ABSTRACT:
A trash can having a trash bag storage compartment and trash bag counter device includes a trash can having a bag storage receptacle at its bottom end. A first embodiment relates to a device for visually displaying the number of bags remaining in a stack placed within the storage compartment. A weight biased rod drives a counter mechanism and rests on the upper surface of the stack so that when a bag is removed, the counter display output changes by a single unit. A second embodiment relates to a means for indicating the number of bags remaining on a roll placed within the storage compartment. An arm is secured to an end of the bag roll which rotates to engage a pivotable lever as a bag is being removed from the roll. The lever thrusts a vertical rod upwardly which is in communication with a counter mechanism display to change the display output each time a bag is pulled from the roll.
