A vented trash container with a manifold of air channels which is capable of distributing air throughout the entire container. The vented trash container is capable of eliminating vacuum between walls of the container and a liner. The manifold in the container comprises a plurality of air channels and an air distributing means. The manifold forms a network of the air channels so as to provide air distribution throughout the entire container and enhance reliability of the air distribution. The vented trash container with the manifold can be cast form a single piece of a material to form an integrated seamless unit and easily manufactured by a single injection molding process.

1. A vented trash container comprising: a bottom, at least one side wall raised from said bottom, and an open top;a manifold of air channels for air distribution comprising a plurality of substantially vertical air channels positioned on said at least one side wall, a plurality of substantially horizontal air channels positioned on said bottom, and an air distributing means located substantially at the center of said bottom;each of said vertical air channels on each of said at least one side wall being spaced apart at regular intervals with respect to adjacent vertical air channels on said at least one side wall and being defined by recessing a segment of said at least one side wall outward away from the interior of said container, having a longitudinal side opened toward the interior of said container, having a first longitudinal open end located proximal to said open top, having a second longitudinal open end located proximal to said bottom;each of said horizontal air channels being defined by recessing a segment of said bottom downward away from the interior of said container, having a longitudinal side opened toward the interior of said container, being longitudinally positioned along a substantially radial direction from said air distributing means, having a third longitudinal open end connecting to a respective one of said second longitudinal open ends, and having a fourth longitudinal open end connecting to said air distributing means, said horizontal air channels being substantially uniform in width; andsaid air distributing means comprising a looping channel around a raised central piece, said raised central piece being of a uniform height and substantially coplanar with said bottom, said looping channel being defined by recessing a segment of said bottom downward away from the interior of said container, said looping channel opened toward the interior of said container, said looping channel being substantially uniform in width, said horizontal air channels communicating to each other through said looping channel. 2. The vented trash container of claim 1, wherein said open top has a shape of a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle, a square, a triangle, a trapezoid, or a polygon. 3. The vented trash container of claim 1, wherein said bottom has a shape of a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle, a square, a triangle, a trapezoid, or a polygon. 4. The vented trash container of claim 1, wherein each of said vertical air channels has a laterally sectional shape of a semicircle, a semi-ellipse, a rectangle, a square, a triangle, a trapezoid, or a polygon. 5. The vented trash container of claim 1, wherein each of said horizontal air channels has a laterally sectional shape of a semicircle, a semi-ellipse, a rectangle, a square, a triangle, a trapezoid, or a polygon. 6. The vented trash container of claim 1, wherein said looping channel has a laterally sectional shape of a semicircle, a semi-ellipse, a rectangle, a square, a triangle, a trapezoid, or a polygon. 7. The vented trash container of claim 1, wherein said looping channel is around said raised central piece in a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle, a square, a triangle, a trapezoid, or a polygon. 8. The vented trash container of claim 1, wherein said raised central piece has a top view shape of a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle, a square, a triangle, a trapezoid, or a polygon. 9. The vented trash container of claim 1, wherein the width of the horizontal air channels and looping channel is constant. 10. A linable vented trash container comprising: a bottom, at least one side wall raised from said bottom, and an open top;a network of air channels for preventing a vacuum condition from occurring between a liner placed in said container and the bottom or at least one side wall of said container comprising a plurality of substantially vertical air channels positioned on said at least one side wall, a plurality of substantially horizontal air channels positioned on said bottom, and an air distribution nexus located substantially at the center of said bottom;each of said vertical air channels being symmetrically spaced from a midpoint of said at least one side wall and spaced from adjacent vertical air channels on each of said at least one side wall at regular intervals, and being defined by recessing a segment of said at least one side wall outward away from the interior of said container, having a longitudinal side opened toward the interior of said container, having a first longitudinal open end located proximal to said open top, and having a second longitudinal open end located proximal to said bottom;each of said horizontal air channels being defined by recessing a segment of said bottom downward away from the interior of said container, having a longitudinal side opened toward the interior of said container, being longitudinally positioned along a substantially radial direction from said air distribution nexus, having a third longitudinal open end connecting to a respective one of said second longitudinal open ends, and having a fourth longitudinal open end connecting to said air distribution nexus; andsaid air distribution nexus comprising a looping channel defined by a chamber and a raised unchanneled central piece, said chamber having a uniform width and being defined by recessing a segment of said bottom downward away from the interior of said container and said chamber being opened toward the interior of said container, said raised piece being positioned substantially at the center of said chamber. 11. The trash container of claim 10 in which the width of said looping channel and of said horizontal channels is constant. 12. The trash container of claim 11 in which the dimensions of said vertical channels is constant.
