Abstract: This invention which is a product and method of securing a trash liner to a trash container consists of a thin piece of semi-flexible or rigid material into which has been cut or perforated an opening into said invention. The opening must be of sufficient size so as to allow the insertion of a section of the open end of a trash liner. All the slack material of the trash liner exposed on the outside of the trash container would be passed through the invention thereby securing the trash liner to the trash container preventing it from becoming mispositioned. The invention may also be used as a closure of the trash liner once it has been filled with waste and is ready to be removed and discarded.
