    Abstract: A sanitary tissue dispensing system has a tissue dispensing box and a plastic bag dispenser. Soiled tissues are individually contained in single plastic bags that are folded to contain consumed tissue. Upon being placed and contained within the single plastic bags, the consumed tissue can be disposed of in a trash can without contact between consumed tissues with other persons. Spread of infection by bacteria, virus or fungi otherwise caused by contact with soiled tissue is substantially prevented. A folded plastic bag containing soiled tissue is, alternatively, inserted into a second bag, which is also folded prior to disposal.
