Abstract

Abstract A refuse device for lining refuse passageway apertures and support members of whatever nature. The subject device includes a pair of flanges which are preferably telescoping and are mutually securable together such that their outer flange portions approximate the width of such support member. Suitable attachments are used to effect the mounting of the device together and in retentive relationship, relative to the support member the refuse passageway aperture of which accommodates such flanges. The outermost flange includes an additional flange portion proximate an interior, relief, and preferably roughened surface, this to accommodate the placement of a refuse bag over such flange; the latter is mounted by a rubber band, string, or other suitable fastening means. Cover means are provided.
