Abstract: A wastebasket for receiving a trash can liner and for facilitating the ready removal of the liner from the wastebasket. The wastebasket includes a main body portion in a generally rectilinear configuration. The upper edge of the front wall is at an elevation lower than the upper edge of the rear wall. Two side walls have parallel horizontal lower edges and parallel upper edges and parallel vertical side edges therebetween. A generally rectangular bottom wall with front, rear and side edges couples the lower edges of the front, rear and side walls. A plurality of apertures are formed in the front and side walls adjacent to the bottom wall to facilitate the removal of a trash liner by allowing for release of suction of a liner located upon and supported by the upper edges of the front, rear and side walls.
