Bag assembly for recycling

A disposable bag assembly having a closed bottom and an open top, retaining means normally attached to portions of the bag material, the retention means having a lower yield strength than the bag material thereby allowing said bag to expand to second volume when the retaining means is detached from the bag material without rupturing the material of said bag assembly, said bag assembly comprising an inner and an outer bag, said inner bag being nested within said outer bag, and further including holes in said bags contained within an area that is within about one-third of the distance from the top edge of said bags so as to prevent fluid within said inner bag from leaking out through said outer bag when said bag system is upright as within a waste container.

A disposable bag assembly in combination with a container, the bag assembly having a closed bottom and an open top, and a gusset, said gusset defining a pair of gusset panels joined along an edge;

• the disposable bag assembly further comprising retention means operatively associated with said gusset, the retention means holding the gusset in a normally closed position, said retention means having a lower yield strength than the bag material thereby allowing said bag to expand so that the gusset expands from its normally closed position without rupturing the material of said bag, the container having an open top end and dimensioned to fit around said bag assembly, said container having a recess formed peripherally around said top opening, means operatively associated with said container to hold the top of said bag assembly when it is positioned over said open end, thereby keeping said bag assembly open and preventing it from moving down into said container.

A disposable bag assembly in combination with a container, the disposable bag assembly having a closed bottom and an open top, retaining means normally attaching two portions of the bag material together, the retention means having a lower yield strength than the bag material thereby allowing the the two portions of bag material to be detached from one another without rupturing the material of said bag assembly;

• the container having an open top end and dimensioned to fit around said bag assembly, said container having a recess formed peripherally around said top opening, means operatively associated with said container to hold the top of said bag assembly when it is positioned over said open end, thereby keeping said bag assembly open and preventing it from moving down into said container and a lid connected to the container and fitted over said open end of said bag assembly.

A disposable bag assembly having a closed bottom and an open top, and at least one gusset, said gusset defining a pair of gusset panels joined along an edge and retention means operatively associated with said gusset, said retention means holding said gusset in a normally closed position, said bag assembly further comprising at least one fold along said closed bottom, and an additional retention means operatively associated with said fold holding said fold in a normally closed position, wherein the retention means and additional retention means have a lower yield strength than the bag material, thereby allowing said bag to expand without rupturing the material of said bag, the fold allowing for expansion of the volume of the bag in a direction toward the bottom of the bag and the gusset allowing an expansion of the volume of the bag toward the sides of the bag.
