Problems solved by technology

One drawback associated with this type of container occurs when the filled liner engages the side walls of the container.
This engagement often causes difficulty in removing the filled bags from the container.
Typically, the aforementioned one-piece containers are large and incapable of being knocked-down for shipping and storage, adding additional expense to the producer and thus the consumer.
However, the nested containers are bulky and heavy, offering marginal gains to an end consumer.
These types of containers suffer from numerous drawbacks for consumers.
One such drawback relates to assembly of the container.
These containers are often difficult to assemble, requiring tools and a substantial number of fasteners to align the panels and doors for proper operation.
In addition, such containers may require internal linkages for operation of the lid.
Typically, the structure of such devices are complex, requiring numerous small metal and/or plastic fasteners and connector members to maintain a structurally sound

Abstract

The present invention provides a plurality of injection molded plastic panels having integrated connectors. The panels are constructed and arranged packaging and shipment in a nested and/or stacked arrangement. Thereafter, the panels may be assembled into a secure trash container. The integrally formed connectors of the side walls, cover and bottom panel components simplifies trash container construction by integrally forming the connectors into the injection molded panels which are snapped together. The panels are formed of injection molded plastic to interlock with one another without the need for separate metal fasteners or connectors.
