Abstract

One or more embodiments provide a pre-loaded waste bag system comprised of a plurality of disposable, drawstring waste bags nested one inside the other. The waste bin is comprised of a rigid frame containing two pairs of securing members molded into or affixed to opposite sides of the outside of the waste bin walls. The waste bags are placed inside the waste bin, with the drawstrings looped around the securing members located on the waste bin. The innermost bag is removed by sliding the drawstring of the innermost bag off of the securing members and pulling the innermost bag out of the waste bin. The action separates two sheets of a releasable, scented square releasing a pleasant odor or perfume contained within the two sheets.
