Abstract:
An extender formed from at least one flat piece of material that has straight edges, that includes a body structure formed by attaching a first edge of the at least one flat piece of material to a second, opposing edge thereof. The body structure includes a wall defining an interior space extending therethrough and at least one dynamic portion configured to be manipulated to create a first fold portion and a second fold portion that inwardly extend into the interior space. The body structure is configured to be inserted into a garbage can to extend a capacity of the garbage can. As the body structure is further inserted into the garbage can, the at least one dynamic portion facilitates a change in shape of the wall so that at least a portion of the wall becomes more tapered the further the body structure is inserted into the garbage can.

Claim (Index 20):
A method for collecting waste, the method comprising:\n providing a receptacle for storing waste materials, the receptacle configured to be lifted and inverted by a mechanical means of a garbage collection vehicle to empty the waste materials; providing an extender for use with the receptacle, the extender cooperating with the receptacle to increase a storage capacity of the provided receptacle, wherein the extender is disposable along with the waste materials; and at the same time, collecting the waste materials and the extender using the mechanical means of the garbage collection means; wherein the extender is formed from at least one flat piece of material that has straight edges and at least one dynamic portion of the body structure, wherein the at least one dynamic portion is configured to be manipulated to create a first fold portion and a second fold portion that inwardly extends into the interior space; wherein the extender is configured to receive waste materials through the interior space.
