This invention which is a product and method of securing a trash liner to a trash container consists of a thin piece of semi-flexible or rigid material into which has been cut or perforated an opening into said invention. The opening must be of sufficient size so as to allow the insertion of a section of the open end of a trash liner. All the slack material of the trash liner exposed on the outside of the trash container would be passed through the invention thereby securing the trash liner to the trash container preventing it from becoming mispositioned. The invention may also be used as a closure of the trash liner once it has been filled with waste and is ready to be removed and discarded.

A retainer and closure for a garbage can liner bag consisting of a thin flexible disk having a continuous uninterrupted peripheral edge and a centrally located arcuate opening extending through the disk, said opening defined by two spaced apart complementary internal edges of the disk, each of said internal edges of substantially constant curvature with one internal edge convex, the other internal edge concave, and the arcuate opening having two ends terminating within the periphery of said disk, each end comprising a slot defined by a continuation of said internal edges extending substantially perpendicular to the arcuate opening, thereby defining a pair of confronting cooperating flaps in the disk, whereby the disk can be utilized in a configuration in which a portion of the garbage can liner bag is drawn through the arcuate opening in the disk for restricting the bag mouth and retaining a garbage can liner around the exterior of the open top of a garbage can in which the remainder of the bag is disposed, and another configuration in which the compressed mouth of a bag is extended through the arcuate opening in the disk to close the bag.
