ABOUT
The story from our creator
Kenneth, the Founder, CEO & President of KenCleanCan
I was walking out the door one day when my girlfriend told me to take out the trash before I left. With the full trash bag in hand and already halfway out the door again, she yelled, “Put a new bag in the trashcan!”
At that moment I knew there had to be an easier way of doing that daily chore. I went for a jog but kept thinking about how to solve this problem. I was determined to solve this problem for myself and millions of consumers who forget to change the trash bag after throwing out the trash, which inevitably, aggravates the ones we love!
Within 30 minutes I had the idea in my head. I turned around and ran back home. I knew I had a great idea but now I needed to turn it into a great product. KenCleanCan in the new modified trash can that I proudly invented.
The KenCleanCan
When you remove the full bag of trash, a new bag is already in position ready to take its place; you simply need to detach the bag and open the new bag for use. No more walking to the other side of the kitchen to get trash bags which may or may not be stored under the kitchen sink or in the pantry or somewhere else. Now your kids won't have an excuse for not putting a new bag in the trash can.
The other part of KenCleanCan is the caddy. It is the starting point for the bags that will be inserted into the trash can. The caddy also serves as a storage area for an extra roll of trashbags. Now you will always know if you have trashbags or if you need to purchase more. In addition to the caddy, there is an open slot at the bottom of the trash can which allows for water to drain after you have washed out the inside of the trash can. Now the KenCleanCan has given consumers what they have wanted in a wastebasket...true convenience

MEET OUR CREATOR:
Kenneth, the creator of KenCleanCan, is an avid jogger currently living in Los Angeles, California. He is not an engineer or a designer, he is simply your average person who found a solution for a common inconvenience. He worked on his invention on weekends and after getting home from his regular job.
In his spare time he was able to make prototypes, which received many compliments from the public. At times, he was forced to call in sick to his job in order to focus on his invention. Kenneth recently left his job, which enables him to work around the clock to bring his invention to market. The KenCleanCan Trashcan & KenCleanCan Trash Bags will be in homes around the world before you know it!
Years before creating KenCleanCan, I was the first male in the family to attend college. Like most college students, I ended up getting a job in the summer and I never returned. Over the years I’ve worked normal jobs for many Fortune 500 companies. I’m always asked by many of my coworkers, why are you working here, you don’t belong here, you are a smart person that should be working in a professional environment. I liked doing manual labor work because it keeps me in shape, also I couldn’t see myself sitting at a desk in a cubicle for hours.
I’ve had the entrepreneur spirit before but it never worked out. Every place I worked my coworkers would say, you are a smart guy, you shouldn’t be here. I remember meeting an attorney about a workplace issue. The attorney said to me, you are smart, go to law school and when you graduate you will have a job at my firm.One day I decided to go back to college and follow a passion of mine. Because of the history of racism in this country and witnessing how employers, managers and supervisors treated their employees in the workplace, I knew I wanted to become an Employment & Civil Rights Attorney. Years after graduating high school and dropping out of college, I decided to see how smart I really am. I decided to go take the school entry Law School Admission Test (LSAT), which assesses reading comprehension, analytical reasoning, and logical reasoning skills.
All these people say I’m a smart person and I’m about to find out. (lol)
I took the test and I was told to come back in an hour for the results. I thought I did well but I wasn’t sure. I was afraid to return because who actually likes getting bad news in person. When I arrived back at the law school, the administrator smiled and said, congratulations, you passed the test.
I was excited about starting law school and I was on my way of becoming an attorney. After getting my classes set up and buying my books, I decided to not attend two weeks before school started. There were several reasons for me not attending which were factors in my decision.
After going back into the workforce and being laid-off many times, I knew I had to do something different. My brain finally kicked-in again and I started to become creative. Kencleancan Trash Can is not my first Invention. I invented another product for avid runners. I will share this product with you after getting KenCleanCan off the ground.
HOW IT WORKS?
When you pull the full bag from the wastebasket, an empty bag will be pulled into place…no need to go search for another trash bag! Simply tear off the old bag at the perforation and set the new bag in place.
KenCleanCan is also ideal in a commercial environment where efficiencies can be improved in the repetitive nature of emptying trash cans.
