Automatic trash bagger

Abstract

The Automatic Trash Bagger introduces the concept of electronically sensed fullness and automatically tying a trash bag within a trash canister, which offers a more sanitary way to remove garbage from the home, office, etc. The Automatic Trash Bagger relieves the owner of the duty of pushing trash down into the receptacle to fit when full, pulling the trash bag up and tying it while contaminating their clothes and hands. Unlike the traditional trash can, the Automatic Trash Bagger is electronic and ties the bag for the owner or user. The only responsibility to the owner is to lift out the tied bag and dispose of it.

Problems solved by technology

Typical trash receptacles allow the owner to touch germs and potentially harm their household with contamination.

With typical trash receptacles, usually the owner ties the trash loosely, and when taken to the dumpster near their home, pests invade the trash, and eventually may invade the home.

While flies, mice, rats, or cockroaches are added to the mix as a distribution system for potentially harmful pathogens, the situation can evolve into an unhealthy state of affairs.
