Abstract
Waste container includes a base defining a waste-receiving compartment and including a body and a closure component adapted to retain a membrane. The closure component includes a support portion defining an opening through which a bag is partly inserted into the compartment and then into which waste is insertable. The closure component is pivotally attached to the body to provide the compartment with either an open or closed position. The body includes a closure component support portion that supports the closure component. A lid is movably attached to the base and moves between a closed position covering the opening and an open position in which it does not obstruct the opening. A waste treatment component is arranged on an underside of the lid and is positioned to at least partly press against the membrane, when the membrane is present, when the lid is closed.
