This invention provides a convenient, portable, space efficient and ecologically friendly way to dispose of, transport or store waste or other items.
In this green era, people want to have bags that have greater functionality than the typical plastic bag. College kids have small dorm rooms, but with the ‘go’ bag, they instantly have a space efficient means to store clothes or linen on their closet doors. Similarly, porch cookouts are cramped by definition and it is extremely cumbersome to have a large trash can out, or worse, have to continually change the garbage bags for small receptacles. The ‘go’ bag is also useful for minor tasks such as cleaning up around the yard. Now people have a space efficient item that makes clean up easy.
The ‘go’ bag can also be taken on the ‘go’. It is a perfect way to ensure there is a receptacle close to the cookout plot at the neighborhood park, tailgating event or any other impromptu gathering where garbage cans aren't really accessible.
Even on a larger scale, the ‘go’ bag is invaluable. The loops on the bag can be used to latch to gates and fences to create more available receptacles in neighborhoods or parks for pedestrians to deposit their refuse. The subsequent decrease in littering will help maintain the aesthetic beauty of parks and neighborhoods. More importantly, ‘go’ bags can be used for major neighborhood and park cleaning projects to help reestablish neighborhoods.
Besides being recyclable, the ‘go’ can also serve as a reusable container. It can hang over a door as a laundry basket or be used by the resident grill-master to store all his or her trusty grilling items in one place.
Whether the ‘go’ bag is used to store goods or waste, there is a universal need for bags that keep pests out, are highly portable and easy. The ‘go’ bag serves all these functions as well. The drawstring allows for quick binding by providing ready made handles to transport the bag whenever and wherever. For those instances where it's imperative to ensure that nothing, including air, enters the bag, there is an air tight seal to keep the bag pest free.
In addition to the portability, the ‘go’ bag can be utilized in sites where receptacles are needed but not normally seen, whether it be construction sites, little league baseball games, or along fences or gates during festivals or parades. The reinforced apertures on the top of the taller, back side of the bag allow for various sized loops to weave through the bag and conveniently hang onto almost any horizontal surface.
Bags are typically made of lightweight plastic. Their composition makes them easily breakable and far from reusable. Conversely, the ‘go’ bag is made of significantly thicker, recyclable 3 mil plastic. This makes the bag sturdier, which in turn makes it more that just a recyclable throw away bag, it makes it legitimately reusable.
The present invention comprises a bag with a pair of apertures that allow for loops to be integrated so that the ‘go’ bag can hang on horizontal surfaces. Pressure on the loops is diffracted as the bag lays against the corresponding horizontal surfaces ‘vertical surface’ The ‘go’ bag's ability to hang on various surfaces adds to the space efficiency of the item as it can be used in almost any occasion while using as little room as possible. Moreover, it is easy to use. The dimensions of the bag ensure that it remains in a convenient, open position and the drawstring along the seam of the bag's opening makes it easy to transport. Further, the ‘go’ bag folds easily, thus giving it the portability of conventional bags but the utility of large receptacles.
