Receptacle compression system

A receptacle compression system comprising:

• a receptacle enclosing an internal volume including a bottom panel having first and second opposite ends and first and second opposite sides, a top panel opposite the bottom panel, the receptacle including an opening to access the internal volume;
• a first panel extending between the first and second opposite ends along a first side of the internal volume, the first panel being coupled proximate to the bottom panel at the first side and extending towards the top panel, the first panel having a first perimeter;
• a second panel extending between the first and second opposite ends along a second side of the internal volume, the second panel being coupled proximate to the bottom panel at the second side and extending towards the top panel, the second panel having a second perimeter;
• a first compression mechanism coupled to one of the first perimeter and the second perimeter and configured to be releasably coupled to the receptacle proximate one of the second side and the first side, respectively, of the bottom panel to compress the first panel over the internal volume and towards the other of the first and second side, respectively, of the internal volume;
• and
• a second compression mechanism coupled to one of the first perimeter and the second perimeter and configured to be releasably coupled to the receptacle proximate one of the second side and the first side, respectively, of the bottom panel to compress the second panel over the internal volume and towards the other of the first and second side, respectively, of the internal volume, wherein the top panel includes the opening, wherein the opening longitudinally extends between the first and second ends, and wherein the first and second panels extend across the opening while compressing the internal volume of the receptacle.

A receptacle compression system comprising:

• a receptacle enclosing an internal volume, the receptacle including:
• a bottom panel;
• first and second side panels extending from first and second opposite sides of the bottom panel, wherein the first and second side panels each have arcuate perimeters extending from a location proximate the bottom panel;
• and
• a top panel extending between the first and second side panels, the top panel including an opening therethrough, wherein the bottom panel, first and second side panels and the top panel define an internal volume therebetween which is accessed through the opening in the top panel;
• and
• a first compression strap having a first end portion adhered to the receptacle on a first side of the internal volume and a second end portion connected to the receptacle on a second side of the internal volume, wherein the first strap extends across the opening in the top panel and compresses the first side panel towards the second side panel.

A receptacle compression system comprising:

• a receptacle enclosing an internal volume, the receptacle including:
• a bottom panel having a first major longitudinal dimension and a second minor transverse dimension;
• first and second side panels extending from first and second opposite longitudional sides of the bottom panel, wherein the first and second side panels each have arcuate perimeters, wherein the arcuate perimeters of the first and second side panels include a rigid member extending therealong;
• and
• a top panel extending between the first and second side panels, the top panel including an opening therethrough, wherein the bottom panel, first and second side panels and the top panel define an internal volume therebetween which is accessed through the opening in the top panel.

• a first panel extending between the first and second opposite ends along a first side of the internal volume, the first panel being coupled proximate to the bottom panel at the first side and extending towards the top panel, the first panel having the first perimeter;
• a second panel extending between the first and second opposite ends along a second side of the internal volume, the second panel being coupled proximate to the bottom panel at the second side and extending towards the top panel, the second panel having a second perimeter;
• a first compression mechanism coupled to one of the first perimeter and the second perimeter and configured to be releasably coupled to the receptacle proximate one of the second side and the first side, respectively, of the bottom panel to compress the first panel over the internal volume and towards the other of the first and second side, respectively, of the internal volume;
• and
• a second compression mechanism coupled to one of the first perimeter and the second perimeter and configured to be releasably coupled to the receptacle proximate one of the second side and the first side, respectively, of the bottom panel to compress the second panel over the internal volume and towards the other of the first and second side, respectively, of the internal volume, wherein the first compression mechanism is coupled to the first perimeter and is configured to be releasably coupled to the receptacle proximate the second side of the bottom panel and wherein the second compression mechanism is coupled to the first perimeter and is configured to be releasably coupled to the receptacle proximate the second side of the bottom panel.

A receptacle compression system comprising:

• a receptacle enclosing an internal volume, the receptacle including a bottom panel having first and second opposite ends and first and second opposite sides, a top panel opposite the bottom panel, the top panel including an opening therethrough;
• first and second side panels coupled to the first and second sides of the bottom panel, respectively, and extending towards the top panel, wherein the first and second side panels include a first rigid perimeter and a second rigid perimeter, respectively, extending from the bottom panel;
• a first compression mechanism connected to one of the first and second side panels and configured to extend across the opening to be connected to the other of the first and second side panels;
• and
• a second compression mechanism connected to one of the first and second side panels and configured to extend across the opening to be connected to the other of the first and second side panels, wherein the rigid perimeter of the first side panel and the rigid perimeter of the second side panel are movable from a first separated position to a second converging position to compress the interior volume of the receptacle.
