An attachable refuse disposal receptacle

Abstract

One or more embodiments are disclosed of a receptacle for collecting inedible food items discarded by spitting, such popcorn husks and seed shells. The receptacle comprises a receiving unit that has a upper end depending downward toward a collection unit and may generally have a funnel like shape. The receiving unit is configured to contain an act of spitting out inedible bits of food by an individual, making it more discrete and preventing the spread of germs. The collection unit is connected to the lower end of the receiving unit. The collection unit may include a closed end or an end that is closed by a connectable cap. The receptacle can be provided in bag having an adhesive backing that can adhere to a container, or in an alternate embodiment, the receptacle includes an attachment piece that can hook onto a lip of the container.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
