ABSTRACT:
To divide a substantially rigid trash receptacle into a plurality of compartments defined by a plurality of disposable trash can liners, a peripheral support member rests on top of and interiorly abuts the rim of the receptacle. A plurality of dividing members extend radially between the center of the support member and one of a plurality of connecting points spaced along the support member. A plurality of fastener arms are nestlable in corresponding dividing members so that portions of the mouths of two adjacent liners can be sandwiched between each pair of arms and dividing members. Preferably, one end of each of the arms is hinged for rotation of the arm into its respective dividing member. A releasable lock may also be provided for securing each arm within its respective dividing member. A portion of the mouths of each of the liners can also be sandwiched between the peripheral member and the rim. Each adjacent pair of dividing members cooperates with its arms and that portion of the support member between the pair cooperates with the receptacle rim to secure the mouth of one of the liners. The liners in turn divide the receptacle into a plurality of compartments. The support member fits within the receptacle cover so that the receptacle can be closed in normal fashion.
