Abstract

A trash bag capable of being secured to a receptacle includes a trash bag body having a bag mouth, a hem formed proximate the mouth and a drawtape contained within the hem to close the bag. At least one elastic member, such as one or more elastic strands or bands, is adhesively attached to the drawtape and elastically secures the mouth to the receptacle. A method of making a trash bag includes adhesively attaching an elastic member to the trash bag body or drawtape proximate the bag mouth while the elastic member is in a stretched state. When released, the elastic member returns to an unstretched state and the bag gathers along the elastic member thereby providing a stretchable region adjacent the mouth.
