Abstract

A trash bag dispenser for use with a series of trash bags and a receptacle is disclosed. The trash bag dispenser comprises a receiving cavity for receiving the series of trash bags, a cover including a slot for allowing trash bags to be removed from the receiving cavity, and a contact surface preventing separation between the dispenser and the receptacle during removal of trash bags from the cavity. The dispenser provides for use in which a first trash bag is removed from the receiving cavity through the slot and arranged in the receptacle to hold trash and is removed from the receptacle causing a second trash bag to be removed from the receiving cavity through the slot to allow arrangement of the second trash bag in the receptacle to hold trash.
