Waste basket liner securing apparatus

A waste basket lining bag securing apparatus comprising:

• a container having a container wall with an outer surface and an inner surface having four sides, each side having a bottom end and a top end, a bottom connected to the bottom ends of the four sides and a rim connected to the top ends of the four sides;
• at least two aperture cutouts, each defined by a frangible line on one of two opposing sides of the container, wherein each frangible line defines a pair or linear converging slots extending downwardly relative to the top end of the container, wherein each converging slot has an inner edge and an outer edge, wherein the inner edges of each pair of converging slots form an apex with a radiused convex end planar with the side of the container, and wherein the outer edges of each pair of converging slots terminate in a circular or ovoid aperture formed about the field of the apex, wherein the circular or ovoid aperture is more distal from the top end than the converging slots;
• and,
• at least one aperture cover that conforms to the general shape of one of the at least two aperture cutouts, wherein the at least one aperture cover may be secured to the container wall defining one of at least two lining bag retaining apertures formed when the frangible lines are fragmented to separate the at least two aperture cutouts from the container.
