Abstract
The present invention is a composite trash container that includes a container body defining a trash chamber and an opening that provides access to the trash chamber; a support mounted to the container body adjacent the opening, the support having a flange extending therefrom that is configured for rotational mounting a tubing cassette above the trash chamber, wherein the support encloses less than all of the opening to the trash chamber so that trash can be passed through the opening and into the trash chamber; a tubing cassette rotationally mounted to the flange of the support; and a tube sealing means for forming trash packets from tubing that is dispensed from the tubing cassette.

A composite trash container, comprising:
- a container body defining a trash chamber and an opening that provides access to the trash chamber;
- a support mounted to the container body adjacent the opening, the support having a flange extending therefrom that is configured for mounting a tubing cassette above the trash chamber, wherein the support encloses less than all of the opening to the trash chamber so that trash can be passed through the opening and into the trash chamber;
- a tubing cassette mounted to the flange of the support and eccentrically aligned with said container body;
- and
- a tube sealing means for forming trash packets from tubing that is dispensed from the tubing cassette, wherein the tube sealing means causes the tubing cassette to rotate with respect to the tubing to form the trash packets.
