A trashcan includes a container having a base and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from the base forming an interior space for receipt of a trash bag therein; and a trash bag retention member disposed on the peripheral wall, the retention member defining a passageway into the interior space of the container and comprising a plurality of resilient, flexible fingers configured to receive and retain therebetween a portion of a trash bag. Each finger includes a portion thereof that extends away from the peripheral wall. Each finger is “bent” and extends away from the peripheral wall. A finger may extend away from the peripheral wall on the exterior of the container, away from the peripheral wall on the interior of the container, or both. A method of making the trashcan includes injection molding the container and the retention member separately or, alternatively, together.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a trashcan, comprising (a) forming a container having a base and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from the base, the peripheral wall and the base defining an interior space of the container for receiving a trash bag, wherein an aperture is formed
What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a trashcan, comprising (a) forming a container having a base and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from the base, the peripheral wall and the base defining an interior space of the container for receiving a trash bag, wherein an aperture is formed in the peripheral wall; (b) forming a trash bag retention member including flexible, resilient fingers arranged about an opening and configured to grasp and retain a portion of a trash bag when the trash bag portion is inserted through the opening, the trash bag retention member defining a peripheral channel that at least partially bounds the arrangement of fingers; and (c) attaching the trash bag retention member to the container by positioning the retention member within the aperture formed in the peripheral wall such that a portion of the peripheral wall is received within the channel, and such that the portion of the trash bag that is inserted through the opening of the trash bag retention member is received within the interior space of the container; (d) wherein the trash bag retention member is attached to the container such that the peripheral wall and the trash bag retention member each define part of a rim of the trashcan. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the trash bag retention member is attached to the container with a mechanical bond. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the trash bag retention member is attached to the container with a chemical bond. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the trash bag retention member is thermowelded to the container. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of attaching the trash bag retention member to the container includes snapping the trash bag retention member into place within the aperture. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the container is formed with a plurality of apertures and a plurality of trash bag retention members are formed for attaching to the apertures. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the aperture is formed adjacent a rim of the container. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of forming the container comprises molding the container. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the molding comprises injection molding. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of forming the trash bag retention member comprises comolding a frame and a flexile, resilient panel to the frame. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the molding comprises injection molding the frame and injection molding the panel to the frame, wherein the frame is formed from a first material and the panel is formed from a second, different material. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the step of forming the container comprises injection molding the container. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the container is formed from a third material different from the first and second materials. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the container is formed from the second material from which the frame is formed. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the aperture is U-shaped. 16. A method of manufacturing a trashcan, comprising (a) forming a container having a base and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from the base, the peripheral wall and the base defining an interior space of the container for receiving a trash bag, wherein an aperture having a U-shaped perimeter is formed in the peripheral wall at a top of the peripheral wall; (b) forming a trash bag retention member including flexible, resilient fingers arranged about an opening and configured to grasp and retain a portion of a trash bag when the trash bag portion is inserted through the opening, the trash bag retention member defining a peripheral channel that at least partially bounds the arrangement of fingers; and (c) attaching the trash bag retention member to the container by positioning the retention member within the aperture formed in the peripheral wall such that a portion of the peripheral wall is received within the channel, and such that the portion of the trash bag that is inserted through the opening of the trash bag retention member is received within the interior space of the container.
