The Trash Tower is the next-generation trash receptacle that is specifically designed for managing refuse and cleanup for special events and commercial spaces that have a high concentration of consumer traffic. The invention is unique because of the following features and functionsâ€”from top to bottom:

The lid that provides strength and structural integrity to the frame has a circular cut-out that tells consumers that this is the preferred destination for their refuse disposal

The lid slides easily over the frame and â€œlocksâ€ the plastic trash liner into placeâ€”the liner will not slip or slide when the lid is in placeâ€”unlike a lined garbage can

The white cardboard panels offer a lightweight, disposable solution that can carry messages, logos and other images that elevate the consumer experience

The bottomless frame allows for easy disposal of both the filled trash bag and the Trash Towerâ„¢ after the eventâ€”the event coordinator simply moves the filled trash bag to a larger receptacle and folds the biodegradable and recyclable frame for recovery

The Trash Towerâ„¢ is an elegant, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective solution for trash disposal. Instead of hanging trash bags over doorknobs, that become clumsily filled with cans, bottles, plates, food, liquids, paper and other refuse, frequently spilling to the ground, the Trash Towerâ„¢ provides a framed, stable receptacle. As opposed to an open cardboard box, the unique design makes for:

Easy assemblyâ€”just fold along the creased lines and perforationsâ€”the tabs simply lock everything into place

No mess, no spillsâ€”the trash liner bag is secure and strongâ€”Trash Towerâ„¢ has selected an extra strong polyethylene 50 gallon bag that resists tears, punctures and breaks and is held in place by the interlocking lid

Promotional opportunitiesâ€”the white panels of the Trash Towerâ„¢ frame create advertising and brand reinforcement prospects

Fast cleanupâ€”the cinch-tie quickly and securely closes the filled trash liner bagâ€”at the end of the function or event, the lightweight, bottomless Trash Towerâ„¢ frame is lifted over the filled trash bag, facilitating routine removal

The primary target audiences that will benefit from this invention are civic organizations that sponsor outdoor events, commercial entities that cater to consumers in an unstructured environment where food and beverages are present, and households that are looking for an alternative to a plastic garbage can for tastefully complementing special occasions like parties, weddings, graduations and anniversaries.
