Linked Garbage Bags

Kleenex boxes are an elegant solution to holding large amounts of disposable tissue.  Not only are they wrapped tightly to reduce space, the act of removing a tissue preps the next tissue for removal.  So I thought to myself, why not apply this same concept to garbage bags?

My idea is linked garbage bags.  All of the bags come together as a single "sheet", with perforations separating the individual bags.  The concept works just like a Kleenex box - removing the garbage bag from the can leaves a new bag in its place.

My system of slits and hooks means that only one side of the bag will be attached to the can; the other side will need to be manually attached.  Linked garbage bags not only make it easier to replace the bag - the cans also provide a convenient place to store extra bags.



(Note: I think slit 1 should actually be on the "used bag" above the dashed line)
