ABSTRACT:
An improved plastic trash receptacle to support a plastic trash bag, expanding to admit approximately a maximum capacity of trash. A plurality of slots (10), are molded into the lower circumference of a receptacle (28), resulting in an equal number of flexible side panels (12), incorporating a reinforcement bead (34), along the edge of each side, and ends of slots. The panels bulge outwardly as trash is compacted into the plastic trash bag (22), figure (8). The bulging panels result from expanding slots (36). After a filled bag is securely closed, it may be lifted from the receptacle. If the receptacle lifts with the bag, the user places his toes over the hand toe grips (14), to keep the receptacle on the supporting surface while lifting the bag therefrom. If the filled bag is excessively heavy, the user tips the receptacle upside down, containing the securely closed bag. Again, utilizing the hand toe grips (14), the user lifts the lightweight receptacle from the filled bag. Thereby, gravity is enlisted as an ally instead of a foe. Dolly wheels (16), may be incorporated on some models, mounted on an axle (26), supported by wheel mounting flanges (18), molded as part of the receptacle. All weather provisions include a lid, figure (6), and optional drain knockouts (24). About three knockouts will be imprinted only, into the bottom of every receptacle, and may be removed by user as deemed necessary. Standard upper handles (20), will be molded to each receptacle.
