Patent attributes
A combination tissue dispenser and trash receptacle is disclosed. A substantially hollow housing has a dispensing compartment and a receptacle compartment which each include an aperture therein for ingress or egress of tissues. A dividing wall separates each compartment, and each compartment further includes a retaining flap that covers the aperture for selectively retaining tissues therein. In use, the dispensing compartment is loaded with unused tissues, each being successively removed through the aperture for use when needed. After a tissue is used, the used tissue is inserted past the retaining flap of the receptacle compartment and retained therein. In this way used tissues may be easily discarded after use in a convenient manner. An embodiment having removable receptacle inserts for convenient temporary storage of used tissues is also disclosed.
