Description
Background:
In households and offices, people separate consumer waste from recyclables and organics in many different ways. The majority of households and offices sort in a central area, which is generally located close to the kitchen. Despite best intentions, it's often difficult to effectively sort in every room of the home and office. The result is that lots of recyclable and organic materials get discarded in single-stream waste bins that are typically found in bedrooms, offices, and bathrooms.
Some people sort materials by moving small bits and pieces of recyclables and organics from room to room, gradually finding their way to a central sorting area. Some pick through their waste bins on garbage day to salvage a few of the more obvious recyclables before throwing the remaining mixed material in the trash.
Others purchase several separate recycling bins for each room and line them up next to their waste bin or they buy entirely new bins that have integrated sorting capabilities.
These solutions are inconvenient, inefficient, unattractive, or wasteful.
One existing product that adds some limited sorting functionality to existing single-stream waste bins are small mini-bins that hang over the top rim of a waste bin. The static size and shape of these bins however limit the volume of materials they can hold and the number of separate sorting streams that can be accommodated within any one bin.
Because of the limited options described above, smaller scale single-stream waste bins continue to persist in bedrooms, offices and bathrooms causing a large portion of recyclable and organic materials to be needlessly tossed in with the trash and lost to the waste stream.

Summary of Invention:
BIN-INSTm waste bin divider kits are highly adaptable tools that combine a unique mounting and receiving clip (fig,l) with a unique dually adjustable bag frame (fig.2) for the purpose of converting a single-stream waste bin into a multi-stream sorting bin, allowing users to sort any combination or grouping of metal, paper, plastic, organics, or waste to suit the specific requirements of local sorting programs or user preferences.
With the top portion of a suitably sized bag folded over the dually adjustable bag frame (fig.2), and the dually adjustable bag frame (fig.2) adjusted to suit the size of the bag and shape of the host waste bin, the dually adjustable bag frame (fig.2) with said bag, Is upwardly inserted into the opening of the receiving side of the mounting and receiving clip (2).
The mounting and receiving clip (fig.1), and dually adjustable bag frame (fig.2) with said bag, is then mounted to a waste bin by pushing the opening of the mounting side (3) of the mounting an receiving clip (fig.1), over the top rim of a waste bin. The combined tension and alignment delivered through the design of the mounting and receiving clip (fig.1) allows the dually adjustable bag frame (fig.2) to be held In an open position parallel to the top the a waste bin using only a singular area of connection between the dually adjustable bag frame (fig.2) and the mounting and receiving clip (fig.1).
Users then attach and detach the mounting and receiving clip (fig.1) together with the dually adjustable bag frame (fig.2) from the waste bin as a single unit for easy and efficient dumping of contents into larger recycle/sorting bins.
The receiving side of the mounting and receiving clip (2) holds bags securely in-place over the dually adjustable bag frame (fig.2) and In a position that does not obscure the customizable identification window (1) of the mounting and receiving clip (fig,1), The top portion of the mounting side of the mounting and receiving clip (fig.1) has a functional void space (6) to accommodate waste bins that have rolled, elongated, or structural top rims.
This functionally adaptive space allows the mounting and receiving clips to be used with a ______ range-of-waste-bin-styles.
_________________________________________________________ Though, the preferred embodiment of the mounting and receiving clip will be constructed using bent clip metal, minor and obvious design modifications, using different materials and processes such as injection-mould or extrusion can be used to achieve the same functional design.
The dually adjustable bag frame (fig.2) Is adjustable along the lengths of both Its curved, flexible side (4) as well as its straight, rigid side (5).
The dually adjustable bag frame (fig.2) holds its circumference and shape through simple tension which is applied by four tension bands (7), which are used to join the overlapping straps (8,9) of the dually adjustable bag frame (fig.2). Each tension band (7) is secured to the end of one strap, wrapped around a second overlapping strap and secured again to the first strap In a way that allows the strap with the tension band attached to slide along the length of the second strap.
The dually adjustable bag frame's straight, rigid overlapping segments (8) and curved, flexible overlapping segments (9) are attached using two flexible elbow joints (10).
When assembled, the bag frame forms a variably adjustable 'D' or bow-shape allowing one frame to be configured into many sized and shaped as Illustrated in (fig,2b).
By adjusting both sides of the dually adjustable bag frame (fig.2) to different positions and lengths as illustrated in (fig. 2b), the static shape and size of each dually adjustable bag frame (fig.2) can be altered so as to fit within and follow portions of the wall contour of round, oval, square, or rectangular waste-bins of varied size as illustrated in (fig. 5).
Each dually adjustable bag frame (fig. 2) is able to securely hold various sized bags In an open position by simply folding the top portion of a bag's opening over the dually adjustable bag frame (fig.2) and adjusting the position of the overlapping straps (8, 9) to match the circumference of the bag in a shape that is suited to the host waste bin.
Because the dually adjustable bag frame (fig.2) Is a detachable from the mounting and receiving clip (fig.1), it can be mounted along either its curved or flexible side (4) or it& straight and-rtrid side (5)¨depending upon wtTE)ther the wdlITIlhe host was tfi-bin is curved or straight.
For optimal support and efficient use of space within any given waste bin, the straight and more rigid side of the dually adjustable bag-frame (5) is designed to be mounted against the inside of square or rectangular-shaped bins (fig.4). For rounded or curved waste bins, the more flexible and curved portion of the dually adjustable bag frame (4) is intended to be mounted against the Inside wall of a rounded or curved waste bin (fig. 3).
The preferred embodiment of the dually adjustable bag frame (fig. 2) is lA
inches wide, which is narrow enough to minimize skewing from parallel to the top of waste bin when used with conical-shaped waste bins, yet the bag frame is wide enough to support the weight of itself perpendicular to the wall of a waste bin when inserted into the receiving portion of the mounting and receiving clip (2).
The unique advantage of 8ININSTM waste bin divider kits is that they adjust to fit within and follow portions of the wall contour of most single stream waste bins regardless of the size or shape of the waste bin.
Bag frames claimed in prior art are not dually adjustable along both rigid and flexible overlapping segments and are designed for functions other than separating several material streams within one waste bin.
BIN.INSTM also allow users to repurpose/ reuse consumer bags of variable size and shape, such as freezer bags, bread bags, cereal bags, and produce bags, to contain different streams of material within a single waste bin.
BIN-INVA are primarily designed for use in bedrooms, offices and bathrooms, where sorting has been traditionally ineffective.
BIN-INS Tm are designed to increasing capture rates of valuable organics and recyclabies and to reducing waste that is send to landfills.
BIN-INSTm are highly adaptable and designed to suit changing consumer habits, recycling program requirements, and decors. As users change their consumption habits they simply adjust the size of each BINlNTM bag frame (fig.2) and bag to match. If users want to buy a new style of bin to match a new decor, BIN-INSA are easily moved from one bin to the next.
_______ BIN-INS"-are-designed-with-minimal-materials-allowing-forlower-costs-associated-with __ manufacturing, shipping and storage.
Most importantly, BlNtNSTM expose users to the details of their consumer waste, building gradual awareness and ultimately empowering users with a better understanding of their consumer choices. Overtime, understanding becomes action making the concept of "zero waste" a real possibility.
