A liner retainer device for attachment to a folded upper section of a liner of a waste container comprises an elongated flexible unitary body having a first side which is printable and a second side upon which is applied pressure sensitive adhesive with a paper release covering adhered thereto. The paper release covering is scored so as to be divided into three segments, one defining a first end portion, one defining a second end portion and one defining a mid-section portion. The liner retainer body is formed of a thin material having sufficient elasticity to be disposed over uneven surface and material without exceeding the elastic limit of the material and with sufficient tensile strength to resist breaking or tearing. The paper release covering can be selectively peeled and removed to expose the adhesive thereunder sufficient to be useful as and for an attachment and securing means for the retention of liners for waste containers and an aid for the closure of the liner thereafter for disposal of the used liner.

1. A method of applying a liner retainer device to a folded upper section of a liner in a waste container, the liner retainer device comprising an elongated flexible body, a first side of the body, a second side of the body, a first end of the body, a first end portion of the body, a second end of the body, a second end portion of the body, a mid-section portion of the body located between the first end portion of the body and the second end portion of the body, a pressure sensitive adhesive adhered to the whole of the second side of the body and a paper release covering adhered to the adhesive; the paper release covering being scored at a juncture of the first end portion of the body and the adjacent mid-section portion of the body and scored at a juncture of the second end portion of the body and the adjacent mid-section portion of the body so as to separate the paper release covering into three sections and define the first end portion of the body, the mid-section portion of the body and the second end portion of the body, the paper release covering being selectively removable to expose the adhesive adhered to the second side of the body; the method comprising the steps of:removing the paper release covering from the first end portion of the body revealing the adhesive on the first end portion;adhering the first end portion to the folded upper section of the liner;gathering the liner taut around the waste container; andremoving the paper release of the second end portion revealing the adhesive on the second end portion;adhering the second end portion of the body from which the paper covering has been to the liner to secure the upper section of the liner about the waste container;leaving the paper covering of a mid-section portion intact covering the adhesive;separating the mid-section portion of the liner retainer device from the first end portion and the second end portion;gathering the upper section of the liner; andremoving the paper covering form the mid-section to reveal the adhesive on the mid-portion; adhering the mid-section portion from which the paper covering has been removed to reveal the adhesive around the gathered upper section of the liner.
