Abstract: An assembly includes an outer container. The outer container has a top rim defining a mouth of the outer container, and the outer container defines a side opening in a wall thereof. The assembly also includes an interior container. The interior container includes a bag engaging member. The interior container is located within the outer container such that the engaging member covers the side opening in the outer container. The bag engaging member is configured to receive and retain a pliable liner that is disposed within the interior container. The bag engaging member is an insert that is located within an opening in a wall of the interior container or, alternatively, is formed in a wall of the interior container.

Abstract: An insert for placement in an opening of a trashcan assembly includes a plurality of resilient, flexible fingers that define a passageway and that are configured to receive and retain a portion of a pliable liner that is extended through the passageway. The insert may be round or elliptical. The fingers define an open space there between in the shape of an “X”. Furthermore, each finger may include a portion thereof that extends in a first direction and then curves back to extend in a generally opposite direction. In this regard, each finger may be “L” shaped, “J” shaped, or “T” shaped. The insert further may include a circumferentially extending channel that fully encircles a circumferential periphery of the insert. Each finger is resilient and flexible and returns to an initial position after being deflected when a portion of a liner is inserted through the passageway.

Abstract: A trashcan assembly includes a trashcan container and an attachment member. The attachment member is received on a rim of the trashcan container. The attachment member includes at least one bag engaging member. The bag engaging member is formed in a wall of the attachment member or, alternatively, is an insert that is located within an opening in a wall of the attachment member.

Abstract: An assembly includes a container having a side opening and an insert located within the side opening. The insert includes a liner retention member that retains a liner that is disposed within the container. The insert also includes a peripheral channel that extends around the insert. A portion of a wall defining the side opening of the container is received within the peripheral channel of the insert such that the insert is secured within the side opening of the container.

Abstract: An assembly includes a container having a top rim defining a mouth of the container and an attachment member that is attached to and extends around the rim of the container. The container defines a side opening into an interior of the container from an exterior of the container. The attachment member includes a bag engaging member located in covering relation to the side opening.

Abstract: A trashcan assembly includes a container having a peripheral wall forming an interior space for receipt of a pliable liner therein. The peripheral wall surrounds and defines an opening in the container. An insert is received within the opening and is secured to the peripheral wall. The insert includes a liner engaging member defining a passageway into the interior space of the container. The liner engaging member includes a plurality of resilient, flexible fingers that are collectively configured to receive and retain a portion of a pliable liner that is extended through the passageway.
