<p>A bag assembly (8) for containing material requiring handling and compaction, such as household waste, includes bags that are nested one within another to produce a double-walled structure. Gussets and folds (44, 46) are also provided which are temporarily held together by restraining means such as adhesive (48) to provide a first, smaller bag volume for a waste container. A bag restraining lid is removably positionable over the open end of the container, which includes a container lid for accessing the bag assembly. The adhesive is adapted to break away when the bag assembly is compacted so that it assumes a second, larger volume and minimizes the chance that the bag assembly will be ruptured during the compaction process. In a second embodiment, the bag assembly may be supported by a rack, frame, or hook. In a third embodiment, the bag assembly may be a single-walled rather than a double-walled structure.</p> |
