The walls and bottom panel of the base portion together define a bag storage space, and the walls and the bottom panel of the body portion together define a trash storage space. The bottom panel of the body portion provides an opening for accessing the bag storage space of the base portion. The lid portion has a front, a rear and two opposing vertical side walls with an upfacing lip secured to an upfacing edge of the walls. A top panel is hingeably mounted the lip so as to be moveable between an open, vertically upright position and a closed, horizontal position in which the trash storage space of the body portion is completely sealed.
