Abstract: A waste container includes a pliable plastic bag, and a rectangular sheet of stiff sheet material rolled and retained in the form of a cylinder open at its opposite ends and receiving the bag within it. The cylinder formed by the sheet encloses the bag, exposes the bottom of the bag enabling it to serve as the bottom of the waste container, and terminates short of the open top of the bag permitting a portion thereof to be turned out towards the bottom of the bag and to be draped over the corresponding open end of the cylinder. The described waste container also includes a second rectangular sheet of stiff sheet material rolled and retained in the form of a cylinder receiving the cylinder of the first-mentioned sheet, and firmly clamping the draped portion of the open top of the bag.
