Abstract
A rigid waste container having a bottom and walls and a peripherally depending rigid shift for offsetting the bottom of the container from a support surface. The skirt has one or more spaced orifices and affixed to the underside of the bottom of the container is a ratchet bar. A holder for a package of waste container liners is mounted on the side of the container. The holder includes a pawl arm, an upright member joined to the pawl arm and a pawl escapement tooth formed on the pawl arm. The holder is located through the orifice of the skirt so as to be in slideable engagement with the ratchet bar. This arrangement is adapted to receive a supply package of liner bags located between the upright member and the wall of the container. The supply package is of sufficient resiliency so as to permit locking engagement of the package between the upright member and the container. The holder is formed of one piece construction and is flat prior to assembly. The holder may be bent into an L-shape configuration and is retained in this configuration by a latching mechanism.
