Abstract
A waste containment system includes a flexible bag having a moldable top opening and a flexible frame including an attachment mechanism configured to couple the frame to the bag.

Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A waste containment system comprising:
- a flexible bag having a moldable top opening;
- and
- a flexible frame comprising an attachment mechanism configured to couple said frame to said bag, wherein manipulation of said top opening causes said frame to change in shape such that the shape of said frame at least partially corresponds to the shape of said top opening.
The waste containment system in accordance with claim 1, further comprising a flexible wire positioned about said top opening and configured to define a shape of said top opening.
A method of operating a waste containment system, said method comprising:
- removably coupling a flexible frame to a structure using a first attachment mechanism;
- removably coupling a flexible bag to the frame, wherein the bag includes a moldable top opening;
- manipulating the top opening to change the shape of the top opening, wherein manipulating the top opening causes the frame to change in shape such that the shape of the frame at least partially corresponds to the shape of the top opening.
