Abstract
A waste containment system includes a flexible bag having a top opening and a flexible wire coupled to the bag. The wire is positioned about the top opening and configured to define a shape of the top opening. The system also includes a flexible frame including a first attachment mechanism configured to couple the frame to a structure, and a second attachment mechanism configured to couple the frame to at least one of the wire and the bag. Manipulation of the wire causes the frame to change in shape such that the shape of the frame at least partially corresponds to the shape of the top opening.
