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. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A pre-loaded waste bag system including: a set of pre-loaded waste bags including a first waste bag having first waste bag first drawstrings and first waste bag second drawstrings; a second waste bag having second waste bag first drawstrings and second waste bag second drawstrings, wherein said second waste bag is positioned inside said first waste bag; and a waste bin including: a first drawstring securing member including a first drawstring engagement structure; a second drawstring securing member including a second drawstring engagement structure, wherein said first waste bag first drawstrings and said second waste bag first drawstrings engage with said first drawstring engagement structure, wherein said first waste bag second drawstrings and said second waste bag second drawstrings engage with said second drawstring engagement structure, wherein at least one of said first drawstring securing member and said second drawstring securing member includes a plurality of hook-shaped structures, wherein drawstrings that are engaged with said plurality of hook-shaped structures form a grasping region between said hook-shaped structures. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein said waste bin includes a bag hem engagement structure that engages with at least one hem of said first waste bag and said second waste bag. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 further including at least one drawstring joining member joining drawstrings of said first waste bag and said second waste bag. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 further including at least one additional waste bag positioned between said first waste bag and said second waste bag, wherein said at least one additional waste bag includes additional waste bag first drawstrings that engage with said first drawstring engagement structure and additional waste bag second drawstrings that engage with said second drawstring engagement structure. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein at least one of said first drawstring engagement structure and said second drawstring engagement structure is an arcuate structure extending horizontally from the side of said waste bin. ### Claim 6 A pre-loaded waste bag system including: a set of pre-loaded waste bags including a first waste bag having first waste bag first drawstrings and first waste bag second drawstrings; a second waste bag having second waste bag first drawstrings and second waste bag second drawstrings, wherein said second waste bag is positioned inside said first waste bag; and a waste bin including: a first drawstring securing member including a first drawstring engagement structure; a second drawstring securing member including a second drawstring engagement structure, wherein said first waste bag first drawstrings and said second waste bag first drawstrings engage with said first drawstring engagement structure, wherein said first waste bag second drawstrings and said second waste bag second drawstrings engage with said second drawstring engagement structure, wherein at least one of said first drawstring engagement structure and said second drawstring engagement structure is a carabiner.
