Trash can with integrated pouch for dispensing of plastic trash can liners

Abstract

A trashcan/liner dispensing system that is an integral part of the trashcan. The invention involves a pouch located on the upper portion of one of the sidewalls of the trashcan that contains a disposable cartridge filled with plastic liners. The bottom of the pouch is beveled toward the back, thereby minimizing the space usage of the pouch inside of the trashcan. By locating the dispenser on the inside upper portion of the trashcan, the size of the trashcan is not increased and the cartridge of plastic trashcan liners is not susceptible to soiling by trash that may leak from the liner that contains trash inside of the trashcan.
