Abstract: A garbage can comprises a bottom provided on the upper side thereof with a bottom seat made up of a receiving slot dimensioned to house an entire roll of garbage bags, two side plates having respectively an arcuate upper edge, a cover fastened pivotally to the two side plates, and a front plate. When the receiving slot is covered in full with the cover, there is a gap formed between the upper edge of the front plate and the cover. The dimension of the gap is such that the garbage bags can be easily pulled out of the receiving slot via the gap. The new garbage bags kept in the receiving slot are shielded by the cover, the front plate and the two side plates so that the new garbage bags can not be soiled by the garbage liquid seeping out through a cut or leak in the garbage bag containing the garbage.
