Abstract
A storage system is disclosed. The storage system comprises a lidless container having an upper portion. The storage system also comprises a reusable sleeve having an elastic wall extending from a first end to a second end. The first end defines an opening being moveable between an open state and a closed state. The second end releasably surrounds the upper portion when the sleeve is attached to the container. The storage system includes two or more magnets engageably mounted around the opening of the sleeve. When the two or more magnets are disengaged, the opening is in the open state and when the two or more magnets are engaged, the opening is in the closed state.
