Retrofitted pouch for dispensing of plastic trash can liners

Abstract

A trashcan/liner dispensing system that is retrofitted to fit inside of a 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 pouch is attached to the sidewall of the trashcan through the use of double-sided adhesive strips. 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

 a traditional trash can with a bottom portion, four sidewall portions and an opening at the top for the containment of waste;    a thin pouch with a means for securing said pouch to said trash can, said pouch having a box shape with the topside of said pouch remaining open;    a disposable cartridge containing a supply of plastic trash bags for placement inside of said pouch.    
   
   
       2 . A method according to  claim 1  wherein said securing means are double sided adhesive strips attached to the back side of said cartridge.  
   
   
       3 . A method according to  claim 1  wherein the bottom portion of said pouch is beveled back toward said sidewall of said trashcan.  
   
   
       4 . A method according to  claim 1  wherein said cartridge is made of plastic.
