  • Garbage can lid retainer
    Patent number: 4545501
    Abstract: The garbage can lid retainer is formed from a resilient strip of material to which are attached nonresilient strips at opposite ends. The nonresilient strips are provided with snap means for forming loops on each end of the resilient strip. These loops can be interlocked with the garbage can handles, and the resilient strip is sized so when the loops are attached to the handles of the garbage can, the resilient strip can be pulled over the garbage can lid to hold the lid on the garbage can.
