Self-venting trashcan system

17) A self-venting trashcan system, comprising:

• a) a trashcan with smooth interior;
• b) an extruded rigid polymeric strip attachable by attachment means on left and right sides of said polymeric strip to the interior smooth sides of said trashcan, forming a first air entry/exit pathway;
• c) said extruded rigid polymeric strip length being adjustable by fracture at easy-to-fracture parallel lines to be shorter than the height of said trashcan, thereby providing a second air entrance/exit pathway below said extruded polymeric strip and the bottom interior surface of said trashcan;
• and
• d) said second air entrance/exit pathway allowing trapped air accumulated between said trashcan liner and trashcan interior surface during first placement of the trashcan liner within the trashcan interior to exit through said first air exit pathway,
• whereby removal of said trash filled trashcan liner for disposal is carried out without vacuum pull back, minimizing the removal effort and tearing of said trashcan liner, and the trashcan liner is readily placed within smooth sidewalls of a trashcan and, when full, removed with reduced effort due to the release of vacuum created between the trashcan liner and the trashcan's smooth interior walls by entry of air through said second air entrance/exit pathway below said extruded polymeric strip.

18) For use with a trashcan having interior smooth sides and a bottom interior surface, the improvement comprising:

• a) an extruded rigid polymeric strip having attachment means on left and right sides of said polymeric strip appointed to be attached to the interior smooth sides of said trashcan, to form a first air entry/exit pathway;
• b) said extruded rigid polymeric strip height being adjustable by fracture at easy-to-fracture parallel lines perpendicular to its height to be shorter than the height of said trashcan, to thereby provide a second air entrance/exit pathway between an end of said extruded polymeric strip and the bottom interior surface of said trashcan;
• and
• c) said second air entrance/exit pathway allowing trapped air accumulated between a trashcan liner and said trashcan interior surface during placement of the trashcan liner within the trashcan interior to exit through said first air exit pathway,
• whereby removal of said trash filled trashcan liner for disposal is carried out without vacuum pull back, minimizing the removal effort and tearing of said trashcan liner, and the trashcan liner is readily placed within smooth sidewalls of a trashcan and, when full, removed with reduced effort due to the release of vacuum created between the trashcan liner and the trashcan's smooth interior walls by entry of air through said second air entrance/exit pathway below said extruded polymeric strip.

19) A self-venting trashcan system, comprising:

• a) a trashcan with a smooth interior having side walls and a bottom interior surface;
• b) at least one side wall having integral therewith an extruded rigid polymeric strip comprising an aperture located on a top rim and an aperture located on a bottom rim with a void or channel extending there between to form an air chamber;
• c) the aperture located on the top rim forming a first air entry/exit pathway, the aperture on the bottom rim forming a second air entrance/exit pathway below the extruded polymeric strip and the bottom interior surface of said trashcan;
• d) the second air entrance/exit pathway appointed to allow trapped air accumulated between a trashcan liner and trashcan interior surface during first placement of the trashcan liner within the trashcan interior to exit through said first air exit pathway;
• whereby removal of said trash filled trashcan liner for disposal is carried out without vacuum pull back, minimizing the removal effort and tearing of said trashcan liner, and the trashcan liner is readily placed within smooth sidewalls of a trashcan and, when full, removed with reduced effort due to the release of vacuum created between the trashcan liner and the trashcan's smooth interior walls by entry of air through said second air entrance/exit pathway below said extruded polymeric strip.

22) A method of using a self-venting trashcan system, comprising the steps of:

• a) breaking a rigid polymeric strip into a height shorter than the height of the trashcan, said break being made at an easy-to-break lateral parallel line perpendicular to the height of said rigid polymeric strip;
• b) attaching a first side of a double-sided pressure sensitive adhesive tape and attaching it to each of left and right bent portions of the rigid polymeric strip extending longitudinally thereof;
• c) attaching a second side of the double-sided pressure sensitive adhesive tape on both the left and right bent portions of the polymeric strip;
• against the smooth side walls of the trashcan to form a first air entry/exit pathway, and leaving a gap between the bottom of the rigid polymeric strip and the bottom interior surface of the trashcan that forms a second air entrance/exit pathway;
• d) placing a trashcan liner within the trashcan, now fitted with self-venting first and second air entry/exit pathways;
• e) smoothening air pockets between the trashcan liner and smooth side walls of said trashcan expelling trapped air through a gap between the bottom of the rigid polymeric strip and the bottom interior surface of the trashcan;
• and
• f) filling the trashcan liner with trash and pulling out the trash filled trashcan liner,
• whereby the trashcan liner contacts the smooth interior of the trashcan without air pockets and can be pulled out without vacuum pullback.
