Receptacle configured for liner replacement without lid removal

1. A receptacle comprising:

a. a receptacle body comprising:

i. an interior for receiving a flexible liner;

ii. an exterior;

iii. an opening having an opening perimeter;

iv. a pair of trunnion hinges comprising a first trunnion and a second trunnion configured on and extending outward from said receptacle body exterior; wherein each trunnion comprises a trunnion post for detachably attaching a lid;

wherein the first trunnion extends outward from the receptacle body in a first direction and the second trunnion extends outward from said receptacle body in a second and opposing direction;

v. a liner retainer portion comprising;

1. a flange that extends substantially around said opening perimeter to form a channel for receiving and retaining a flexible liner perimeter therein;

2. a flange extension extending downward from said flange and having a flange extension length,

wherein said flange extension is configured at an offset distance from said trunnion posts;

b. a lid detachably attached to said receptacle by a hinge coupler comprising a lid recess that extends at least partially around said post of the trunnion:

wherein the receptacle body is configured to received and retain a flexible liner with the flexible liner perimeter retained in said channel and extending from the flange extensions over said hinge;

whereby the flexible liner can be replaced with a new flexible liner without detaching the lid from said hinge.

2. The receptacle of claim 1 , wherein the receptacle is a trash receptacle.

3. The receptacle of claim 1 , wherein the liner retainer portion is an integral liner retainer portion with the receptacle body, wherein the receptacle body and liner retainer portion are a one-piece unit.

4. The receptacle of claim 1 , wherein the flange extends out from the opening perimeter and down to an extended end to form the channel.

5. The receptacle of claim 1 , wherein the first and second trunnions extend outward from said receptacle body beyond the liner retainer portion.

6. The receptacle of claim 1 , wherein the first and second trunnions comprise said post and a head located at an extended end of said post;

wherein the head is larger in a cross-dimensional distance than said head;

whereby the lid is configured to be retained on the trunnion posts by the hinge coupler comprising said lid recess that is configured at least partially around said post.

7. The receptacle of claim 1 , wherein the first trunnion extends outward from the receptacle body in a first direction and the second trunnion extends outward from said receptacle body in a second and opposing direction.

8. The receptacle of claim 1 , wherein the first and second trunnions are integral trunnions with the receptacle body, wherein the receptacle body and trunnions are a one-piece unit.

9. The receptacle of claim 1 , wherein the first trunnion is configured on a left side of the receptacle body and the second trunnion is configured on a right side of the receptacle body.

10. The receptacle of claim 9 , wherein the lid comprises a left and a right side, a lid perimeter and a first and second hinge coupler, each comprising said lid recess configured in the lid perimeter on said left and opposing right side respectively and wherein the lid recesses are configured to couple with the trunnion posts to detachably attach the lid to the receptacle body.

11. The receptacle of claim 9 , wherein the flange extends completely around the receptacle perimeter and wherein the flange extension is configured along a back-side of the receptacle body starting at a first offset distance from the trunnions and around the receptacle perimeter starting at an offset distance from the trunnions and extending along the left and right sides to a front-side and along the front-side of the receptacle body.

12. A trash receptacle consisting essentially of:

a. a receptacle body comprising:

i. an interior for receiving a flexible liner;

ii. an exterior;

iii. an opening having an opening perimeter;

iv. a hinge configured along the back-side of the receptacle body;

v. a liner retainer portion comprising;

a flange that extends around said opening perimeter to form a channel for receiving and retaining a flexible liner perimeter therein;

a flange extension extending downward from said flange and having a flange extension length,

wherein said flange extension is configured at an offset distance from said hinge;

b. a lid comprising:

i. a hinge coupler, to retain the lid to the hinge;

wherein the receptacle body is configured to received and retain a flexible liner with the flexible liner perimeter retained in said channel;

whereby the flexible liner can be replaced with a new flexible liner without detaching the lid from said hinge;

wherein the liner retainer portion is an integral liner retainer portion with the receptacle body, wherein the receptacle body and liner retainer portion are a one-piece unit.

13. The receptacle of claim 12 , wherein the hinge extends substantially all the way across the back-side of the receptacle body.

14. The receptacle of claim 13 , wherein the liner retainer portion extends from an offset distance from the hinge, along the left and right sides to a front side and along said front of the receptacle body.

15. The trash receptacle of claim 12 , wherein the liner retainer portion is an integral liner retainer portion with the receptacle body, wherein the receptacle body and liner retainer portion are a one-piece unit.

16. The trash receptacle of claim 15 , wherein the flange extends completely around the receptacle perimeter and extends out from the opening perimeter and down a flange length to an extended end to form the channel.

17. The trash receptacle of claim 16 , wherein the flange extension length is at least 0.75 the flange length.
