International Classification:

B65F 1/06
B65F 1/14

Abstract:

A preferred embodiment of the invention is directed to a pneumatic trash can having a built-in air blower system to facilitate ease of placement and removal of a flexible trash bag within the trash can. When an empty trash bag is placed into the trash can, the blower system evacuates air from the inside of the trash can so that the trash bag quickly and easily conforms to the shape of the inside of the trash can. When a trash bag that is filled with trash is removed from the trash can, the blower system blows air into the bottom of the trash can so that the bag can be removed quickly and easily. The trash can is further comprised of a drainage system for draining any liquids that may leak into the bottom of the trash can and for keeping the liquids away from the blower system. A preferred embodiment of the invention further comprises a method of installing a flexible trash bag in a trash can, as well as a method of removing a flexible trash bag filled with trash from a trash can.
