Trash can with removable bottom portion for the purpose of cleaning
The invention being filed is a trash can with a removable bottom portion for the purpose of cleaning. As most trash cans on the market do not have features to facilitate ease of cleaning, a removable bottom portion would allow a person cleaning the trash can to get to leaks from the trash bag and missed trash more easily. The intent is to render the cleaner less exposed to the interior of the trash can. A person would not have to reach their entire arm into the can, but rather only have to clean the portion which is dirtied. As such, a trash can with a removable bottom portion facilitates ease of use and cleaning.

The intent of the application is to obtain a patent for a trash can with the notable difference of having a removable bottom portion.
This portion may be attached to the can intact with sliders/tracks or a swing hinge. The portion is either completely detachable or able to swing out on a hinge, as would be the case for a round can. The sole difference is that the bottom portion is removable or detachable, not how the portion is attached.
Claims
1. Trash cans are not currently marketed with removable bottoms and there is a convenience: in being able to detach the bottom of a trash can for the purpose of cleaning. The trash can proposed in this application has a detachable and/or removable bottom portion of the can.
2. The height of the portion varies according to design, not utility.
3. A removable bottom portion can be a feature on any type of trash can (e.g. a plain, standard trash can and/or a trash can with pedal or wheels)
4. Bottom portion is not 50 percent or less of the bottom of the trash can, but rather any removable portion that can be set down on a surface.
