Abstract: Apparatus facilitating the use of a plastic grocery bag as a trash container may take the form of an adapter for supporting the plastic grocery gag in a condition for receiving trash, a trash can for supporting the plastic bag as a liner therein or a clip for securing the plastic bag within a trash can. The adapter form of the apparatus includes a ring adapted to be snugly received by the opening of the plastic bag and a plurality of spike-like formations for puncturing the walls of the plastic bag and for thereby suspending the plastic bag from the adapter. Furthermore and inasmuch as each plastic grocery bag commonly includes a pair of handle-providing apertures adjacent the opening of the bag, the adapter includes a pair of hook-like projections intregally connected to the ring for projecting through the handle-providing apertures of the bag permitting the bag and ring to be suspended across the mouth of a trash can.
