Abstract

A nested liner assembly is a plurality of plastic trash liners, one inside the other, with tabs allowing liners to be pulled and separated, and which is held to a trash receptacle by a belt. A collar facilitates the assembling of the liners, holding the liners to the trash receptacle, and the orderly removal of the innermost liner from the remainder of the liners. Through a series of holes formed in the collar, trapped air inside the nested liners may be vented so that the assembly itself can be packaged compactly for shipment and storage.
