Abstract: A pair of hangers are employed to support and hold open a plastic grocery bag to reuse the grocery bag as a trash bag. The hangers are each formed of a pair of upright standards and a laterally extending stretching rack bounded at opposite ends by the upright standards. The stretching rack is of a length suitable to receive a handgrip loop of a plastic grocery bag so that the upright standards hold the loop stretched across the stretching rack. The hangers are mounted on opposite ends of the rim of a waste container or upon a vertical support in horizontally spaced separation from each other so that the plastic grocery bag is suspended from and held open by the hangers for reuse as a trash bag.
