1. A toilet assembly comprising:
a toilet seat assembly comprising a toilet seat and a toilet lid;
a main chassis;
a front bag guide;
a drive assembly;
an opener arm assembly comprising first and second opener arms configured to pivot between closed and open positions; and
a bag assembly comprising at least one waste bag, said waste bag having first and second panels joined to one another along a common bottom edge and along a first side edge and a second side edge so that said waste bag has an interior, said first and second panels having respective top and bottom portions extending between said first side edge and said second side edge, each of said top portions comprising an upper guide bead portion and a lower sealing portion, said upper guide portion forming a top edge defining a mouth opening into said interior, said lower sealing portion comprising an interior-facing sealing mechanism and one or more at least partially exterior-facing guide ribs, said interior-facing mechanism of said first panel oriented to engage said interior-facing mechanism of said second panel to permanently or releasably seal said mouth;
wherein, said drive assembly releasably engages said exterior-facing guide ribs to secure and suspend a first end of said waste bag proximate said first side edge, and said front bag guide releasably engages said exterior-facing guide ribs to secure and suspend a second end of said waste bag proximate said second side edge;
wherein, said first opener arm configured to releasably engage said first panel and said second opener arm configured to releasably engage said second panel, whereby when said first and second opener arms pivot to said open position, said first and second panels pivot laterally to said open position, and when said first and second opener arms retract to said closed position, said first and second panels pivot medially to said closed position, whereby said waste bag is closed prior to disposal; and
wherein, said drive assembly causes said interior-facing mechanism to seal said waste bag and deposits said sealed waste bag into a waste compartment.
