A garbage container assembly for removing a garbage bag laterally from a garbage container includes a container that is positionable on a support surface. A garbage bag is removably positioned in the container for containing garbage. The container has a first section that is hingedly coupled to a second section. Moreover, the second section is positionable in an open position thereby facilitating the garbage bag to be removed from the container without lifting the garbage bag. A lid is removably positionable on the container. The lid has an access port therein to facilitate garbage to be passed therethrough for depositing the garbage in the garbage bag.
