. A deflation strip is coupled to at least one of the inflatable enclosures for deflating said enclosure after inflation. The trash bag further includes a floor coupled to the inflatable enclosures so as to provide, in combination with the vertically self-supporting structure, a container for receiving trash.

The invention relates to a modular assembly for regulating moisture and temperature of content of a container, and the method associated thereof. The system comprises a moisture and temperature regulating device, said device comprises a condenser and an evaporator separated by a heat insulation layer; a container with moist content, the container and the moisture and temperature regulating device joinable by coupling means, wherein when the moisture and temperature regulating device and the container are coupled together, moisture and temperature associated with the container are regulated by the moisture and temperature regulating device.

A cat-repelling trash bag includes a flexible body having a deformably resilient inner layer, an outer layer selectively spaced from the deformably resilient inner layer, and a deformable cavity situated between the deformably resilient inner layer and the outer layer. A cat-repellant agent is dynamically located within the cavity. A plurality of divider walls are seated inside the cavity when the bag is at a non-tensioned state. Each of the divider walls being engaged with the deformably resilient inner layer and the outer layer. Advantageously, when an internal force is exerted against an interior of the body, the deformably resilient inner layer is stretched outwardly towards the outer layer. When the deformably resilient inner layer is stretched outwardly towards the outer layer, the divider walls are selectively and partially penetrated exterior of the outer layer such that the cat-repelling agent is released exterior of the cavity.

A trash containment system and method includes a container housing including one or more panels that define a retaining chamber within the container housing. The retaining chamber is configured to removably receive and retain a trash container. The container housing is configured to be retained within a compartment of a monument. A door is configured to be moved between an open position and a closed position. The retaining chamber is exposed in the open position and closed in the closed position.

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.

A blast containment system for trash cans includes a donut-shaped bag having a sealed donut-shaped bottom positioned at the base of the trash can, and an open donut-shaped top positioned and retained at a top periphery of the trash can. An open-ended tubular region extends through the bag between its donut-shaped top and donut-shaped bottom. A rigid container having an open top is disposed in the tubular region of the bag with its open top being coupled to the donut-shaped top of the bag. A liquid fills the bag.
