Bag Sealing Bin   (+4)  [vote for, against]
Rubbish bin that automatically closes bin bags

Put bag in empty bin. Put rubbish in bin. Pull lever. Bin closes top of bag and seals it (with tie/twist/knot/heat). Remove newly-sealed bag from bin and place at kerbside.

Mothercare do a nappy (diaper to you colonials) bin that works on this principle. You seem to end up with a long string of plastic skined, soiled nappy sausages at the end though.

They better be strong bags. If you lift the newly-sealed bag from the bin & said bag breaks you are back at square one with probably some colourful language.

I'm giving it a croissant anyways...anything to make the garbage/rubbish removal process more efficient is ok with me.

Equal parts toxic waste and Velcro.
