1. A trashcan liner dispenser, comprising: a) a caddy shaped to provide a pouch defined by a front panel, a first pouch sidewall, a second pouch sidewall, and an open top end opposite a closed bottom end,b) a cartridge shaped to nest within said pouch, said cartridge containing a supply of folded tr
1. A trashcan liner dispenser, comprising: a) a caddy shaped to provide a pouch defined by a front panel, a first pouch sidewall, a second pouch sidewall, and an open top end opposite a closed bottom end,b) a cartridge shaped to nest within said pouch, said cartridge containing a supply of folded trashcan liners housed therein andc) a self-locking mechanism comprising, i) a first lock pin positioned within said pouch,ii) a second lock pin positioned within said pouch,iii) a first perforated retainer slot provided along a surface of said cartridge and positioned to engage said first lock pin when the cartridge is inserted into said pouch, andiv) a second perforated retainer slot provided along a surface of said cartridge and positioned to engage said second lock pin when the cartridge is inserted into said pouch; whereby said first lock pin and said second lock pin are each shaped to tear open and self-lock within said first perforated retainer slot and said second perforated retainer slot of an inserted cartridge, said first self-locked pin and said second self-locked pin each positioned within said inserted cartridge at a location that neither contacts the supply of folded liners nor interferes with a liner that is pulled from said supply of folded liners through an access opening provided in the inserted cartridge. 2. The trashcan liner dispenser recited in claim 1, whereby: a tension break force required to disengage the inserted cartridge from said first self-locked pin and said second self-locked pin is greater than a force required to pull a trashcan liner from said inserted cartridge. 3. The trashcan liner dispenser recited in claim 2, whereby: said tension break force is greater than 3.5 pounds. 4. The trashcan liner dispenser recited in claim 2, whereby: said tension break force is about 5 pounds. 5. The trashcan liner dispenser recited in claim 2, whereby: said tension break force required to break the inserted cartridge free is about 2.5 times greater than a pulling force required to pull a liner from the inserted cartridge. 6. The trashcan liner dispenser recited in claim 5, whereby: said first support leg is biased toward said front panel. 7. The trashcan liner dispenser recited in claim 5, whereby: said first support leg is biased toward said front panel and said second support leg is biased toward said back panel. 8. The trashcan liner dispenser recited in claim 1, whereby said cartridge comprises: a) a liner access opening on a front panel of the cartridge, said access opening including a perforated notch that extends in a longitudinal direction along said front panel and a perforated slit that extends in a transverse direction along said front panel, said perforated slit bisected by the perforated notch, andb) a support member housed within said cartridge, said support member comprising a first support leg opposite a second support leg on which said supply of folded trashcan liners is draped in an arrangement of fourth lengths so that a first end of the folded supply of liners is suspended between the first support leg and said front panel and is positioned adjacent said liner access opening, a second end of the folded supply of liners is suspended between the second support leg and a back panel of the cartridge, and a belly portion of the folded supply of liners is suspended between said first support leg and said second support leg; whereby the draped arrangement of fourth lengths, in combination with said access opening, causes a pulling force to be sequentially applied to each successive fourth length of a liner withdrawn from the cartridge through said slit portion of the access opening. 9. A trashcan liner cartridge, comprising: a) at least two perforated retainer slots provided along a surface of said trashcan liner cartridge,b) a liner access opening located along a front panel of the trashcan liner cartridge and comprising a vertical notch that bisects a horizontal slit, andc) a support member housed within said trashcan liner cartridge, said support member including a supply of folded liners suspended along their lengths on said support member in an arrangement of fourths lengths so that a first fourth length of said folded liners is positioned adjacent said liner access opening, whereby said supply of folded trashcan liners in combination with said access opening causes a pulling force to be sequentially applied to each successive liner fourth length as a liner is pulled from said supply of folded liners through said horizontal slit portion of the access opening. 10. The trashcan liner cartridge recited in claim 9, whereby: said support member includes a first support leg is biased toward said front panel access opening. 11. The trashcan liner cartridge recited in claim 9, whereby: said support member includes a first support leg is biased toward said front panel access opening and a second support leg biased toward a back panel positioned opposite said first panel access opening.
