Abstract

A new form of trash receptacle that has an outer frame and a hinged lid. At the bottom of the outer frame is a housing designed to hold a large roll of plastic trash bags. The bottom of the housing is fitted with a space to accommodate the lid-lifting mechanism. At the top of the bag housing is a platform that supports a removable inner lining. The lower part of the lining is a rectangular box with a solid bottom and an open top. On top of this box is another rectangular box that has an open top and an open bottom. The top box is designed to interlock with the lower box. New bags are dispensed from the roll through a slot in the back of the frame. A new bag is torn off and the supply of bags remains in this slot ready for the next replacement. Two sets of bag holders hold the new bag in place.
