Embodiments of the present disclosure generally pertain to garbage cans. An integrated garbage can and garbage bag dispenser in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a container having a floor, walls and an open top. A portion of the floor is elevated and has an opening for receiving garbage bags. A lip of the opening slopes down from the opening to a generally horizontal, flat surface of the elevated floor. A drawer extends from a wall of the garbage can near the bottom of the garbage can, and the drawer receives a garbage bag dispenser containing a plurality of garbage bags. When the drawer contains the garbage bag dispenser and is in a closed position, the drawer is positioned below the elevated floor and the bags of the dispenser align with the opening such that the bags may extend up into the container through the floor via the opening. Furthermore, the garbage can is weighted such that removal of a full garbage bag from the can or a new garbage bag from the dispenser will not likely lift the can from the ground.
