A machine for packing elongate bags for use with a waste disposal apparatus is disclosed herein. The machine comprises means for holding a reel of flexible tubing, the flexible tubing wound on the reel as a film having two parallel edges, the flexible tubing, when opened, forming a ring of elongate flexible tubing having an aperture at at least one end. The machine also comprises a pair of gripping means configured to engage and grip a region proximate to each edge of the film and draw the film of flexible tubing off of the reel, and a jig configured to be inserted into the aperture and hold a portion of the film in a ring around the jig, the jig configured to hold the film adjacent to and in engagement with the gripping means. Operation of the gripping means causes the film of elongate flexible tubing to be drawn over the jig and to be gathered in a ring of compacted flexible tubing around a base of the jig.
