Claims9
A system for storing bags adjacent to or within a container with which the bags will be used, comprising:
- a container having at least one containment wall coupled to a bottom wall;
- a bag bundle holding assembly, coupleable inside the at least one containment wall, the bag bundle holding assembly including a base member and at least two support prongs extending therefrom;
- and
- a bag bundle comprising a plurality of bags held in a bundle, the bag bundle being removably coupleable to the holding assembly within the container;
- the bag bundle holding assembly being selectively positionable by a user on the at least one containment wall such that the bag bundle holding assembly and the bag bundle are positionable on the at least one containment wall completely beneath an upper perimeter of the container;
- wherein
- at least one of the support prongs includes a retaining portion associated therewith, the retaining portion configured to resist movement of the bag bundle from the at least one support prong to maintain the bag bundle in position on the support prong while one or more bags are removed from the bag bundle, the retaining portion comprising a raised portion positioned at a midpoint of the at least one support prong.

- a container having at least one containment wall coupled to a bottom wall;
- a bag bundle holding assembly, coupleable inside the at least one containment wall, the bag bundle holding assembly including a base and at least two support prongs extending from the base, the base being formed of a flexible material so as to be conformable to an inside contour of the at least one containment wall;
- and
- a bag bundle comprising a plurality of bags held in a bundle, the bag bundle being removably coupleable to the holding assembly within the container, the bag bundle holding assembly being selectively positionable by a user on the at least one containment wall such that the bag bundle holding assembly and the bag bundle are positionable on the at least one containment wall completely beneath an upper perimeter of the at least one containment wall;
