Abstract

The present invention provides a new and unusual combination trash receptacle, which is portable, compact, sage, and includes a novel storage compartment and garbage bag installation means.

Having described the invention what we claim as new and wish to secure by letters patent is:  
     
         1 . A trash can, comprising: 
 a) a base and walls coupled to the base to form a cavity to hold trash therein;    c) a hole, located within the base, and in communication with the cavity; and    b) a compartment, located below the base and attached thereto, and in communication with the hole, the compartment being dimensioned and sized to hold trash bags in a position so that a user can reach into the hole and remove a single trash bag and thereby line the cavity of the trash can.    
     
     
         2 . The trash can of  claim 1 , further comprising a closure device positioned on the compartment and being sized and shaped to allow a user to open the closure device to insert trash bags into the compartment.  
     
     
         3 . The trash can of  claim 2 , further comprising a hole closure device for preventing items located in the cavity from entering into the compartment.  
     
     
         4 . A method of lining a trash can with a trash bag, comprising the method of: 
 a) providing a typical trash can having a base and wall, which is coupled to the base, to form a cavity to hold trash therein;    b) providing a compartment, located below the base of the trash can, the compartment being dimensioned and sized to hold at least a single trash bag;    c) providing a hole located in the base and allowing for communication between the cavity and the compartment;    c) placing at least a single trash bag in the compartment; and    d) pulling the single plastic-type trash bag from the compartment, through the hole, and into the cavity to line the cavity of the trash can.    
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising the step of providing a closure device positioned on the compartment and being sized and shaped to allow a user to open the closure device to insert trash bags into the compartment to be accessed by a user from the cavity to remove a single trash bag.  
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , further comprising a hole closure device for preventing items located in the cavity from entering into the compartment.
