Abstract
Abstract A garbage receptacle includes a container with a hinged top giving access to a sack suspended from a holding frame, the rim of the sack mouth being crimped over a holding frame which is fastened to a hinged side door of the container. A closure mechanism mounted on the frame, such as a contractile peripheral spring (12, FIG. 2) or a pair of coacting oppositely bent springloaded rods (27, 28, FIG. 10), is controlled by draw strings attached to a slide which is normally held by a latch spring in a tensioning position to keep the mechanism from closing around the neck of the sack. Preparatorily to removing the sack from the container, the side door is swung out whereupon the slide can be unlatched to release the closure mechanism which tightens around the sack neck to facilitate tying thereof by cords or the like.
