ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a trash bag which may be quickly and conveniently secured to a trash bag which further includes an integral disinfecting means therein. The device includes a bag member having an interior surface, an exterior surface, a closed end and an open end. Integral with the periphery of the open end is an elasotmeric band for selectively expanding the diameter or circumference thereof. Attached to the exterior surface of the bag member and overlaying the band is an annular retainer having a plurality of protrusions integral with its outer surface for frictionally engaging the exterior surface of a trash can. The open end of the bag member may be folded about a trash can whereby the integral elastomeric band will compress the retainer tightly against the exterior of the trash can. Attached to the interior surface of the bag member are a plurality of rupturable pods each having an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal or anti-mold substance therein. The pods are covered with a protective foam layer which prevent them from bursting prior to use. A predetermined number of the pods are integrally attached to the foam layer such that when the foam layer is removed the pods rupture. As the weight of trash within the bag increases, the remainder of the pods sequentially burst to release the remaining disinfectant substance within the bag.
