• said cassette containing a package of flexible pleated tubing and being so constructed as to enable said tubing to be dispensed therefrom and downwardly into said opening;
• and
• a tubing pulling device rotatably mounted to said housing;
• said device including:
• (i) attachment means for securing one end of said tubing in said housing;
• (ii) means receiving said tubing in a wraparound manner when said pulling device is rotated to form waste containing packs;
