Sometimes, a knot in a plastic sack does an insufficient job of securing its contents inside. The Laser Trash Can keeps your hands clean and your scraps sealed away by tying off each full bag for you.
In form, this He Hao Chen invention is a generic waste paper basket. It takes a flaring cylindrical shape with a sufficiently broad rim, making it a nice wide target for throwing in tissues and such from a distance.
But what the Laser Trash Can has that others do not is a small slot in the upper edge. This is part of a mechanism that automatically dispenses and fastens red bands to the gathered neck of your plastic bag as soon as you insert it.
