Abstract
A modular waste disposal receptacle system particularly suited for recyclable waste materials comprising a primary wastebasket and a plurality of smaller secondary receptacles, the primary wastebasket and secondary receptacles having substantially similar or identical overall shapes and constructions but different and interrelated overall sizes or dimensions. One or more of the secondary receptacles may be nested within the primary wastebasket with the longer or major axis of the secondary receptacle being oriented perpendicular to the major axis of the primary wastebasket and the top rim of the secondary receptacle extending outwardly above and contacting the top rim of the primary wastebasket to elevate and support the secondary receptacle above the bottom wall of the primary wastebasket. Alternately, one or more of the secondary receptacles may be placed in hanging attachment on the top rim of the primary wastebasket using a hanger member that may be removably and pivotally attached to the respective secondary receptacle.
