    Abstract: This Invention provides a stable stand-alone apparatus to hold and/or transport plastic shopping bags that are being reused as refuse containers. A shallow pan is formed as the base of this apparatus. The shallow base pan is complemented by two opposing sides each of which rises at a slight outward angle to two shoulders and a tapered neck. The opposing pliable handles of the plastic shopping bag are placed about the tapered necks and retained at these positions. This holds the pliable plastic shopping bag with its opening at shoulder level. The tapered necks each have an elongated hole to provide hand holds. This allows the user clean, safe and easy hand carry of refuse in the "The Plastic Bag Caddy" from an under sink cabinet or closet to another depository. The front and back areas above the shallow base pan are open. This allows expansion of the plastic bag as it is filled.
