Abstract
A garbage bag set for improving trash maintenance and management. The garbage bag set includes a plurality of detachably interconnected garbage bags configured to be simultaneously seated within an existing trash receptacle. Such detachably interconnected garbage bags include at least a first garbage bag and a second garbage bag wherein the first garbage bag is removably lined with the second garbage bag. In this manner, the detachably interconnected garbage bags are coextensively shaped. The detachably interconnected garbage bags are further configured such that the first garbage bag is detached from the second garbage bag while the second garbage bag remains seated within the existing trash receptacle.

A garbage bag set for improving trash maintenance and management, said garbage bag set comprising:
- a plurality of detachably interconnected garbage bags configured to be simultaneously seated within an existing trash receptacle, said detachably interconnected garbage bags including at least a first garbage bag and a second garbage bag, said first garbage bag being removably lined with said second garbage bag, said detachably interconnected garbage bags further being configured such that said first garbage bag is detached from said second garbage bag while said second garbage bag remains seated within the existing trash receptacle;
- wherein said first garbage bag comprises
- a first open top end having a first top peripheral edge extending along an entire perimeter of said first open top end, said first top peripheral edge including a first pull tab provided with a first shoulder offset and exposed to an ambient atmosphere;
- a first line of weakness disposed along a major longitudinal length of said first top peripheral edge;
- and
- a first pull cord detachably connected to said first top peripheral edge and extended along said first line of weakness, said first pull cord being configured to remain exposed to the ambient atmosphere while said first garbage bag is connected to said second garbage bag;
- wherein said second garbage bag comprises
- a second open top end having a second top peripheral edge extending along an entire perimeter of said second open top end, said second open top peripheral edge including a second pull tab provided with a second shoulder offset and exposed to an ambient atmosphere;
- a second line of weakness disposed along a major longitudinal length of said second top peripheral edge;
- and
- a second pull cord detachably connected to said second top peripheral edge and extended along said second line of weakness, said second pull cord being configured to remain exposed to the ambient atmosphere while remaining ones of said garbage bags are seated within the existing trash receptacle;
- wherein said first pull tab is configured to be located adjacent to said second pull tab while said first pull cord is connected to said first line of weakness, said first pull tab and said second pull tab being configured to remain aligned along a linear segment of said first top peripheral edge and said second top peripheral edge, respectively, while said first garbage bag and said second garbage bag are seated within the existing trash receptacle.
