     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to  FIGS. 1 through 5  thereof, a new concealment device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral  10  will be described. 
     As best illustrated in  FIGS. 1 through 5 , the trash container concealment system  10  generally comprises a trash container  12  that has a body  14  and a lid  16  hingedly coupled to the body  14 . The trash container  12  may be a trash can or the like. A shielding apparatus  18  is positioned around the trash container  12  to conceal the trash container  12 . 
     The shielding apparatus  18  comprises a panel  20  that has a front side  22 , a back side  24  and a peripheral edge  26  extending therebetween. The panel  20  has a central section  28  and a pair of flanking sections  30  each extending rearwardly away from the central section  28  and each of the flanking sections  30  has a distal end  32  with respect to the central section  28 . The flanking sections  30  are spaced apart from each other to define a space  34  between the flanking sections  30 . 
     A bottom side  36  of the peripheral edge  26  may abut a support surface  38 . The support surface  38  may be ground. The trash container  12  is positioned between the flanking sections  30  such that the panel  20  surrounds the trash container  12 . The front side  22  has indicia  40  printed thereon. The indicia  40  may comprise images of flowers or other visually appealing imagery. The indicia  40  serves to beautify the presence of the trash container  12 . 
     A clip  42  is coupled to the back side  24  corresponding to the central section  28 . The clip  42  is positioned adjacent to a top side  44  of the peripheral edge  26 . The clip  42  engages a hinge  46  on the trash container  12  when the trash container  12  is positioned between the flanking sections  30 . The clip  42  may be one of a pair of clips  42 . 
     A strap  48  is coupled to the back side  24  and extends between the flanking sections  30 . The strap  48  is positioned adjacent the distal ends  32  and the strap  48  has a break  50  therein to define a free end  52  of each of a first portion  54  and a second portion  56 . A pair of couplers  58  is each coupled to the free end  52  of one of the first portion  54  and the second portion  56 . The couplers  58  are complementary and the strap  48  prevents the flanking sections  30  from being moved away from the trash container  12  when the trash container  12  is positioned in the space  34 . 
     In use, the panel  20  is placed in an area where the trash container  12  is utilized. The trash container  12  is placed in the space  34  between the flanking sections  30 . The clip  42  engages the hinge  46  on the trash can  12  to retain the panel  20  on the trash can  12 . The couplers  58  are coupled together so the flanking sections  30  are retained proximate the trash can  12 . The couplers  58  are uncoupled from each other, the clip  42  is removed from the hinge  46  and the trash container  12  is removed from the space  34  when the trash container  12  is to be emptied. The trash container  12  is utilized in the convention of trash containment while the panel  20  surround the trash container  12 . 
     With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
