Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus for securing a trash liner. The apparatus includes a retainer channel, a support structure, and a retainer member. A portion of an outer surface of the retainer channel is disposed to at least a portion of an interior surface proximate to an aperture of the support structure. An inner surface of the retainer channel defines an interior space for receiving a mouth portion of the trash liner. One or more engaging members of the retainer channel are adapted to engage the portion of the outer surface of the retainer channel with one or more first complementary engaging members of the portion of the interior surface. A flange member of the retainer member is configured to be removably secured to a portion of the inner surface of the retainer channel for retaining the mouth portion of the trash liner.
